Matches

[amlwwalker]

Hey again,
Does this code understand the concept of a match - i.e if you are in a match and the score is say 3-2 does it know this? Or is it taking each game as an individual game?

I ask because the JSON format doesn't seem to know about match scores.
Thanks again!

Hi there! In theory, yes, and simply a matter of exposing it in the API. I haven’t done any testing however if it produces sane results :)

oh cool! - because the engine will give different recommended moves based on where you are in a match. I am currently working on getting the XGID code ported to Go so its possible to insert a match from an ID. These include match data so would love to expose it. I have a fork of your work, but could you point me to where I would need to expose it (even if its not tested)?

Sounds cool! These 2 fields (match to & how many points each player have): https://github.com/foochu/bgweb-api/blob/main/internal/gnubg/gnubg.go#L62-L63
