I think it is not ready to play games at all.
IIRC I compiled rev 87 and 108, but even until now (just rev 110)
it still does not even recognize time commands.

There were more things I don't remember now, but I discarded it
as it has no release version code too.

Out of curiosity I compiled current rev 110.

I think you better delete this engine from your chronology.

I think you better delete this engine from your chronology. :lol:

It never was in...

May be you missed that I replied to Mateo (tcusr)?
I explained to him why it is not in the chronology.

[Damir]

But you also wrote that you compiled it and tried it anyway... I suppose by know you have already deleted it from your comp.

I am waiting for this:
https://github.com/upsidedown8/avocado

Ofc I have already compiled a dev version for me.
I like avocados :)

a3 is a solid choice. followed by a stunning variation of the hippopotamus defence, i might add.

jokes apart, i did not try it the engine because i don't have the stuff needed to compile rust :/
