A program written in Go that plays Go
Gongo - a Go player written in Go Author: Brian Slesinsky Last update: December 6, 2009
This is a simple computer program that plays Go, but not very well. I wrote it while learning the Go programming language. It's mostly of interest as a starting point for people who might want to write Go robots in Go, and as a example of a reasonably well-commented program written in the Go language.
The algorithm is based on the Java reference bot by Don Dailey, with some performance improvements. The Java refbot is described here:

You can get the Java reference bot here: http://cgos.boardspace.net/public/javabot.zip
See INSTALL for installation.
