I'll prepare a proper release in 1-2 weeks, probably.

The 1.5.2 release is online: https://github.com/Remi-Coulom/gogui

• Don't use Quaqua anymore, which should fix some crashes on macOS (issue #18).
• Support for large boards up to 52x52.
• Support for games with moving pieces such as chess or ataxx
• Drag-and-drop of sgf files (thanks to @zakki)
• Fix wrong player names in sgf from gogui-twogtp -alternate (issue #9, thanks to @tomtseng)
• New `gogui-rules_captured_count` command.
• Minor fixes and improvements.

Please let me know if you experience any problem.

I can't start gogui-twogtp (windows). is it different in the new version? can you give an example?

This release does not provide .exe files, so you have to use java to open the jar file. so, instead of



You can run:


On Linux or MacOS, you should be able to run the bash script in the bin directory, which does the "java -jar" thing inside.

thank you, it works!

Rémi
thank you so much for the update! the best program for matches! where can I watch the Crazy Zero game on board 37?

gogui-twogtp works without problems with katago on boards 37 and 52!!!

on board 37, after 1000 moves, the game stops (gogui-twogtp). how can I remove the restriction?

same problem

gogui-twogtp has a "-maxmoves" command-line option. So you can run with -maxmoves 100000 if you wish to increase it. I will modify the code to set a default value that depends on the board size, but I won't prepare a new release just for that.

edit: -1 means no limit. I will set the default value to -1.

Oh, I didn't know, thank you!!!

I want to run a game of two different engines in gogui.jar. I connect, both work, but when you start the game, one of them starts playing with itself! what am I doing wrong?

Please explain more. How do you connect two different engines to gogui? with gogui-twogtp? If you give step-by-step instructions to replicate the problem, then I will look into it.

I want to run two different engines, watch the game, sometimes stop.

1 start gogui
2 connect the first engine (program-attach-engine1)
3 connect the second engine (program-attach-engine2)
4 game-computer color-both

perhaps it is impossible to connect 2 engines in this way. is there any other way?

gogui can attach only one program at a time. You can run a match between two engines in gogui, but you must attach them via gogui-twogtp (without the -auto option).

I could not connect according to the instructions in the help (gogui-twogtp->play games with graphical display). it turned out like this:

1 I launch gogui
2 new program: "java -jar gogui-twogtp.jar -black "e:\engine1\katago.exe gtp" -white "e:\engine2\katago.exe gtp""
3 game-computer color-both

Now I'm watching the game, I press "game-computer color-none" to pause
for the board 37: "java -jar gogui-twogtp.jar -black "e:\engine1\katago.exe gtp" -white "e:\engine2\katago.exe gtp" -size 37"

is it possible in the new version to start match with the display? as in help. how to do it?

The command line to start a match with the display is given at the very bottom of that page:

I have just tried it and it is working for me

https://lifein19x19.com/viewtopic.php?p=206385#p206385

after the launch: "TWOGTP" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
what's the matter? Tell me please
also with "BLACK" & "WHITE"

That's because you are using Windows. The documentation is for bash. You will have to adapt it.
