N2 - Techniques to adapt the hit-and-miss Monte-Carlo numerical integration are proposed with the aim to determine virial coefficients up to eighth order in fluids of hard convex bodies, hard spheres with an attractive square-well potential and a two-component mixture of hard spheres. These algorithms make use of look-up tables of all the blocks contributing to the coefficients. Each type of block is represented in the tables by several entries. These correspond to all possible topologically equivalent graphs that can be generated by the Monte-Carlo process. This rendered the Monte-Carlo method statistically more efficient. In the case of a two-component system the look-up tables had to have representations of blocks having two sorts of vertices. The reported data are: improved values of the seventh and eighth virial coefficients for hard spheres, the sixth, seventh and eighth coefficients of spheroids, spherocylinders and cut-spheres, fifth virial coefficient of spheres with a square-well potential of relative range 1.25; 1.5; 1.75 and 2.0 and the partial contributions of the sixth virial coefficient for a mixture of hard spheres with the size ratio 0.1.
