My gift to the community – a much better cutechessGUI

[whelanh]

I think the new GUI is really nice and appreciate the effort to provide it to the community. One minor nit/question does not relate to the GUI but to the cutechess-cli binary. If you decide to use it directly (instead of the GUI), you get two warnings which I assume are related to the new abilities of the GUI to save tournaments (and perhaps another feature?). The warnings are:

Code: Select all

Warning: QFSFileEngine::open: No file name specified
Warning: Tournament::saveTournament(): Could not open file for writing:  ""

I wonder if it's possible to update the cutechess-cli --help output to document what is needed to provide the new parameters it's looking for.

If it's not, no worries. The GUI is very nice!

The Dark theme looks fantastic. It is a great new look, very well done.

I'm not using this new version currently because I don't like the Decision Time (DT) in the pgn. Stefan says I can probably replace the cutechess-cli.exe file with the previous version, but I haven't tried that yet. As the saying goes, you can't keep everyone happy all of the time.

Thanks again Stefan for this gift to the community.

Unfortunately, it does not work under Windows 10

Again, I am stuck after stopping then reloading a tournament. The last unfinished game (where the tournament was interrupted) was repeated, which is OK, but then the tournament froze. This was a gauntlet, rounds set to 32, games per encounter set to 1, swap sides set to on, concurrency set to 1.

I would like to edit the tournament file but I don't know which variable to alter so that it continues normally.

It would probably too much to ask, but a streaming function would be the cherish on the cake.

Another problem. The gauntlet seed (there is only one) plays some of games against itself! Concurrency is 2 now.
