Hi Chrilly, There is no CGOS protocol, you only need to support GTP and any serious GO program supports that.
GTP is a simple text based protocol that can implemented faster than it takes you to read the spec and make sure you understand it! I would expect you to need 2 hours to implement the basic GTP commands including reading the documentation and finding it. You can use gnugo gtp output for examples, typing to stdin to test what works and what doesn't in conjunction with the documentation. This is really minor work compared to the development time of your 2 versions, an alpha beta version and a UCT version. And not having GTP is like a carpenter leaving most of his tools at home. Once you have it you can play test games on KGS and play on CGOS. - Don On Thu, 2007-07-12 at 08:10 +0200, chrilly wrote: > > Why not put both version on CGOS and find out? > > > > - Don > > We have at the moment 3 GUIs and each of them does not support the > protocoll. > The main GUI is from GoAhead.
