Valid bot fails input test

For the input test your bot gets input up to the request of the first action. If it doesn't respond there the bot will be faulty in all cases. We don't want to waste precious resources on bots that do nothing at all, so that's why we have the input test.

As for why it doesn't respond. There must be some bug in your bot, hopefully you'll be able to find it :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the test input asks for a move multiple times without making an opponent's move.

Bot has output, creating full testgame...

It would be impossible to move in the center, have an opponent move, and then move in the center board. But, my bot did so, it moved at 4, 4 and then at 5, 3, meaning there was no opponent's move. My v17 bot required an opponent's move to function, and so it failed the input test. So, the bot is functional in real matches, but not in the input test.

Here is the input test, this might help

action move 10000

If that's the case, I wonder why it always prints several moves when there's only one move prompt. Anyway I changed it to not require an opponent's move in quite the same way, so it passes the input test now. Thanks for your help though.
