Automated games

[Puke]

someone did an AI tourney a while back.

you can run an AI only game (if you cant create a game with all AI players, then you can turn a human player over to the computer after the game starts). You can disable all Messages in your options menu, so you can just sleep on the F12 key for a while and let the turns fly.

You can also run the game from the command line (which is basically how the PBW server works) so you can make a little batch file or script to process the turns.

finally, when you first create the game, you can configure it to create a backup save file after every 1 or 5 or 10 turns or something like that. that way, you can run 300 turns, and then end up with 60 files or so to evaluate how the AI was performing.
