- NovaNet Go Project By Dietrich Schuschel
-
- NovaNet(formerly Plato) is a Computer-Aided Learning
- system that is installed in schools nationwide. The
- system features over 20,000 hours of instruction stored
- on a mainframe and delivered over phone lines and
- Internet to a special terminal program that runs on a
- variety of hardware. The terminal program features
- include color graphics, mouse and sound support. The
- system is very easy to use as it was targeted for use by
- grade school kids. High schools, colleges, and industry
- use this system for a total of over 3000 terminals.
-
- A Go program was being written for this system. It
- incorporates the IGO program and tutorial. The
- main program will allow interterminal play with
- observers. Time, rank, rating, komi and handicap are
- handled. The presentation will be near Many Faces of Go
- (tm) quality with a messaging and commenting system
- similar to the Internet Go Server(IGS). The intent is to
- create an electronic Go club where players can meet, play
- and discuss Go. I invite you to join our club!
-
- The project is supported by the American Go Foundation. To find out more
- contact me, Dietrich Schuschel at schuschel-dialup@nova.novanet.org
- (Internet) or schuschel/dialup/nova.
-
- NovaNet accounts are available from Bill Strutz, (217)
- 244-4300, cost is $2.50/hour usage and $10 for the
- terminal program (spec Mac, IBM, Sun, X format). If you
- know of a NovaNet using institution, ask them for access.
-
- The lesson name is goclub.
