KGSueMe
Keywords: Online Go, Software
KGSueMe is a KGS client development effort. According to its Sourceforge Project Page, the developers have one goal:
KGSueMe aims to provide a sample implementation of a client for the popular Kiseido Go Server. The project stresses documenting the protocol so others can write their own clients, rather than to provide a featurefull client.
The screenshots do show progress, but no release of the client has been made yet.
Caution to would-be users:
There's nothing I can really do to stop you from doing this, but again, if other KGS clients are written I will have to support them and I just don't have the time to do that, so I will not help you if you try to do this.
- According to the KGSueMe
documentation, Shubert is opposed to this effort. He has also asked at least one developer of another reverse-engineering effort not to proceed.
- It has been said that KGSueMe causes harm to the server.
- In some localities reverse-engineering CGoban2 may be illegal.
So in conclusion, using a client such as KGSueMe to connect to KGS is probably not a good idea.
