Haha. I found some time to tweak your code, but I was in such a hurry I posted it to the wrong thread. Here is a link (I’m not at my computer, so I can’t re-upload). I might have time to explain some og the changes later.

Edit: I have attached a cleaner version.

It's nagging me that (move Remove) doesn't have a <from> parameter. And it should have had either a "count:" parameter or a "stack:"-parameter so one could remove more than one piece. If it did, the code would have been very elegant (after phase 1, which is lacking here also):  (move Remove (from "PlayableSites") stack:true (then (add …))) But I had to use (move Select) and (remove).

The good news is that the "count:"-parameter on (add) works when you do it this way. The bad news is that (remove) also lacks a "count:" or "stack:"-parameter. I have tried to simulate removing a stack with (move (from "PlayableSites") (to Off) stack:true (then (add …))) but it is either not possible to move to Off (-1) or it is not possible to move from an empty site. I also can't find a way to iterate over the pieces in a stack, to remove them "one by one" so to speak.

Here is a functional workaround while we are waiting. The difference from using (remove) with count: is only graphical. If I'm not confused..

So is this essentially a workable version of Tumbleweed?

It doesn’t have the correct start-up rules and the game can’t be ended before there are no moves left. Otherwise it’s the same game. It’s just that you don’t replace the entire stack. Instead you add your pieces until it is the right size.

There doesn't seem to be any visible distinction between stack height -- stacks are only visible after captures or recaptures, and each move reads as "add dics". Is it just a problem with presentation?

Do you have Ludii version 1.0.7? It runs fine here.

Running it on 1.0.7, yes. Looks like this:

Captures seem to work as intended, though.

This is how it looks at my end. I'll reupload. Maybe I uploaded the wrong file.

It's the same file, but notice how you NEVER get multi-stacks without reinforcing.

Damn! How could I not have noticed? I can't fix it right now, but i'll try to get back to it later today.

Edit: Try this.
