Package: gnome-games
Version: 2.1.3-2

Hi,
  I have preferences set as Dark: Human, Light: Level three
and am playing along and after a few moves it stops on Light's move.
The bar at the bottom says 'Light's move'; yet there is no CPU time
being taken by it, and the time at the bottom right has stopped moving.
The menus etc respond.

Game state:

___WWW__
___WW___
__WWW_WB
__WWWWWB
__WBWBWB
__BWBBWB
_BBBBBBB
BBBBBBBB

Date: 14 Apr 2003 20:37:23 +0300

I have today seen this bug (computer's turn, Iagno hangs, doesn't
consume CPU, menus work, new game can be started) three times. I didn't
think to take screenshots, sorry, but I figured it might be good to
report that it happens to other people as well.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I see this problem at least once every time I play. Going back a move
sometimes helps, but sometimes it takes as many as 10 - 15 tries before
it finally kicks in and continues playing. Being that the initial bug
report is over 200 days old now, is there any note on a possible
resolution. Has upstream acknowledged the bug at all?

I located the source for the hang in Iagno when playing on level 2 and
3. Here's the patch to fix the problem.

Subject: gnome-games: Is this problem related to iagno crashing when started in gnome?
Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2003 14:44:08 -0400

Package: gnome-games
Version: 2.2.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #177423


Even with an apparent solution and patch, nothing has been done for
well-nigh a year plus?  C'mon.

I came here to make the same bug report. And I was also wondering if it's
related to iagno crashing when I try to launch it inside gnome. I now
have to launch iagno from the console -- and then halfway thru the game
(find me a computer I can't beat at othello, BTW ;) I get the same freeze,
etc.


I am a firm believer that GNUnix projex should generally be done by
teams...

Seems to be fixed in gnome-games 2.4.1 :

if (tmp_move > best_move && (best_move == -10000 || rand() * 100 > 85))

I'm closing this bug
