Banksia GUI released

[AlexChess]

You can resize them however you want...

True, but I must do it each time, and I continuosly add, replace, remove engines. If by default is bigger it's easier.

Ciao, Alex

Hi Pham!

Could you please double the default sizes of the "Name" and "Command" columns?
Engines names are becoming every day more complex and we must every time enlarge them to read their full name



Best regards, Alex

Sure, will do. I am annoyed too Just delayed the change since I need to test on small screens first.

Hi Pham!

Seems that the add engine bug (that adds also ghost engines _1 game for each_ workaround: remove all unwanted engines ) in 0.50 win build, wasn't in 0.48 mac build (so maybe also on 0.48 win build, but I don't want to try )

Best regards, Alex

Hi Pham,

Thank you for your hard work on this excellent software

I want to report that there is A BIG bug!!!

I just realized, that Ver0.50 didnt play opening book from pgn file, so it messes up all the test results.

Thank you,

Hi Pham!
Adding ghost engines in a tournament bug tip:
It happens (also on 0.48) after that you have replaced engines.
It adds 1 game for each round (5 rounds = 5 games) for every replaced engine.

Thank Adam for the report.

I can't reproduce the bug. Can you check the opening book and the file "banksiaplaying.json" (fields "startMoves" must have some moves)?

Beware that opening book PGN can be used for tournaments only, not for normal games.

Thank Alex for the report. I have been working on that issue.

I did not try this GUI but I would like to know if there is a simple way to play games with different time controls in this GUI.

For example
I would like to have the possibility to define time control of 1+1 for one engine and fixed depth of 20 plies for a second engine and every gui that I know does not have this option.

The best thing that I found is in arena giving less strength for one engine so if some engine get 10% strength it is going to use only 10% of the time or 10% of the depth in case of fixed depth games but I prefer simply to be able to define different types of conditions for different engines when type A is not dependent on type B.

Yes,

I believe it's called Armageddon, for fixed depth you have to mod the engine config I would think.
