Some of it is unbelievably poor.
If i may say : don't be afraid. My proposed experimental patch falls in this category (http://trac.gnugo.org/gnugo/ticket/104). It is my very first C code, only cut and paste code in gnugo, and put ugly globals vars to access some data (=very bad design), with some known bugs ... The only clean things in my code are: - indentation is 8 chars (i know it is a bad troll ;-) - i put comments everywhere, to avoid being lost. - now it is only 50% slower than gnugo, just by avoiding doing twice "examine_position", whereas the first version was 100% slower! I read tonight your description of SlugGo on senseis.net, and discovered that my patch is based on the same go proverb : opponent good move is (often) my good move. So i m very curious too see how SlugGo is, and hope to learn a lot from it.
