Re: [Bug-gnubg] How badly do we need something like the old Dueller ?

[Massimiliano Maini]

Hi Frank/Tony,

if we were to redo the whole thing from scratch, wouldn't make more sense to
consider the bots just as evaluation engines and let the Dueller
handle the match ?

I mean:

- Dueller initializes the two bots: connection, play level,
match/session rules (crawford,
met, jacoby, beaver etc).

- Dueller sends each decision (move or cube decision) to the bot,
getting the answer. It will
need to send the board, match score (for match play) and roll (for
checker play).

So the dueller code could be slightly more involved (keep track of the
match/session,
generate dice, etc), but the interface with the bots would be much simpler.

MaX.
