open source go bots for my server ?

[otenki]

Hey guys,

In my free time I have been writing a small little go server to do some experiments with.
Now that I`ve progressed a bit further I want to attach a bunch of bots to it and let them play eachother.
Do you know any open source bots that I can adopt to send messages to my go server ?

They don`t have to be strong but sometime more than random bot which I allready have.

Cheers,
Otenki

If you have added support for GTP, pachi, fuego and gnugo handle it nicely. Aside from that... None I can think of right now!

Guess I`ll have to write a golang implementation of GTP then.
I`ve just read the specs but it seems my server does not have enough features yet to implement the full thing.
For example undo is not yet there. I guess I`ll have to do a partial implementation and see which bots work with a limited set of commands.

Thanks!

I think you can force them not to use undo (or maybe they don't even use it, don't remember the details.)

Oh, writing it in golang? I have several utilities I wrote for analysing openings in 9x9 (nothing fancy, just normalising the first 2 moves so "all games are the same orientation") written in golang, I found it funny to use go for go (I also use the language at work now and has essentially displaced Python and C as my go-to-language for quick-n-dirty hacks)

Although a little outdated you have a list of GTP go engines (33 availables, 27 with sources) here:

Most of them run smoothly under gogui, so could be adapted to your server (if GTP).

Two other recent, maintained engines, apart from Gnu Go, Fuego, Pachi:
