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 :twisted: Ha :twisted: Ha :twisted: Now I have it too! :lol:

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! :twisted:

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. :twisted:

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

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