Competition 125

[Nick]

Competition 125 is now available from the competition page; it is a Sangband Half-Orc.

For Mac players, you should be able to get it running on OSX (I did):

1. Install Xcode if you haven't already;
2. Use the script on this page to install SDL if you haven't already;
3. In a terminal, make a sangband dirctory and unzip the source into it;
4. make -f Makefile.sdl in the src directory;
5. Copy the savefile into the sangband/lib/save directory (probably as 500.Bob).

This will put the program in the sangband directory; you can run it from the command line or double-click it in Finder.

Note that comp 124 still has a few hours to run.

One thing with sang 1.0.2 i noticed a while back a fighters skill exploit, with attacking monsters with fighter abilities 2 squares away, you basicaly get a free move and the monster stands there until death. Has this bug been fixed? Could make this competition unfair?

Is the bug that the skill uses no energy? Should be easy enough to fix.

I love Sang comps because people can choose any 'class' to play. Looking forward to this one.

Yeah thats the bug, think was fixed in development already, but dont know if its present for comp

I'm pretty sure this bug still exists in the currently released version of Sang, though it is fixed in the source code.

Maybe make a rule of unarmed combat only in this comp, as AFAIK lunge only works with weapons.

seems like the competition ladder isnt sorting correctly :-(

I guess its ok now. for a while it had me in an undeserved 1st

[Nick]

Yep, pav has fixed.
