gojs

Go board game in Javascript.

syntax

var some_var = GoBoard(container_id, length, board_size);

• container_id: an element container with with a unique id attribute

• length: render the element container into a square of length length

• board_size: render the go board of grid board_size x board_size. Must be an integer between 2 and 19.

usage

1. Place <script src="path/to/gojs.js"></script> in the head element, or right before the body tag.

2. Place an empty div container with a unique id attribute. A div element is preferred, but other elements such as p may be used.

   Example: <div id="go_board"></div>

   Note: If the container is not empty, gojs will empty it!

3. Render the go board via

   var go_board = GoBoard("go_board", 500, 19)

SGF parser

Project http://wgo.waltheri.net/player presents a nice way to parse SGF from variety of sources, such as script and external files.

SGF specification is listed here: http://www.red-bean.com/sgf/index.html

Things to look into:

• verify SGF (such as root)
• backwards compatibility with SGF 3?
• SGF structure is preserved
• Unknown properties may be passively ignored.
