[gnugo-devel] free go client and protocol

[Peter Strempel]

Hello,

just had a look at your gnugo page trying to find some specification
about the GMP protocol.

First, you asked about free Go programs. I am currently working
on a SGF client. Planned, but not yet realized, is to implement
a client for IGS/NNGS and hooking in GnuGo, similar to cgoban1.

If you want, add a link to http://qgo.sourceforge.net
The program is called "qGo".
The SGF editing part works. But thats it for now.

Two questions:

I talked with Bill Shubert about a new protocol that is planned
to replace the old GMP, and that GnuGo is able to support the
new one (damn, I forgot the name! GTP... or so).

Is there a specification for that new protocol available
somewhere? I am unsure if I should bother implementing GMP at
all. Some hints about this would be highly appreciated. .)


Thanks in advance,

 Peter
