For homework of all things, but its sort of hard to get such an image when people join your games to wreck them.

Human Computer Interaction class, need an example of an issue with an interface so I can explain it, explain why it occurs, and how to fix it.

The engine makes the prediction that all humans will be evenly distributed. Thus, if you make a game with a player limit of 4 and have three people on your team, you can end up with an AI unit in the F8 slot while a human is also in the F8 slot. The game has only reserved the F9 and F10 slots.

Also, this can occur if you change the player limit mid game as the locks are done at start. Of course I don't know if that can be changed mid game anymore. In the past it could by console commands.

You can achieve this on your system, launch multiple sessions of bz2.

Anyone else privy to the age of my system?

Someone really should already have a screenshot of this...

Yes - and if you can get a session up one evening I'm sure most visitors to your minecraft server will be willing to help.

I will be doing that a bit later today then.

And for everyone else's reference I am on a 1 core 2.19 GHz CPU that routinely locks up from Steam pulsing some CPU activity.

OK, something changed because I can;t seem to get it to happen. Maybe I need 5 players on one team to make it occur with F7...
