coolguyandClaude Opus 4.7 05de0e2a81 Port safe-heuristic bots to Cython with Python reference fallback
Cython implementation in heuristic_cy.pyx achieves ~2.55× speedup on
opponent_act_seconds (200-game eval: 59.20s → 23.24s). Original Python
implementation preserved verbatim in heuristic_py.py as the equivalence
reference. Action-sequence equivalence is verified by
test_safe_heuristic_equivalence.py against seeded game corpora.

Key implementation notes:
- File-local wraparound=True override required for negative discard
  indexing; Cython global wraparound=False would segfault.
- annotation_typing=False preserves verbatim Python semantics.
- _CachedState materializes hands/expeditions/discards/deck once per
  act() call — this is the dominant performance win.

Further C-array optimization of _card_value_for_me /
_card_value_for_opponent / _color_commitment / _bonus_potential is
deferred. The current 2.55× delivers most of the dense-eval future
benefit; further work is gated on actually adopting denser eval
schedules (eval_every=5, games=1000).

coolrl-lost-cities

Focused Lost Cities extraction from the legacy coolrl repository.

The current implementation starts with the classic two-player card game:

  • classic 5-expedition rules by default
  • Python/Cython game engine
  • env wrapper
  • random, passive-discard, and safe-heuristic bots
  • core rule, scoring, mask, env, canonical-state, bot, and GUI smoke tests

Training code, Deep CFR, learned-policy evaluation, GUI, and web client are intentionally outside the first port.

Development

uv run pytest tests/games/classic
uv run lost-cities-classic

For future GUI work, install the optional GUI dependencies:

uv sync --extra gui

Run the classic pygame GUI:

uv run lost-cities-classic-gui --mode pvc --bot safe-heuristic

The GUI uses the in-process Cython game engine.

Basic Usage

from coolrl_lost_cities.games.classic import GameState, build_bot, classic_config

state = GameState.new_game(classic_config(seed=1))
bot = build_bot("random", seed=1)

while not state.terminal:
    state.apply_action(bot.act(state))

print(state.total_score(0), state.total_score(1))

See classic port notes for the current direction.
