Life In 19x19

There's a new version of GoGui HERE with an installer.
It installs OK, with the GoGui interface, but it's twogtp that doesn't work.
There's no error or anything, twogtp just does nothing.

Could anyone please try it. (I have Win 10)

Version 1.5.1 includes some bug fixes for twogtp. Looks like there may be something wrong.

in Win 7 does not work either. copied the file "gogui-twogtp.exe" from version 1.4.9 - works

Ah, ok.
Thx @ez4u and @And

I cannot replicate the problem that people report.

We uploaded a broken installer by mistake for a very short time, and maybe github continued to distribute it for download for longer. Can you please try to re-download it (maybe clean your cache or use another browser to make sure you don't get it from the cache). There is a chance that this might fix the problem.

I have recently installed it on two PCs with the installer downloaded from github, and it worked.

Thank you for your answer.
I tried redownloading the installer (twice, using 2 different browsers)

Same result on two computers, both with win 10.

What I get instantly with 1.5.1In the 1.5.1 directory, If I just replace the 286K gogui-twogtp.exe from the 1.5.1 installation by
the 284K gogui-twogtp.exe from 1.5.0, without changing anything else, it works (a 10 game match is underway) It's a pity it doesn't work on my computers, because I appreciate twogtp very much and I use it often.

Anyway, I'll try again.

reinstallation with manual cleaning of the registry, the latest version of Java, version 1.5.1 gogui-twogtp does not work

Thanks for reporting the problems. I believe I found the issue: we probably did not package the jar files into the .exe properly. We uploaded a new installer today. It should fix this problem. Please tell us if it works.

Works on my computer, thank you !

Rémi, thank you! in windows 7 also works. in Gogui "size" option supports boards up to 25x25. Is it possible in the next version to increase this value to 37x37 or 52x52?

The reason it is limited to 25x25 is that the alphabet has only 26 letters. Increasing the board size beyond 25x25 will create trouble for board coordinates display. Also loading and saving sgf game records may have problems because one letter is not enough. I guess that finding workarounds should be doable, but I have no motivation to do it myself.

Rémi, thanks for the answer! The solution of loading and saving sgf game records and board coordinates display has long existed, for example:

the game on the big boards becomes completely different, so it is so interesting! about the game 37x37:

wondering if there will be an update?

Not sure if there is still interest in this, but I have implemented support for large board size in gogui, up to 52x52. I plan to fix a few other issues before making a new release. The feature is available on the master branch if you can't wait: https://github.com/Remi-Coulom/gogui

Thank you very much, it works well
size 25
I'm looking forward to trying handicap games on big boards.

For the moment, I get "size error" messages for sizes bigger than 25, it's probably a katago version problem.
and...I guess you have to be a very special user to play 37x37 games with Crazy zero
