Python Tournament Engine

New packages posted! Have a peek at the changelog and grab the newest versions on the first post.

Thanks to joeyjoejoe for the "gauntlet" suggestion: it's been implemented as the "-u" flag in tournament.py, so you can give your bots different IDs and pick which ones should participate in each match.

wasn't this already implemented? i remember using it since tuesday

[nneonneo]

It was: I've tweaked it so the selected bot is always first player (and hence always the same colour) -- this is the same fix that I applied to your version.

But i want lightbot to be blue! not red!
Blue is for good, red is for evil.

Are you trying to make ppl turn evil?

Yes. Yes I am.

(colour definitions live at the top of round.py; you can only use combinations of RED, GREEN and BLUE, since that is all the terminal supports. Go nuts.)

Running "round.exe --help" on Win7 gives me the following error:

Thanks for noticing this. I've uploaded new packages: can you verify that it is fixed?

[m3lawren]

Seems to be working fine now, thanks.

Can somebody tell me what the "nullwins" and "nulllosses" values mean?

[nneonneo]

nulllosses is the number of times that a contestant fails (prints bad output, exits early, spends too long on a move, or some other problem). nullwins is the number of times that a contestant won because the other player failed.
