macondo
A crossword board game solver. It may be the best one in the world (so far).
Current master build status:
What is a crossword board game?
A crossword board game is a board game where you take turns creating crosswords with one or more players. Some examples are:
- Scrabble™️ Brand Crossword Game
- Words with Friends
- Lexulous
- Yahoo! Literati (defunct)
How to use Macondo:
See the manual and information here:
https://domino14.github.io/macondo
protoc
To generate pb files, run this in the macondo directory:
go generate
Make sure you have done
go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest
Creating a new release
(Notes mostly for myself)
Tag the release; i.e. git tag vX.Y.Z, then git push --tags. This will kick off a github action that builds and uploads the latest binaries. Then you should generate some release notes manually.
Using Triton
If you want to use the neural network model, I recommend you use Triton server rather than the default Go server. It's much faster, but it's not trivial to run locally.
If your macondo directory is at $HOME/code/macondo you would run docker run with these parameters:
docker run --gpus all --rm -p 8000:8000 -p 8001:8001 -p 8002:8002 -v $HOME/code/macondo/data/strategy/default/models/:/models nvcr.io/nvidia/tritonserver:25.06-py3 tritonserver --model-repository=/models
You may need to install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit to use your GPU for inference.
Then you can run Macondo with the MACONDO_TRITON_USE_TRITON environment variable set to true.
