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.
