I have uploaded my game Chaos. There are a couple of minor issues I would like to repair. If anyone knows how to fix the script let me know. Issue 1: When a...

I see that you have released the basic game to the Zillions site. I hope you were able to get it working to your liking. FWIW I did try making some code...

Yes. I believe that I have simplified the scripts to my satisfaction. I changed the occupation game to be a draw if a player is reduced to one piece (instead...

The extra time needed to think may have more to do with the design of the game than anything else. The decision tree has a huge branching factor. I think I...

This makes sense. The intermediate game (which I will post soon) has an even larger branching tree. This is evident by the fact that you need to let the...
