Very cool! What I would like: - a networked protocol so that you can also run them from your own computer - with clients that talk the usual gtp protocol - the program interfacing between the server and the client-engine in something like c/c++/python and open source so that one can more easi

I'm not convinced about that concept, tbh. People put a lot of work to optimize their bots, include GPU usage and figure out, how to use Pondering the best way. And then you want those programmers to remove those features and put work into making their bots run on your system, just to "level the pl

Thanks everyone for all the feedback! Sorry I hijacked the thread! There are definitely some big pros and cons to a hosted, containerized environment for Go bots. I've replied to some comments below: Won’t hosting limit your usability? With cgos I can build and immediately > test on cgos on my d

I'll try and get CGOS back online before this weekend. Technically it should be running now, but there were several issues. In order to use it now you take the cgos client for your architecture and you have to specify cgos.computergo.org manually since the binaries are hardcoded to the old boa

I think hosted is a bad idea - anyone developing a bot has a computer and a development environment, and it may not be linux, and the extra step of updating and installing on the host is just sand in the gears. And of course, hosting is not free. ___ Co

Hi, I have the feeling that cgos won't come back in even the distant future so I was wondering if there are any alternatives? E.g. a server that constantly lets go engines play against each other and then determines an elo rating for them. Folkert van Heusden -- Afraid of irssi? Scared of bitc
