Unfortunately, this would require some sort of modification to the source and the savefile in order to track attempts.
      It would require no modification at all, just a tweaking of the rules (and the comp ladder logic). We already operate on the honor system. All that would be required is that each player post every attempt and suffix them sequentially. I wouldn't mind seeing something like this in an occasional competition (I usually post all my attempts anyhow).

        Player turns appears to count actions that use any energy. I wish it simply counted total energy. Just p_ptr->player_turn += p_ptr->energy_use; instead of p_ptr->player_turn++; would make things sensible.

        It might be wise to buy extra ammo and try to avoid picking up what you shot. Every pickup costs you a full extra turn even though it uses 1/10 the energy of a turn. Also, you are charged 1 turn for each shot even when shooting multiple times per turn. There must be a couple more places partial energy use comes in, but that's what comes to mind.

          OK, XP/player turns it is for this comp. Let's see if that seems sensible.

Oh well, I'll try to jump into the next competition.
            I had another unlikely idea about your problem. I have the auto-clear more prompts option set. Your comment suggests maybe you set something so 'm' brings up a list? I've forgotten already if that is standard. Is it possible that the game is repeatedly auto-clearing and resetting the list of spellbooks?

            Unlikely, I admit, but how your problem can be savefile-specific is baffling.

              All I know is if I download a fresh version of 3.1.2 and download the save file and open it and try to cast a spell, it doesn't work.

              I appreciate the troubleshooting, but I'm just gonna wait this comp out and keep playing my other mage

                The ladder is showing game turns rather than player turns. Can that be changed, or will I just have to look at the post to see player turns?

                  Can I participate in this competition with 3.1.2 r1936? I know it isn't the official release, but I had to upgrade for testing an issue on my Mac, and don't want to downgrade...

                    Yeah, that's fine.

                    And I'm emailing pav about the turns.

                      I think it can't be changed. The ranking order uses player turns, though.

                        Is full monster memory given ?

                        I am looking at a Drolem, since I am not sure how quickly Drolems wake up. There seems to be no mention whatsoever on how observant Drolems are.

                        Bug ?

                          Also,

                          it would seem repeating the enchanting of an object is broken.
                          Whereas before you could buy a stack of enchant armor/tohit/todam, enchant an object once and keep pressing n, I have to re-select the object every single time.

                              It is simply the savefile of someone who plays too much. The memory is good, but not perfect. I guess I don't bother to kill many drolems
