She died during an Amazons attack on Athens, killed by the spear of her sister Molpadia. Contemporary Antiope Antiope is now the name of my Amazons computer program. I started developing it in May 2000. A version that can compete against the top Amazons programs in the world has already been completed. However, Antiope will be undergoing constant development and improvement.
Amazons is a very elegant game with a very large branching factor.
At the starting position there are 2176 possible moves. As the game progresses, the number of possible moves is gradually reduced but on average it remains several hundreds. This large branching factor makes it impossible for computer programs to effectively search all the moves. This is why Amazons provides fertile ground for developing and testing selective search and forward pruning techniques. Program Features Opening Book.
