The CGOS protocol is pretty easy to decode from the cgos client script which is written in TCL. Even if you don't know tcl you can learn the protocol easily from the script. However, there is no need to know the CGOS protocol if your engine speaks GTP. GTP is designed to be a universal protocol for GO engines - if your engine knows GTP it should be able to use all kinds of tool including GOGUI, a nice user interface for GO programs. The cgos client program speaks to the server in it's language and to your program using GTP. See how simple life can be? The CGOS protocol is about to change just slightly as I will be soon upgrading the server, but an updated client will be provided so that will require no change on your part. (And the old CGOS prototol will still work but with some restrictions.) - Don > > > --- On Wed, 7/15/09, Hellwig Geisse <hellwig.gei...@mni.fh-giessen.de> > wrote: > > > From: Hellwig Geisse <hellwig.gei...@mni.fh-giessen.de> > > Subject: Re: [computer-go] gtp which version to implement? > > To: "computer-go" <computer-go@computer-go.org> > > Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 2:44 AM > > On Wed, 2009-07-15 at 11:24 +0200, > > Urban Hafner wrote: > > > Carter Cheng wrote: > > > > Thanks everyone for the help thus far.
