There is no reason for this arbitrary, unnecessary limitation. Bot can wait to roll and/or move until it's told to do so (i.e. "play" command). If the user wants it to play automatically, he can just select the auto-roll and auto-play setting. Simple logic and clean implementation...
After looking at things some more, I realized that I had a misunderstanding how much can be done with a script. I thought you could intercept bot's play and inject a different play through the script. I see what you mean now that even though checker and cube settings are separate for players, you can't mix and match to have a half human half bot player. So, the script has to parse the best checker hint and make the move also as you suggested. I guess we can continue to work towards a script with that in mind...? MK
