About

This repository contains the source code used for the score estimator and dead stone removal suggester on online-go.com.

This is designed to be a score estimator with a small memory and code size foot print and fast single threaded execution speeds. While the source code is in C++, we compile it to JavaScript using Emscripten for client side use within the browser.

Seki

Different GO rules treat territory in seki differently. The output of this program will attempt to mark shared territory spots as being dead, but will specifically attempt to not mark any territory in seki as being dead, and instead leave that to a scoring ruleset to determine as being counted or not.

That is to say points a and b will not be marked dead, but the two shared territory spaces will be marked as dead.
