This is a Library of Effective GO routines (libEGO), a high performance implementation of Go rules and most popular algorithms used in computer Go.

You will need:

• git (version control system)
• cmake (cross-platform, open-source build system)

Checkout the source:

git clone git:https://github.com/lukaszlew/libego.git

Construct library and examples with your favorite compiler:

./cmakeall          # do all the work

Run GTP engine:

./bin/libego.sh     # Same as ./bin/engine but loads pattern gammas from a file.
./bin/libego.sh gui # Experimental gui for making experiments :)

You can connect engine to GoGui using first command.
