After looking at things some more, I realized that
I had a misunderstanding how much can be done with
a script. I thought you could intercept bot's play
and inject a different play through the script. I
see what you mean now that even though checker and
cube settings are separate for players, you can't
mix and match to have a half human half bot player.

So, the script has to parse the best checker hint
and make the move also as you suggested. I guess
we can continue to work towards a script with that
in mind...?
