I've heard mailbox used for two slightly different approaches. One is the way
TSCP does its 'mailbox' thing, and the other is just using border squares around
the edge of the board, like this:
int board[144] = {
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
};
Then if (board[i] == 0), you ran off the board. Maybe this is equivalent to what
TSCP does. I haven't looked that closely.
