Playing against GOIA

Here is some instruction and download material to help you set up a game against one of your favorite players. It only works on windows currently, and one might find it cumbersome, thats yet another feature to improve.

Here is the way for the moment :

  1. Download and unzip the opengo binary client.
  2. Copy the player you want to play against in your c:\ drive as "c:\joueur.gop" (that's the cumbersome part).
  3. Launch opengo.exe.
  4. Create a new game, chosing "person" as white or black and GOIA or GOIA9 as the other player, with a board size respectively 19x19 or 9x9. The player you put in your disk must match the kind of game played.

Unfortunately, opengo has some bug left, and any configuration involving 2 artificial players don't work, so you won't be able to watch GOIA play against himself, or WALLY, or any other computer.
