Hey all,
Thank you very much for implementing Geister in Ludii. I will very likely use this implementation in the future for my research.
However I noticed two issues with the game.
The starting placement of the ghosts is not restricted correctly.
The pawns should only be able to be placed in the first two lines on a player's side of the board whereas now they can be placed on the first three.
I tested a bit by editing the .lud file and think I found the mistake.
Lines 11 and 12 should read:
(regions "HomeP1" P1 (difference (expand (sites Bottom) steps:1) (union (sites Side E) (sites Side W))))
(regions "HomeP2" P2 (difference (expand (sites Top) steps:1) (union (sites Side E) (sites Side W))))
Tested it and it seems to work.
Secondly, the game does not give any indication of the color of the captured pieces. Once a player captures a piece, that piece's color should be revealed. This however goes over my ability to test as of yet sadly.
Essentially, the captured pieces should be placed in their revealed state on the side of the board.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Best,
L
