Today I hacked together a simple but servicable Go game. It uses chinese scoring, and you have to manually mark dead stones at the end of the game. You can play a demo here. Source code is on github.

Right now you have to sit down with someone else to play. I plan to spend a day adding multiplayer to a few games, if I have time.

It’s november, and I’ve decided this month that I’m going to do 30 projects in 30 days. It’s an all-month hack-a-thon!

Today’s project is Hack-A-Line (demo, source). Hack-A-Line is a 5-in-a-row game for two players. You play online against each other by sharing a link.

I’m okay with this one, except that there’s one really bad display bug that kind of ruins it. I’m starting to develop a list of projects where I might want to go back and fix something after this month.

I skipped yesterday because I needed a break.

I downloaded all 27 million Go games from online-go.com, aka OGS, with permission. They are available on Internet Archive or here as SGF files or JSON. You can use them for whatever you like.
