One little suggestion : may be it would be easier for many people if the scores were part of the input. As other people probably do, I need to keep track of the score. Quite difficult as long as you haven't correctly coded all the game rules.

That's a choice I made on purpose: knowing the score is not very important when you start (you just try to do the best move anyway). And when your code is enough advanced (you know how to simulate one turn), it's pretty easy to compute the scores. I prefer to leave this as an exercise.

Impressive improvements in the game ! Congrats. I'd like a kind of "house highlighing" showing which one is played. Sometimes difficult to follow visually. In addition, Would enlight destination house when you mouse over your seeds... Nice job !

I've added a "hand" to point where the player has played.

Looks good. Would recommend adding 1 decent wood boss. Just to make it a little funnier when people starts to get strong bots. (to not play too many games vs players that aren't trying.) Also, a Tooltip on the beans to tell the count would be nice.

You can harvest opponent consecutive houses provided they contain 2 or 3 seeds. It stops when this condition is not met. While harvesting, if that results in emptying all opponent's houses (starving him), the seeds stay in place.

Hi [CG]Maxime, I couldn't find the time limit in the rules. Is it me or ?...

The statement isn't finished yet. It's 50ms per turn, except first turn which is 1s.

As far as I can understand the rules, when a "GrandSlam" arrive (all the seeds of the opponent can be captured), the "picking & sowing" phase are made but the seeds are not captured/collected. Perhaps, in that case, in the referee, the line putting back the seeds in the starting hole ("board[action.num] = seed;") is a mistake. All the seeds of this hole are all ready dispatched in the board.

Oh, I see! Is it better now?

[SOLVED (see answer)]It seems that while a player spreads a large amount of seeds. when spreading into his own camp, the spread "jumps" over empty cells. If a cell is empty, no seed drops into it. The bug is kinda random : it doesn't occurs for each empty cell while happening relatively often (at least once in every game) I tried to look at the referee source but i'm not good at java, sorry... Didnt find the method where player move dropping seeds is managed. Some buzzy thing at the end of game too, as Zorg1 and Astrobyte say...

The rules say that you cannot sow into the house from where you start. Is it what you are seeing ?

A strange bug seems to occurs in certain case. For example in the match that my AI loses against your, or some match it wins against dbdr's AI. At the end, the loser (that dominates the game) play a hole with many seeds and soudainly there are no seeds, and the dominated player gains all the seeds and wins. It is very strange.

Also can confirm this. Haven't determined what the cause is, it was not happening last night iirc.

The boss always plays the same moves against another random player. It does not use the game seed

The boss doesn't have access to the game seed...

Somehow it's player 2 that plays the first move. Small thing but it's a bit confusing in the IDE.

Oh yes, I don't know why, I'll ask [cg]poulton about that tomorrow

Receiving twelve values beginning at the left down corner, finishing at the top left corner. This is fairly enough to my opinion BUT The two first values are incorrect (next values look ok) Once fixed, the puzzle looks perfect to me , no other information needed. Good game !

almost 5 years ago

What's wrong with the two first values?

For my future bot, I need the move played by the opponent. With a sim and past and present state, I can guess it but it would make my life easier.

almost 5 years ago

No need of sim to find the opponent's move. Once the capture problem fixed, you only have to check the opponent hole that becomes empty.

almost 5 years ago

capture seems buggy : I can capture seeds in my own camp ! (sorry can't link a replay) (according the rule, captures occur only if the sowing finish in the opponent camp, and only for holes in this camp)

I forgot that rule! I'll fix it.

Don't you need a player id at startup ? If I understand the rules, player 0 plays only houses 0 to 5 and player 1 houses 6 to 11

The input and output are adapted so that the second player also use indexes 0 to 5 for his houses

Cool, a new multi The stub generator is off: it tries to read 12 ints in a single line, while it's actually 2 lines of 6 values each.

almost 5 years ago

Oh, you're right! That's because I've changed my mind. I'm fixing it right now.

Nice! Minor issue: the gray color of the text is not very visible, and the "Score: 0" becomes just "3" when it is updated.

Score fixed thanks.
