Hello, Here goes the answers to your questions.
> Working on a mac, I can't save my games in a readable format. > What's the format of the input (moves, board configurations) ? I suggest you to use a GUI program such as cgoban and GoGui. I use GoGui. The website explains how to hook it up with Go engines, e.g. GNU Go. http://gogui.sourceforge.net/ A brief description how it works. These two programs talk via either GMP (Go Model Protocol) or GTP (Go Text Protocol). GTP is more recent. You don't have to spend much time to study GTP because they are meant to be transparent to a user. A game is saved in several different formats. What GoGui uses is SGF (Smart Game Format) and it saves a file with extension ".sgf". For example, agame.sgf. A SGF file is merely a text file with a set of predetermined formats. > That is, how are the coordinates of each stone coded ? Once you install GoGui, it will become obvious. > Also, I have some prerecorded data of games in .olf format. > Would I be able to read them with GNU Go ? To my knowledge, no. > Finally, in which language is written GNU Go ? C++? The last time I worked with GNU Go, it's written in C. My website contains some information. http://computergo.tkim.org/ It's not well-organized and not updated, but it should include some pointers for you. I have a plan to update the website over the summer, but don't know how my schedule will be like, so let's see what's gonna happen. Good luck!

Being not so familiar with Linux, I'd have some questions regarding GNU Go. Working on a mac, I can't save my games in a readable format. What's the format of the input (moves, board configurations) ? That is, how are the coordinates of each stone coded ? ? Also, I have some prerecorded data of games in .olf format. Would I be able to read them with GNU Go ? Finally, in which language is written GNU Go ? C++? Thanks in anticipation. Nice work guys ! fred ----------------------- Fr?d?ric Broccard, PhD Department of Bioengineering, UCSD Institute for Neural Computation (INC) Powell-Focht Bioengineering Hall - Room 303 9500 Gilman Drive La Jolla, CA 92093-0523 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
