when messages are printed, do we have access to any metadata about the game? stuff like "the piece just lost", "final advantage", etc. |

 Harold OS Skill level: 1976 Messages: (ignore anything needing information that isn't accessible) a) Welcome message: - "Welcome to Harold OS! Move any piece to continue." - "ВНИМАНИЕ: Не удалось запустить режим гроссмейстера." CAUTION: Could not start grandmaster mode. - "Shall we play a game?" - (if you implement ASCII mode--see bottom) "Starting in terminal mode..." b) when they take your piece: - "Superiority metric incremented." - "Determining point differential..." - "CAUTION: Could not deploy consolation message." c) when they lose a piece: - "Initializing anti-cheat scan..." - "WARNING: Could not learn from mistake." - "CAUTION: Pointer to {lost piece} is null." d) when they win: - "I'm afraid I couldn't let you do that." - "Awaiting congratulatory message..." - "Only three more wins and they'll give me a robot body!" - "END OF LINE." - "Don't feel bad. No human could ever compete with 8 kilobytes of RAM." e) when they lose: - "Oh well. How about a nice game of thermonuclear war?" - "It's ok, I'm just a guy dressed as a chess computer anyway." - "Daisy, daisy..." - "What did you say your clock rate was?" - (if you implement the Konami code--see bottom) "Scanning database for Konami code..." f) when they tie: - "Interesting. The only winning move was not to play." - "I knew we should have played Disc Wars instead." - "A stalemate is very unsettling when operating in binary." if end of game advantage is accessible: - (if Harold OS has advantage) "ERROR: Could not convert advantage to checkmate." - (if Harold OS has large advantage, > +5)) "Critical endgame failure. Running diagnostics..." - (if player has advantage) "Half point recovered." - (if player has large advantage, > +5) "Swindle successful!" Playing style: Ideally, has an opening book with a simple AI so that he plays well until out of book. If that's not feasible, a decent AI that doesn't look more than three moves ahead is also good (though that's stepping on World Without Onions' strategy). FOR BONUS POINTS: - Entering the Konami code gives the player a second king (as close to the king's start square as possible), or alternately removes a random player pawn. Harold OS says "Nobody likes a cheater." - Holding SHIFT when selecting Harold OS switches the game theme to ASCII (using either the standard KQBNR notation or the Unicode chess symbols: ♔♕♖♗♘♙♚♛♜♝♞). |
