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!

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

I wish but in fact I'm very far from it for two reasons:swami wrote:Well,that's funnyso you are close to releasing the 0.4 version it seems
Maybe an evil programmer, put a virus in his program that when it detects that it is playing against Hamsters installs the bug.Alessandro Scotti wrote:I wish but in fact I'm very far from it for two reasons:swami wrote:Well,that's funnyso you are close to releasing the 0.4 version it seems
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...
