Hi - Can somebody help; I have written a game but for some reason the computer opponent always passes. Even though the (option "pass turn" false) is set. Does anybody know how to solve this?? |

There must be an extra 'add' in the code somewhere, that is, an add without a parameter. This sometimes happens in loops, when an unnecessary 'add' is added at the end.

Thanks for the tip is ther an easy way to spot this. I have tried removing several "add" commands but get the same problem. |

You could try to figure out a different code logic. That's what I always do when I run into problems. After a while I give up and try another solution. But you should be able to spot the extra add by investigating the code. I can't see another reason why Zillions would pass a move.

If there is a bug in your move generation code such that no legal moves can be produced, then I believe that by default the computer will choose to pass.

Ok I will try again; but I don't think it's the legal moves problem. The computer is sometimes passing on it's first move |

*shrug* Could be that moving first is a disadvantage. Since it can make a null move, it takes that instead. |

In the end it was too many "add" commands. Difficult to spot but solved the problem - Thanks |
