Creating games on boards with many positions often
causes Zillions to refuse running whilst issuing the infamous message:
"Too many moves generated"
To overcome this obstacle it sometimes helps
to split the necessary processing into a standard
move by the player plus a few additional moves
by an invisible player with name "?...", (a so-called random player, but this "random" player is not used not for any random activities here).
An example is my new game "Decomino", out next week, where I had to split each move into seven moves.
(see also my games Fivedice, Roulette, Scribble etc were s similar trick is used for math calculations rather than to fight the above mentionend error message.)
Happy programming, Karl |
