Bug ID: 424261
Summary: Golf reports inconsistent solver hints
Product: kpat
Version: 20.04
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: solver
Assignee: co...@kde.org
Reporter: maciej.stancze...@gmail.com
CC: kde-games-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Golf will sometimes switch from "This game cannot be won" or "This game is no
longer winnable" to "This game is lost". This can be annoying because the
latter hint is shown even if solver is disabled in the menu. The behavior is
different with standard solver and with Black Hole solver.
When using Black Hole Solver, the game will at some point switch from "This
game cannot be won" to "This game is lost" hint, even if there are still cards
in the deck (or "talon" in BH terminology). This can result in the hint being
shown in the middle of the game even with solver disabled.
When compiled without BH_SOLVER the behavior is better, although still not
completely consistent:
* An unwinnable game will produce "This game cannot be won" for the entire
game. With solver disabled this will result in no message shown at any point in
time.
* A winnable game that is purposely lost will first show "This game is
winnable", then "This game is no longer winnable", and only after dealing all
cards from the deck will it change to "This game is lost". With solver disabled
only the last message appears at the end.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a winnable/unwinnable game of Golf
2. Set Enable Solver to OFF in the menu
3. Play the game and purposely lose it
OBSERVED RESULT
1. Winnable game without BH solver: message "This game is lost" appears after
dealing all cards from the deck.
2. Unwinnable game without BH solver: no solver hints appear.
3. Any game with BH solver: message "This game is lost" appears at a seemingly
random place in the middle of the game.
EXPECTED RESULT
Without BH solver: either the message "This game is lost" appears always when
all cards are dealt from the deck (and the game cannot be won at that point),
or the message doesn't appear at all when solver is disabled.
With BH solver: the behavior should be the same as with standard solver. Most
importantly, "This game is lost" should not appear in the middle of a game.
