Competition 130

[Mikko Lehtinen]

Nick,

just "highest score wins" would have worked better in Mist. Score = experience. (Ladder automatically knows the right order.)

The game gives a big score multiplier to winners who dove fast. Min Depth is much more relevant than turn count.

I don't think turn count should be relevant in Mist. A good player knows how long he can linger on a level safely.

So, how do you load one of these from the mac command line? I've extracted them to /lib/save, but everything I've tried has failed to load.

macbook-pro:mist_131 jujuben$ ./mist -mx11 -- -n6 -u<./lib/save/Rinaldo>
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
macbook-pro:mist_131 jujuben$ ./mist -mx11 -- -n6 -u./lib/save/Rinaldo
./mist: Ignoring option: -u./lib/save/Rinaldo
macbook-pro:mist_131 jujuben$ ./mist -mx11 -- -n6 -u ./lib/save/Rinaldo
./mist: Ignoring option: -u
./mist: Ignoring option: ./lib/save/Rinaldo
macbook-pro:mist_131 jujuben$ ./mist -mx11 -- -n6 -u --./lib/save/Rinaldo
./mist: Ignoring option: -u
./mist: Ignoring option: --./lib/save/Rinaldo

The way I got this to work was to rename the files to 501.<name>, put the files in lib/save, and then use the command ./mist -u<name> with no space. So for Rinaldo, rename the file to 501.Rinaldo and use ./mist -uRinaldo to load the game.

Competition 130 is now available from the competition page; it is a Halls of Mist Human Spellsword (actually, a choice of three).

Note that comp 129 still has about a day and a half to run.
