Got a crash opening games where tile pick was on and first player was a
robot. Cause: non-robot player's tiles were being assigned before the
robot's, and the move stack didn't like the out-of-order assignments.
Now we assign tiles in order as before, but pause each time we find a
non-robot that needs to pick its own.
Next step in converting util_ methods that required blocking: blank tile
assignment. Now post a query and add a method that the client code can
call when the user's decided. Include enough state (col, row, and
playerNum) so that it's probably pretty safe.
treatment of the final 8 bits. I'll need to release a version that
still produces the incorrect hash for compatibility with existing
clients that expect it, but that also looks for the correct hash. When
that's out there I can do a new release that sends the correct hash.
stack, go down the stack looking for a match. If it's found, pop down
to that point then apply the move. This fixes stalls in the test
engine when undo is enabled, and so I assume that undos and turns are
somehow coming in out-of-order. Should be rare that this happens.
-- and to detect when an incoming move doesn't make sense. These
latter changes may not be necessary now that hash code is checked
first thing, but can't hurt, and there will be devices without hash
codes for a while.
to query model for values. Now everybody else queries new model API
rather than client via util_getSquareBonus(), model uses its internal
values if present otherwise falls back to util_getSquareBonus(), and
internalizes the array as part of the game. Now it should be easier
to have different bonus patterns and to have them exchanged as part of
network game init.
clients to append their stream version to their inital connect
message. (The format can't change, so detecting additional length was
the only option. comm.c on existing clients won't allow more than one
connect message per channel, so adding a new to be used in addition
didn't work.) New servers detect this; old will ignore. Track the
version (implicit or not) of all clients, and use the lowest any
supports, so that new server and all new clients will use newer proto.
MAX_COLS was larger than 16. In order that old-style messages on
relay be readable by new-style code on device, modified server.c's
protocol to include stream version. But: unless I come up with a
better way of doing this all devices will have to be upgraded at the
same time: old won't be able to read the new format as it's done here.
