Yes and No. I happened to say "Simulated", I should have said "Simulated in X11".  Many GTK X11 Apps and Control-Click don't always conform to the Desktop standards of the OS/X environment.

In Gnubg (X11 App) I have always had to use "Option-Click" to get the "Equivalent" right mouse click on the corresponding Win32 Gnubg Application. On my desktop I have to use the normal "Control-Click" to get the context menus (which are are generally associated with right mouse click) as you suggest.

As well, something that hasn't been mentioned is that you may also have to enable "Three button mouse" support in X11 for GnuBG to understand Alt and Option mouse click. When X11 is launched the X11 system menu has a preferences menu Item. Select Input tab, and enable "Three Button Mouse". 

For GnuBG on X11 with MAC OS/X I should say "Enable X11 Three Button Mouse support" and use the "Option Button" to get the equivalent functionality that Right Mouse click gives you under Win32 environments.

X11 "integration" on the MAC desktop is very poor.

Tsk, I hate it when ppl give incorrect answers. Right click on a Mac with a single-button mouse is done by Ctrl-click, /not/ Option-click.

Also, you can plug any old USB mouse into a Mac and it'll see your right-clicks, scroll wheel etc just fine.

On the Mac, right mouse click is simulated by holding the "Option" on a single button mouse while clicking. This should work in GnuBG as well (It does here)

I'm not a Mac user myself, so I do not know. I'm forwarding this to the mailing list. (I guess you forgot to add a cc.)

hello

Can anyone help me with what I suspect is a stupid question.

I'm a new GNU user and use a MAC.

I cannot seem to set up a position. My windows friends say that this is because I do not have a right click mouse....

I'm sure there must be a workround/alternative for mac.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,

Thanks for your effort. The difference in strength between 0-ply and 2-ply is significant, but not so much stronger that it is possible to make a clear statement after 10 games. I suggests you play 100.000 games and then report the result.

I've done such experiments my self,  and I can assure you that 2-ply is stronger than 0-ply. You can take my word for it, or you can extend your experiment. :-)

Thanks anyway!

i made an experiment and let the computer play against computer with gnubg
program, one side played with "ply-0" level and one side played with "ply-2"
level,
guess who kept win again and again about 10 times or more?the side who
played with level "ply-0",
how is that possible?
