CORDIAL MINUET ENSEMBLE

Up front it decides what moves it would make in any given situation so it doesn't have to recalculate each time a move is made. The moves it takes do take into account the red moves of the opponent.

Hmm, rewarding any of the leaderboard items could be problematic:

ELO gained: If this is going to happen I'm just going to start losing a few 1c games... there is no way I will win this from where I am on the board and it would be easy for me to bounce up from a low ELO.

Profit Ratio: Well, this one encourages stopping playing after a big win and is also extremely open to exploitation. If someone was to stop playing after one win they would have an infinite ratio.

Most games played: Well, this one will surely go to someone who has made a bot, so possibly Clock Form, although to make a bot that just plays starts games and then leaves would be very easy and surely win this (as long as it was the only one doing it).

Most Games Won: is interesting but would probably go to a bot as well as there should hopefully be lots of new inexperienced players who will still regularly lose to a bot. Also, if you have two bots playing each other all of the time one always has to win.

Total profit: Obviously gives a massive advantage to those with a big bankroll.

So... I'm thinking just an extended tournament under your current system would be easiest with some extra money added to the prize pool. It is hard to think of anything as cool as the TCD Steal Real Money comp for this game. You could also possibly add a tournament ELO in which everyone starts the same and then give a prize to whoever is on top at the end.

It is nice to take a little extra off Jeopardy Alcohol every time they leaves early. It still doesn't stop them from doing it though.

Well, you are surprisingly good for a beginner, the way you are able to claw back from almost nothing and end up winning.

It was an odd one considering I hadn't lost any money since it last posted me. I'm not sure how that would happen.

JEOPARDY ALCOHOL trumps BIRD GRADUATION for $1.94. JEOPARDY is now at $15.83 profit!

Jere, this didn't happen.
Around this time I actually won a $1 game against someone. I wanted to see who, then this popped up out of nowhere.

Thanks computermouth!

I downloaded the unix source from the link you posted above and ran runToBuild in it and it worked straight away.

Ok, figured out my problem was that I had to mount minGW in msys with:
mount c:/mingw /mingw

g++ is now working.

However, I'm getting some new errors:

I don't imagine I would have to modify the code to get it working, right?

Here is an image of the output:

I think the tournament style as it is is interesting and am not saying that you shouldn't have them. I was just thinking it would be nice also to have tournaments that you win/lose depending on how good you are at the actual game and not the metagame. I also think it would provide more interesting challenges for players and be less about the luck of who you are matched with.
