Documents for Go Text Protocol (GTP) users

GTP is a communication protocol made for game of Go, but you can play Othello with GTP on some applications. Some GTP commands are available on Egaroucid for Console, so these applications can communicate with Egaroucid for Console.

If you want to use GTP commands, please type this.

$ Egaroucid_for_Console.exe -gtp

I tested it works with GoGui on Windows and Quarry on Ubuntu.

GoGui

GoGui with Egaroucid is something like this.

First, you have to register Egaroucid. Please add -gtp to the command, and set working directory Egaroucid/src.

Then you can execute Egaroucid.

On GoGui, board orientation is horizontally flipped, so you can see the ordinal board with flip the board horizontally again.

Quarry

Egaroucid on Quarry is something like this.

First, you have to add Egaroucid. Open Manage Engine List via New Game or Preferences. Please add -gtp to the command.Then start game to run Egaroucid.
