-
-
- This program allows two people to play go and record
- the game on disk.
-
- The object of this games is to claim territory by surrounding
- it with your stones. Stones are removed from the board when
- all adjacent (but not necessarily diagonally adjacent)
- positions are occupied by the opponent. One point is
- awarded for each point of territory and for each captured
- stone.
-
- Some of the not so obvious features of the program are
- described below.
-
- The previous move can be removed by clicking the
- stone, and also by clicking the dragon's paw. The
- proportional gadget below the board can be dragged to
- position to any part of the game. If the game has not
- been "Remember"ed then moves will be forgotten when moving
- back.
-
-
- Menu Option: Two Mice
-
- Use this option only when two mice are available.
-
-
- Menu Option: Remember
-
- The program will remember all the moves made for the game up
- to the board position shown on the screen. Only one game
- can be remembered at any one time. When a game has been
- "Remember"ed, it is possible to show the next move by
- clicking the dragon's head.
-
-
- Menu Option: Count
-
- Click any position in a territory to count the points for
- that territory and to collect captured stones. The color
- of the pointer can be changed by clicking the dragon head or
- paw, or by clicking on a territory already counted.
-
-
- Menu Option: Save
-
- The game up to the position shown on the screen is saved
- to disk. Only the first one hundred files of a directory
- are displayed with the Save and Load gadget. The
- default directory for game records is called "GoGames"
- and will be looked for in the same directory as the Go
- program.
-
- The IFF picture called "dragon" must be in the same directory as
- the Go program.
-
- If you find any bugs or have any comments or questions,
- please leave a message for Ortwin Forster on the Second
- Banana Bulletin Board.
