It seems unbelievable to me how many bugs I introduced while converting
my "fooling around with Go concepts" code to GTP and towards the refbot
spec. It is not that GTP or refbot are themselves problematic, it is that I had
lots of assumptions built in that needed revision - leaving GTP and refbot
spec to the end was a bad idea, as others have pointed out before (my
favourite language provides implementations with read-eval-print loops,
so I didn't need GTP early on..).
To save future bot authors from this, I suggest to revise the refbot spec to
emphasize a "GTP early" approach, and to make the nature of AMAF
statistics slightly more explicit (see attachment).
Btw, wasn't there talk of putting the spec on a web page somewhere
(so we can more easily refer others to it), not to mention test harness
(gogui-twogtp serves well, though) and links to latest versions of
available rebot implementations?-)
Thanks to all those who are making Go programming easier and fun,
be it via papers, postings, services, specs, or tools!
Claus
PS. I also attach two examples of JrefBot 081016-2022 violating
superko (it is nice that not all the issues are in my own code!-)
