A little Go board


WikiDbImage go.jpg

Richard Suchenwirth -- From the Popular Board Game series, here's a Go set in Tk. Playing must be done by humans, of course. See also A little checker game, Nine Men Morris. Enjoy!


Notice that quite some amount of code is shared with the other games. With some packaging, these could make a nifty board game chest ;-)

HJG Added labels and dots.

Here is an image of the board with the alphabet and digit labels --- and the dots.
