Hello Swami,
if there's room for another beta you can download one from here:

It's basically just Hamsters 0.3 plus some bug fixes, but I need those to make use of any data that comes out of your tournament so it will be great if you could replace 0.3 with this version!

Ha Ha Ha Now I have it too!

Poor Alessandro,You should have been aware of this and should have considered sending it to me by email

I must warn you that the version you have will try to detect it's being used by a blogging tournament director rather than, say, an evil programmer. However, as long as you don't belong to the latter category, no disk formatting will occur.

Nyahahhaha!

Well,that's funny so you are close to releasing the 0.4 version it seems

I wish but in fact I'm very far from it for two reasons:
1) version 0.4 should be focused on endgame play and I only managed to add the most basic endings so far;
2) there is a ugly bug hiding somewhere that I have observed once but were not able to reproduce after hundreds of games...

Maybe an evil programmer, put a virus in his program that when it detects that it is playing against Hamsters installs the bug.

If I ever found out who would do such a thing I would have Romi give that person a good thrashing!

After all Romi is the biggest Hamsters supporter there is. She even supplies health care for them!
