[Bug 164684] Re: tali computer players cheat
I think the difficulty setting determines how wisely the computer players make use of their scores. For example if you throw five sixes do you record it as a chance, a yahtzee, a three of a kind, a four of a kind, a full house or as sixes above the line? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164684 Title: tali computer players cheat To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-games/+bug/164684/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 164684] Re: tali computer players cheat
Hello out there, I hope someone eventually reads this and can answer my question. Concerning the supposed cheating of the computer players... they are not cheating, it's just that the rules of the game's Gnome version allow for multiple yahtzees (5 of a kind). I also manage to score multiple yahtzees on a regular basis, sometimes as many as 4 in one game. But what is a source of concern is the fact that the game has difficulty settings. I cannot understand why a game that is supposed to rely on chance has difficulty settings. It can only mean that the Gnome version of the game does NOT rely on chance. Can anyone explain to me what is going on in the game?

[Bug 164684] Re: tali computer players cheat
I also want to know why you can't have multiple yahtzees in the Colors version of the game. -- tali computer players cheat https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164684 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 164684] Re: tali computer players cheat
I agree that something is fishy. The Wilbur character just scored 100 points on the 5-of-a-kind slot three games in a row. The odds of that being legitimate are... about 0.006 %. I'm not a programmer, but that seems like a bug to me. ** Attachment added: tali_wilber_bug.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18829179/tali_wilber_bug.png -- tali computer players cheat https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164684 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 164684] Re: tali computer players cheat
Of course it's not a cheat, since Human player can too score multiple yahtzee or 5 of a Kind combos. Still, some cheating is going on, since CPU get 5 of a Kind more too often the Human. I have played Tali for 2hr, trying to get only 5 of a Kind combo, still CPU got avg. 2 combo per game = 2/5 (5 cpu players), and me - avg.1 combo per 9-10 games = 1/10. So in average cpu get 5 of a Kind combo 4x more often then me (w/o trying to get only it). Anyone looked through the code about that? :) -- tali computer players cheat https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164684 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 164684] Re: tali computer players cheat
There is no cheat: It is all in this game: multiple times yahtzee !! Unfortunately in the color Tali there is once the score permitted, see my bug remark of today.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read How to report bugs effectively http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. ** Changed in: gnome-games (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) Status: New = Incomplete -- tali computer players cheat https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164684 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 164684] Re: tali computer players cheat
ok, so here's a more sophisticated bug report for those who missed
informations in the first one..
how to reproduce the problem efficiently: locate function
int RollDie(void)
in file
gtali/yahtzee.c
modify it to return '1' instead of random numbers 1..6 (aka both player and
computer will roll nothing but '1's)
int RollDie (void) {
// return ((rand () % 6) + 1);
return 1;
}
Compile/run and see the results. For the screenshot in the attachment I
played 5 rounds (of course rolling '1's only..). The computer players
cheated (as described in my original posting) and scored 5 times 50
points (=250) for '5 of a kind [50]' each - disrespecting the rules:
You can only use each combination once[..] (from:
gtali/help/C/gtali.xml aka 'help')
As described in my original posting this also happens in 'real play'
when the computer players roll '5 of a kind' more than once in a game.
By the way: The player cannot re-use the same combination/cheat
(conforming to the rules), only the computer players do.
Have fun hunting down the bug.
