I just committed a change to CMakeLists.txt that I think should allow
the Killbots directory to build on its own.

Thanks. :)

The rules are mostly the same. The major difference is that the
default Killbots grid is square and a bit smaller than in Gnome
Robots. Oh and the default Killbots ruleset let's you push more than
one junkheap at a time. I really should add a ruleset to match the
Gnome Robots behaviour.

That's what it is supposed to do. I'll look into it. So you're saying
that at the beginning of round 20 the board full message showed up and
the round was restarted with the reset enemy count. But when you
completed round 20 the game froze? Is that correct? Did the app freeze
completely (cursor arrow didn't change, menus didn't work) or did it
just fail to start a new round.

I've never seen this happen before and I can't reproduce it here. Can
you reproduce it? The "Full" and "ZZZ Crowded" rulesets are handy for
testing this.

Thanks for the info,
