I have very limited knowledge in computer science, but what amazes me is how the set of instructions given by this Play-Test Applet are simple.

When I compare what I get for my variants with what I had coded before, it is unbelievable.

At this point I wonder why all these boxes Pre-Move 1 and 2, Post-Move 1 and 2, Post-Game 1 and 2, are necessary when the Play-Test gives 0 or 1 sentence to be copied here. And, it is always the same sentences that I get for all my variants!

I guess that these boxes are to described some particular cases that I have not met yet.
