Bug ID: 448081
Summary: Game "Golf" is generating significant numbers of
unwinnable games according to the solver
Product: kpat
Version: 21.08.1
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Whilst playing the “Golf” game with the solver operational, it becomes apparent
that roughly only one game in every 10 or so is actually winnable. I know the
solver takes the fun out of the game by telling you before you start whether
you can win or not, but the ratio of games you can win, to those you can't,
seems incredibly low. Could this be a bug with generating a random game, or is
this low ratio of winnable games intentional?
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kpat
2. Select “Golf”
3. Activate the solver
4. Hit “New Deal”
5. Observe the number of “This game cannot be won” versus “This game is
winnable”.
OBSERVED RESULT
Significant amount of unwinnable games generated.
EXPECTED RESULT
A better ratio of winnable to unwinnable games.
