The real cause of being forced to pick up the turn card was the AI, not
the Pass button. Measured over 2000 deals, the computer ordered up on
100% of them and the dealer was dragged into picking up on 97.2% —
bidding never once reached the second round, so a human dealer never got
a say. Average hand scored about 11 against a bid threshold of 9, so
essentially every hand bid.
- Voids no longer count towards a hand unless there is trump left to ruff
with, which was inflating precisely the weak hands that should pass.
- Thresholds recalibrated against the actual score distribution.
- EuchreBiddingRateTest pins the result so this cannot drift back: now
32.8% ordered up in round one, dealer forced to pick up on 12.8%, and
round two reached on 67%.
Finished tricks are now held and swept, for this and any later
trick-taking game:
- The engine kept a trick only until it resolved, so the fourth card was
never visible — it vanished the instant it landed. Completed tricks are
now retained in state until the next card is played.
- The table holds them for a second, names the winner, then slides all
four towards that player's edge and fades them out. The hold scales
with the animation speed setting.
- MatchController gains a general holdBeforeNextMove hook so the AI waits
out the animation rather than playing over it.
