Bug in the Sparrow bot

Post by BDF » Wed Apr 18, 2007 8:21 am

I dont use that bot often, but 2 times out of the 5 i did so far he froze my computer. I know its sparrow, cos it was always his turn to make a move when my PC froze. It was on the USA map. Anyone else noticed?

I can't say that I have noticed, but if you can post your log of the game, it might have a stack trace so that we can see what went wrong. It would be located in /support/log.txt

ok, i didn't know there was a log and that sort of stuff. Ive found it, but ive played other games since that one, and maybe the latest game overote the previous log. When Sparrow screws up again i will post it.

There are known bugs with sparrow on large maps.

Use him only on classic-sized maps. Even there he will sometimes cause Lux to crash or freeze.

Sadly, the author of Sparrow (Jaybird) has stopped supporting him. That bot had potential, and is superior to Reaper in low income games (5-5-5 progression).
