KGS does not allow client development.  The protocol is proprietary.  KGS
already has a fine, working web client, so there is no need for another one.

Subject: Re: [Computer-go] Develop a client for KGS?

 

I thought KGS had their own proprietary protocol?

 

GTP is the protocol for communicating with a Go engine,  but not KGS as far
as I know.   KGS supports many features so if they used that protocol it
would have to be significantly extended.

Hi Henry,

you are probably interested in reading about the GTP.
It is the protocol used to connect to KGS and it is well documented here:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gunnar/gtp/

A lot of work already done with it can freely be downloaded and viewed

Good luck with programming the client!
