Hi Jeff,
In solitair games 3-times-repetition should not be checked by the system.
These checks sometimes stop a game when not appropriate.
I know that the system does not do that for games with one player only.
The system might have a reasonable default,
but in all cases of a one-player game with a
?Random player this default is not appropriate
and creates problems.
When a random player is used in a solitaire game
(for randomizing etc), the system obviously treats it as a multi-player game and checks for 3-time-repetitions.
I would suggest a new option command to stop these checks in solitair games:
(option "3-times-repetition checked" false).
Maybe you even know a better solution to this problem, but something should be done about it.
Cheers, Karl |

Oops, scratch that.
It seems that I had an older version of Zillions active which caused this problem.
I find it not obvious to which Zillions version
the Windows system defaults when several are stored in different directories.
I assumed that once I run a Zillions.exe program
by clicking on it,
then the system would always use this one.
But this is obviously wrong.
Cheers, Karl |
