I BELIEVE THERE WAS AN INQUIRY AS TO GO PROGRAMS ON PCS. I HAVE NOT USED THIS PROGRAM BUT PLAN TO SOMETIME THIS SPRING. Date: Sat, 7 Feb 87 01:23:36 PST From: <LOGANJ@byuvax.bitnet> Reply-to: LOGANJ%BYUVAX.BITNET@forsythe.stanford.edu Subject: Go program, v1.0b2 This is version 1.0B2 of the Go program for the Macintosh. This file is about 137,XXX bytes long. When unhexed it is 98.5K bytes. Recent improvements to the program are as follows: - You can now set the baud rate and other modem port characteristics from within the program, for playing games between two Macs. If you play through modems over telephone lines, for example, you can communicate by typing on the keyboard - a line of text is sent to the opponent when you hit the return key. - The program will give a short analysis of a board position, showing the number of primary liberties (max about 8), number of secondary liberties (max 8), and the result of a simple ladder. - The program will now display the "Reasons for Computer Moves". Other recent improvements include more reasonable end of game scoring and the ability to add symbols to handicap stones. I have tested the communications between two Macs and it seems to work okay. This is public domain, so you may give it to friends and post to bulletin boards. Regards, Jim [ archived as [SUMEX-AIM.Stanford.EDU]<INFO-MAC>GAME-GO.HQX DoD ] ..............................
