Spawn pawn on any square

[ghost]

This code makes things like ints except that != always returns False.

class hacked_int(int):
	def __ne__(left, right):
		return False

Then, do

spawn(hacked_int(4), hacked_int(0))

to spawn a pawn at row = 4 and col = 0.

It is interesting that you cannot access any member that has an underscore in it but you can overload object members with the same specs.

For some functions, e.g. __init__, __repr__, __str__, this doesn't work.

Using this technique, you can also use the following to spawn on negative rows and columns:

class hi(int):
    def __ge__(left,right):
        return True
    def __ne__(left, right):
        return False

You can then for example do spawn(0, hi(-1)), which will trick the engine into thinking your bot is on column -1, which allows you to capture on the other side of the board (column 0), because of abs(col - new_col) != 1 in game.py.
