Go up one level in this thread

1.)

Why don't u turn off the "move now" function against other prgrams (excluding
first move) ?

2.)

Why isn't crashing considered as a loss for that program that crashes ?


3.)

If "weired caracters" cause your program to crash, your autoplayer
implementation is not very "clean".

4.)

If you are afraid of another program detect who it is playing (now this is the
first real interesting point), make sure your program does _not_ move instantly
when in book , or make it (randomly) leave book earlier, or make it think about
every move and just add the book evaluation from first move on ...



I am 90% sure that you can create an autoplayer implementation in your program
that does not allow the other program to cheat. Testers can still cheat though,
of course.

Regards,
