How to start a new go-project?

[creiling@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello everybody,

I am new and I would like start new go-project.

I know that it is impossible to develop a go-playing program at once.

So I would like to start with only a few aspects/parts of a real go-playing
programm.

But how to start? What is most important? What is easiest?

My plan for the first time:

- OO-design of the most important subjects

- debug and test environment, including MMI and SGF interface

- 1st expert: life and death (only for completely surrounded groups)

- 2nd expert: connecting/disconnection

- 3rd expert: capturing races


What do you think?  Is this a good or a bad start? How would(/did) you
start the project?

Can anyone give me advice?
