Default Re: Problem Saving Games

Even though I "grew up" in DOS Im afraid that my answers now tend to be Linux.

Game choice could be doing a directory view by access date and select the last one?

There are ways to get the turn number. One way is if you have it set to do scores.html on each turn then the turn number is in there. Another way is to run dom3 with a --verify switch on the game and the .chk files it creates has the turn in it.

I wonder if it would prove useful to have a preexec and post exec display the environmental variables? Or for windows probably have it save them to a txt file for viewing. Maybe Dom3 sets variables that get passed?
