Hi ,
I am trying to write a fibs client ,
I saw the protocol description and i think it is excellent (CLIP etc..).
however, i noticed that when i play a game (right now against bots) sometimes i am represented as the X player (-1) and other times i am represented as a 0 player (1) in the board state format.
my question is:
When i play how do i know if i am represented as X or as 0 ?
Maybe I'm not understanding your question, but if it's your turn to roll the dice and you try making your moves with X and you can't seem to move, then I would guess you are the O.
