Play Go at playok.com or online-go.com via GNU Go, Pachi, Katago

How it works?

Python script takes a screenshot, finds the coordinates of the last move made on board and then sends it to the GTP engine (GnuGo or Pachi) subprocess to sync the board, then the engine comes up with a move which is then converted to screen coordinates where the mouse pointer is going to be placed and the click event would get triggered.

How to use it?

First you need to have python, deps and GTP Go engines being installed on your system, next you have to calibrate the script parameters to match your actual screen size/board placement, finally you can assign the side to play to the script and enjoy the game.

python3 playok-gnugo.py or python3 playok-pachi.py
python3 ogs-gnugo.py or python3 ogs-pachi.py

PLAY:
