I think I am going to to use a simple, single command format for giving the engine information about the game and players.
It will be: cgos-gameinfo gameID whitePlayer blackPlayer This keeps it simple, there is only one GTP command to implement and no sub-commands to parse separately. Of course it's an optional command and will not get sent if your engine doesn't implement the command. Here is an example from CGOS: cgos-gameinfo 19040 gnugo_3.7.9(1755) FatMan(1800) I don't see a need to identify which player is YOUR bot. If you need to know, you can tell when you recieve the first "genmove b" or "genmove w" command. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
