Hi,
Firstly it's good to see the list so active these days. I've been
subscribed to this list since January and am writing a
small Go program as a final year project in college, and the comments
here have been pretty helpful although I definitely underestimated the
task of writing even a simple Go program :o)
(I'm not the hardest working of students..)
Anyway, I wanted as part of my project to compare how my program plays
against other common Go programs (it doesn't play yet, but it will!).
I've read about various protocols incuding GTP, GMP etc.
People seem to recommend the Go Modem Protocol for comparing programs,
however I only have one computer to hand so don't think I can use a null
modem cable approach.
I've heard about internet Go servers, and also that their protocols
aren't the most open source? Do Go programs sit on any of these servers
regularly? And where can I get the specifications of protocols for
connecting to and playing on these servers?
How many programs support GTP?
Thanks for any and all help!
Conor
