Title: Bot got frozen on Lurker
Post by: zjpj on 06 August 2017, 12:45:40 PM
Bot played a Lurker.  I guess the bot couldn't figure out whether to trash or take from the trash.  I sat for a while and then resigned.  Thanks in advance.

Yes, Lurker is known to 'freeze' the Bot under certain circumstances, see e.g. this (http://forum.shuffleit.nl/index.php?topic=646.msg1513#msg1513).

Can you remember how the Bot got the Lurker? In previous cases it often seemed that the Bot didn't buy the Lurker but got it due to Swindler or Masquerade.

Doesn't seem hard to write a couple of lines of code that would have the AI always trash the highest-cost Action it can find in the supply if it ends up playing the card. At least the game doesn't hang in this case.

Every software developer had this thought about someone else's software, but found it was obviously 'not that easy' when someone else had this thought about their software ;-)

I came here to post this same bug.

The bot gained Lurker from Jester.
