Ok, below is my first try. I couldn't resist adding no. 3.
Thanks.
GTP is a convenient way to connect to go programs, and it is superior to the older GMP: For example, GMP lacks the ability to resume games.
I'm not sure it's technically impossible to resume games with GMP, but it's certainly not easy or likely to work with all implementations.
Don Dailer, author of several go programs.
Should be Don Dailey. (Actually I don't know whether he has written more than one program, but maybe he can comment himself.)
For a game computer vs human: GUI ------> GTP engine
Question for all, what is a good way to render this in HTML?
- Windows.
This is not exactly a question. :-)
On a Unix platform with both engines accepting GTP via stdin/stdout, you can use one of the twogtp scripts coming with GNU Go. GoGui has platform independent java scripts achieve the same.
All of the languages the GNU Go twogtp scripts are written in, i.e. Perl, Python, and Pike, are available on Windows too. Has anybody tested whether any of the twogtp scripts do work on Windows?
- Can I play GTP matches between programs on different computers?
Another possibility, at least on unix, is to use ssh to start an engine on another computer and communicate over stdin/stdout.
