Dead end in Awele. #34

Consider the game of Awele I (Viswanathan Raman) had played against bajvik62 on Sunday, April 1, 2018. https://jocly.com/jocly/plazza/index.html#/live/aba1080d7033c0de6c506f73d9e7c7b4

At the end of the game, I had reached a position where every played move (it says) is invalid (because if all of the six opponent's holes are empty, I must play a move that must fill at least one of the opponent's holes with at least one seed. In this case it is impossible to make such a move). I intentionally only brought the game into such a position to see what types of things happen over there by, and the only two ways to proceed with such a position are by resigning or by running out of time.

I suggest to fix the game of Awele in Jocly such that the game does not allow a player to reach such a forced position in the penultimate move by itself (or a sequence of forced moves leading to it by itself).
