AmiGoGtp is a version of the AmiGo Go program with a Go Text Protocol interface added. AmiGo was one of the first Go programs publicly available with source code. It is based on a Pascal program written by Stoney Ballard in 1983 and posted to USENET and was ported to C and the Amiga by Todd R. Johnson in 1989. AmiGo plays weak compared with newer programs. The purpose of this release is to make AmiGo available as a reference player. Therefore only small changes to the original source code were made: - Small bug fixes - Fixes for compiler warnings - Less deterministic play - Support for board sizes from 9 to 19 - Support for superko rules (used at computer Go servers) The source code should compile on any standard C++ platform. It includes configuration files for a build using GNU Autotools. See INSTALL for details. To use AmigoGtp in the GoGui graphical interface (http://gogui.sf.net), select "New Program" from the "Program" menu and enter the location of the amigogtp executable in the command field. This release includes the following directories: amigo/ The original AmiGo release 1.0 for the Amiga computer (all contents of the file amigo.lzh except for the Amiga binary).
