Re: Banksia GUI still very buggy
I have been testing BSG on Ubuntu 18.04 for a while, focusing on tournaments + graphs. So far no problem. Thus it is best if you could give me instructions on how to reproduce the bugs. Otherwise, some screenshots of those bugs should be helpful too. Thanks

Could older versions (say, 0.53) run on your computer?
If you could, upgrade your computer OS to the latest one (12.3.1) and try again.

Re: Doubling number of games in my SuperBlitz editing banksiaplaying.jos
"Games per pair" is just a record, using when generating only, not affect to the current number of generated games.
I think the easiest way is to generate a new and similar tournament then merge it to the current one to have double games.
