Re: [computer-go] How to play go with other programe?

Hi there,
 
I wrote a go program (19x19) recently but never got a chance to play
with others. Because I don't know how to do it. Is there anybody can
give me some help? Thanks a lot!
Here are some ways:

Get hold of some other Go-playing programs that run on your computer. You can find them at e.g.
http://intelligentgo.org/en/computer-go/programs/seeprogform.php or http://www.britgo.org/gopcres/gopcres1.html#s-play. Install them on your computer. Run them simultaneously with your program, manually copying the moves from one to the other.

Get hold of a program, as above, but make sure it is one that understands GMP. Add GMP support to your program: see
http://www.intelligentgo.org/en/computer-go/resources/specs.html. Run your program on one PC and that program on another. Connect them with an RS232 cable.

Enter a computer Go tournament. You have just missed the one in Tuchola, Poland, which was part of the European Go Congress; it only had two entrants. The next one I know of is in Japan in early October. See http://www.intelligentgo.org/en/computer-go/events/future.html.

Run your program, and connect to a Go server. State to the people using the server that you are not playing yourself, but acting for your program. When you find an opponent, manually copy moves from your program to the server's client program, and back.

Run your program, and connect to a Go server. Find another program that is connected there and is offering a game. Accept its challenge, and manually transfer the moves.

Add some code to your program so that it can play directly, as a "bot", on a Go server. See
http://www.intelligentgo.org/en/computer-go/servers/index.html for details.
