Go

Install

For the code from GitHub and put it in a IDE. There should be no need for extra libraries. The GUI is included as code.

Run the code

To start GO you need to run the server in the communication package first and choose a port. Then you can start the client in the communication package and fill in the IP-address from the server and the chosen port. Your client should be connected now! If you want to play against yourself or the AI start another client.

You can choose to be an AI by typing 2 if the question is asked. —> this is hardcode the random AI.

Play GO

You can play go by typing GO and a board size that meets the requirements from the protocol and wait for another client to join that wants to play on the same board size. For further keywords, see the protocol.

Close down the client

You can leave the server by typing EXIT. To really cancel all the while loops you need to press enter twice after typing EXIT. This will kill your client process.

Test the code

You can run the tests in the test package without any terminal input.

Minor bug with the AI

The AI can play, but needs some encouragement sometimes. Please press enter in the AI terminal when it’s the AIs turn, after approximately two it should do the turns by themselves.
