Agapiou Marinos Kamaras Georgios

This project is a very straight-forward team work. Most of the code was written with both members working in the same computer, simultaneously. If we could separate something, that would be these functions:

• finalscore() function is mostly a work of Georgios Kamaras
• undo() function and it's general implementation in the game is mostly a work of Marinos Agapiou
• fixedhandicap() and placefreehandicap() are mostly a work of Georgios Kamaras
• ko() and setfreehandicap() are mostly a work of Marinos Agapiou

From the various GTP commands, we implemented:

• protocol_version * name * version * known_command * list_commands * quit * boardsize
• clear_board * komi * play * genmove * showboard * final_score * undo
• fixed_handicap * place_free_handicap * set_free_handicap"

To compile the project, just type: make ...and press :-)

To run the project: Our command line arguments are expected to go as follows:

$ ./ipgo.cup -seed <seed_number> -jap -superko

./ipgo.cup part is necessary -seed <seed_number> part is necessary -jap part is optional -superko part is optional

---

NOTE: For Go Cup version only: -seed <seed_number> is still necessary, however we don't use randomality in the genmove's function, we still need it for the place_free_handicap's function, which in our program is still based in randomality. For the Go Cup, we tried (and achieved) to change out initial submit (for evaluation) as little as possible.
