Re: [pbmserv-dev] Re: [pbmserv] Robots scoring

And the correct answer is... 13!

As soon as a "Last stand" command is encountered in the move queue then robot pts are fixed for the remainder of the level. In other words, "Last stand" is treated as a single move, not a queue in itself.

There was a bug that failed to score the robot being blasted. Now fixed.

PS. Yes a blow by blow summary would be good, the only problem being that this could produce emails several pages long. I'll look into it when I next have a bit of free time.

Total: 4 + 10 + 6 + 4 == 24 - 10 == 14

change those 4s to 3s and the 4 to a 4.

And I get 14 points, not 11.

Agreed. Perhaps a blow by blow summary (ala zertz) for multiple moves.
