Here are the steps: -------------------
1. Get TCL. There are many "flavors" with GUI, debugger etc. The simplest, when you just need to run a Tk application is something like: http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/tclkit-win32.upx.exe This .exe is all you need, about 1M and without any annoyances, installation, registry etc. For simplicity: Rename tclkit-win32.upx.exe as tcl.exe 2. Get the .tcl client from CGOS. http://cgos.boardspace.net/public/cgos3.zip 3. Modify the .tcl script to use the 19x19 server # ... set server cgos.boardspace.net set server cgos.lri.fr # ... set port 6867 set port 6919 No other modification is necessary. 4. Create an account in CGOS. I remember having read that when you use one for the first time, any name and password are valid and then, you have to use the same password to continue using it. So, for testing purposes, I use the account: name: testingTCL pass: password 5. Using gnugo for the sake of simplicity (just for the test), gnugo37 --mode gtp --chinese-rules --capture-all-dead should be a valid setting to play on CGOS. Remember that you will loose lots of won games if your program does not capture all the opponent's dead stones. Chinese rules is mandatory as well. 6. Create a .bat file with: tcl cgos3.tcl testingTCL password "E:\\GO\\PROGRAMS\\GnuGo\\gnugo37 --mode gtp --chinese-rules --capture-all-dead" 7. Run the .bat file wait for the next round. Your program should be playing. 8. To supervise your program: Download cgosview.exe from http://cgos.boardspace.net/public/cgosview-windows.zip You don't need to specify the arguments for the 19x19 server, that is the default so for 19x19. Just run: cgosview.exe Jacques. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
