How_to play multiple games with a GUI

server.py is a piece of code like any other.

    engine = SchnapsenGamePlayEngine()
    with SchnapsenServer() as s:
        bot1 = RandBot(random.Random(12))
        # bot1 = s.make_gui_bot(name="mybot1")
        bot2 = s.make_gui_bot(name="mybot2")
        engine.play_game(bot1, bot2, random.Random(100))

First it creates an engine to play schnapsen. But then, because GUI bots are somewhat special, it creates a server which will manage the GUI bot. Then it creates two bots, a normal one (RandomBot) and a GUIbot. After that it can use these bots to play a game with the engine.

Now, we can look at the code in CLI to play muliple games. For example:

engine = SchnapsenGamePlayEngine()
    bot1 = RandBot(random.Random(12112121))
    bot2 = RandBot(random.Random(464566))
    for i in range(1000):
        winner_id, game_points, score = engine.play_game(bot1, bot2, random.Random(i))
        print(f"Game ended. Winner is {winner_id} with {game_points} points, score {score}")

Here you can see that the bots and engine can be reused multiple times. you can do the same for the server, i.e., make a loop. However, the GUIbot can only be used once, so you have to create it in the loop, instead of before.
