Description

GoGui is a graphical interface to programs that play the game of Go and use the Go Text Protocol.

GoGui has many special features for Go program developers. It supports direct communication with the Go engine over a command shell. The Go engine can be replaced while keeping the current board position. Commands can be configured to display their response graphically on the board.
