Banksia GUI released

[CornfedForever]

PS:
- "Bugksia" is a nice and clever name, isn't it? I am interested in it and I may use it somewhere. Hope you don't ask me for some fee for it Another good point is that the URL bugksia.com is still available and shorter than the URL I have been using (banksiagui.com) thus I have been considering all factors

Feel free - it is yours to do with as you wish.

Thank you a lot! That is very kind of you!

How about joining our testing group and/or using BSG more to have some real experience and give us some precious feedback?

Thanks, but no. I downloaded multiple versions...the most recent about 6 months or more ago. It's just not for me and I don't really have time to be in a testing group right now.

That is a pity!

If you could help, many people could get benefit since BSG is totally freeware and we are listening to people. You know, even though the last release is buggy, it gave me some big satisfaction since it starts supporting accessibility which was required and it could help people who have problems with visualization. I don’t mind how much effort and time I had and will have to spend for the last release as well as coming ones to find, fix bugs, and continue supporting those people!

BTW, I will take it easy whenever you mention BSG. Won’t ask for more details if you say how buggy it is: You are definitely just joking

See, Pham, you already have plenty of people who use the program far more than I did who are willing to help. They seem to be doing a good job.

...Only little glitches than often I can bypass by myself simply editing the .json , waiting the often very quick fix
I will never return to Fritz with his rudimental tournament management or Arena and I'm very grateful to Pham for this masterpiece.
Actually I'm playing with it more gauntlets of thousands of games. ProteusSF Dev topic on BanksiaGui Forum

Yes, I am quite lucky to have a group of active users, who always support me even though I have continuously added both bugs and crazy things to the program.

Thank all again

Played a 6000 games match and there was only one fail. That's what it says to the left of the progress bar, but all games had a result, so not sure what it means. It took 33 hours and the GUI used 32 minutes (according to Task Manager). That's about 1.5% CPU utilization, in line with cutechess-cli. We'll have to see how it does with concurrency.

That's why it does not even start up here on Windows 7 Pro after the latest update?

Under Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20/22 it does.

I downloaded latest version 0.56d. It took 30 minutes with 100 Mbps connection - long wires to Australia . There really are new functions after my last test - great work! So far I tested only testsuite function. Extra ply function don't work and it took always maximum time to solve. A lot of wasted time.

Thanks for the bug report! I will check that issue.

I didn't change the compiling system thus logically it should run with Win 7 64-bit. It may take a while since I don't have any Win 7 at the moment.
