Would anyone have any major objections to adding a handful of test players to Tiltyard? I have some spare cpu cycles on a dedicated machine, so that won't be too much of an issue.
I guess they're pros and cons to this. Not over thought this, nor really want to debate this endlessly - but looking for ayes or naes.
On the pros side:
I can see it keeping the rating system a little more primed (kind of sucks when you a very good player but everyone is a little better, thus your scores plummet).
It would be a little nicer to new comers when there are only 3-4 players on Tiltyard and 2 of those are sancho and greenshell!
On the cons:
May be frustrating for the top players who want to play each other (but that is more a scheduling issue).
They might just play each other all the time.
In terms of a player, I was thinking about a combo of the SampleMonteCarloGamer and SampleSearchLightGamer player, with a decent propnet. So not MCTS. alternatively could have a random player, but that is only interesting in multiplayer games (which we already do) IMHO.
Also question: can a player, in theory, play more than one game at a time on Tiltyard? in other words does the game server handle it if a player responds to an 'info' message during playing a game with 'available'?
Cheers,
Richard
