Now has unicode pieces
Now doesn't actually work (although I think it didn't work before either)

[SZM]

Thanks [BG3]

Didn't really succeed

I call it the "Eigenserver"

Start server with `./qchess.py --server`
Connect from clients with `./qchess --server=address`

The code is getting really ugly, but it works

Don't work

Because the SDL_ENABLE_SCREENSAVER flag wasn't working

*touches wood*

How do git work?

I have no idea why this merge is necessary,
Presumably I did something.

Player was getting None as a name string

Probably doesn't work

Changed the Piece and Board classes slightly so that I can make an efficient C++ agent.

I plan to make SilverFish as good as I possibly can.
Rather than writing 6 different mediocre sample agents like I did last year, I will just focus on this one.

Technically I can't enter my own competition, so SilverFish is still just a sample agent.

Anyway it still just defaults to random moves at the moment.

Pretty terrible, introduced weeks ago when trying to improve efficiency.
Also fixed bug with --reveal switch.

Agent Bishop should play better as a result of this (the former not the latter).

Just because it bugged [BOB] that the screen never went to sleep when using qchess_login.sh
Aren't I nice?

- Use regex in ExternalAgent to cope with Fortran agents
- Add "Q" to graphics (although somehow that did get committed?)
- Did something in src/board.py... no idea what

It occasionally gets confused and breaks. Fixing is an excercise for any fools that decide to use FORTRAN.

- Fixed C++ agent (yay)
- Added Java agent (ew)
- Renamed some things (why?)

bug - qchess was allowing illegal moves... not good
documentate - agent_python.html was empty... not good

Thanks to rvvs89 for prettifying agent_python.html

As a result, found an issue where qchess was printing "-1" as the index whenever a King was selected.
I don't know why that didn't break the python agent, but it definitely breaks the C++ agent, so I fixed it.

Got sidetracked writing "swarm" to parallelise rounds.
It's not ready yet, but I wrote run.sh to run a round.
Which should work even if I never finish swarm.
It'll just be ridiculously slow.

Changed structure of agents directory (same as last year).

Minor changes to qchess. Added yet another wrapper class for replaying logs.
FileReplayer replaces the standard python file; if a game is still in progress you can use that.

I noticed the Http log replay was breaking a while ago, but I haven't investigated.

TODO: - Finish swarm
      - Generate pretty html pages from results
        (but hopefully make the script nicer than last years)
      - Handle errors/illegal moves properly. Enforce the timeouts.
      - Include draws/stalemate
      - events? prizes? profit?
      - BUG FIXING
      - Read TODO lists more often, because I usually just write them and then never read them
