Edit: Try this.
Stacking now works as intended, thanks a lot!

Is there a way to "flip" all pieces to the color of Mover, each time a placement is made so that the multi-color stacks turn into uni-color stacks?
By the way Michael thank you for making it this far, it is really nice to be able to play against the computer now !

I can’t figure out how to iterate over the pieces in a stack. I tried treating the site as a container in (forEach Piece container:…) but it didn’t work.
RE: number of friendly pieces in line of sight - MikeZapawa - 09-29-2020
Did anyone try to formally define each height of a stack as a separate piece? This would significantly lengthen the code, but would allow you to bypass this problem & include some nicer graphics.

By the way: Will you add the last features, or should I do it? I wouldn’t mind, I just don’t want to end up where we both do it or no one does it.

I hope we can gradually work together on it and communicate here or elsewhere about it to ensure it gets finalized.
There is something really weird with the AI - it is super weak and in fact refuses to make captures until it's forced to.
I don't know if this is just because Tumbleweed is difficult for AI, or if there is something about the workaround that feeds info to the AI weirdly.

I like to think Tumbleweed is profound, but definitely not on a hexhex5 and not to the point where a semi-competent AI should miss obvious tactical principles. The AI has very low number of iterations. If I were to guess, I'd say it's probably checking the legality of a move is a bit bothersome, so this is probably not something that can be easily circumvented.
RE: number of friendly pieces in line of sight - AlekErickson - 09-30-2020
I added in some of the features and fixed the graphics kind of.
We have a kind of swap rule, the neutral 2 stack for any board size, scalable board size, only showing the top of a stack with a number for stack count, and colors.
I put the code below but also attach the .lud
(define "FriendlyInSight"
(count Pieces Mover in:(sites LineOfSight at:(last From)))
)
(define "PlayableSites"
(forEach
(sites Board)
if:(>
(count Pieces Mover in:(sites LineOfSight at:(site)))
(size Stack at:(site))
)
)
)
(game "Tumbleweed"
(players 2)
(equipment
{
(board (hex <Board>))
(piece "Disc" Each)
(piece "Disc" Neutral)
}
)
(rules
(meta (swap))
(start
{
(place Random {"Disc1" "Disc2"})
(place Stack "Disc0" (centrePoint) count:2)
}
)
(play
(move Select (from "PlayableSites")
(then
(add (to (last From)) count:(- "FriendlyInSight" ((size Stack at:(last From)))) stack:true)
)
)
)
(end
(if
(no Moves Next)
(byScore
{
(score P1 (count sites in:(sites Occupied by:P1)))
(score P2 (count sites in:(sites Occupied by:P2)))
}
)
)
)
)
)

RE: number of friendly pieces in line of sight - Michael - 09-30-2020
Added in the two-stone pie. I couldn't get the meta-rule to work, so after P1 has placed two stones P2 clicks on the stone of the color he wants to own. Red moves first. Is this correct?
I also added running scores in phase 2, but commented it out because I didn't know if we wanted that.

Yes, it works for me. So passing is the only thing left.
