[gnugo-devel] bug?

[Paul Miller]

I'm happilly using gnugo 3.2 to build an adorable little web
interface.  It's at http://www.voltar.org/gnugo .

I ran into a problem where if I generate a game thusly:

sh$ alias gtest='gnugo --color white --handicap 2 --boardsize 9 --mode ascii'
sh$ echo save filename.sgf | gtest


Mr. bug shows up here:

sh$ echo e5\;save filename.sgf | gtest -l filename.sgf


Apparently gnugo doesn't want to load those black handicap
peices.  The experiment runs fine in reverse however.


sh$ alias gtest='gnugo --color black --handicap 2 --boardsize 9 --mode ascii'
sh$ echo save filename.sgf | gtest
sh$ echo e5\;save filename.sgf | gtest -l filename.sgf


I'm actually using the ascii output to draw my goban, so ...
this bug turned out to be a little frustraiting.  I'm likely
to try to fix it on my own, there may be too much code there
for me to find a good starting point.
