Hi everybody, Explorer 2.10 is in beta2 phase now. I added support for completely blind games (of the kind Marathon was and Thermopylae is going to be). Also added was the possibility to ignore any, both, or none of the winning criteria (i.e., home world dominance and production dominance). This caused incremental game database format changes, so that the format specification was updated accordingly in the Explorer discussion Files area. There's some polishing of the code to be done yet, so that I'd suggest to wait until 2.10 is released officially before trying it for real games. Testing this stuff is OK. Note that upon creating a blind game you'll have to set the player names to some scrambled values in the EditDB utility. Now all are called Player_00 for simplicity, which of course is bad for blind mailer, encounter reporting, etc. The details of the care and feeding of the new features are in the recently updated Judge manual at my Explorer site, http://home.foni.net/~supalov/explorer/judge , in the sections devoted to the game creation and editing. Best regards. Alexander |
