For the last few days I've been doodling with a script that provides a graphical interface to gnugo by using its GTP protocol. At the moment the script is *very* basic, in fact the only thing it does is to allow one to click on a coordinate and place a move there OR press the space bar in order to let gnugo generate a move.
However, I feel that this idea has some potential, it could be made to undo or redo moves or load sgf-games. But most importantly: It could load the list of move suggestions from gnugo, do some computations itself in *Python* on that list and then generate a move. So I thought that it would be best to present this script while it is still small and modifications can be done easily. In the end there's possibly a lot of potential and I think I'm going to need some help from people that are enthousiastic about Python or gnugo. What I want to accomplish with this post is to get to know whether it would be a good idea to make it a sourceforge project (it would be even better if some more experienced sourceforger would do it for me :-) or whether I should just go on doodling on this script by myself, gradually adapting it to fit my personal interests and come back to you in a few years with a more complete script. Is there any need for such a beast for *more* people than just me to work on? Here's the proof of concept, just copy it to some dir and run the Python script: http://home.hccnet.nl/a.vredegoor/gnugo/ It needs Python 2.5 which you can get at: http://www.python.org/ Anton -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
