The Go Specific SGF Parser is a software tool designed to analyze and interpret Smart Game Format (SGF) files specifically for the game of Go. It allows for the extraction of game information and the generation of game records and diagrams.
To get started with this software, you will need to use Games::SGF::Go. After creating an instance of this software, you can then use its functions, such as reading a file, fetching properties, and viewing moves. For instance, you can use the "readFile" function to open an SGF file named 'somegame.sgf.'
With Games::SGF::Go, you have a wide range of properties to fetch; including settings for komi, handicap, and more. You also have access to move details and can move to the next node. Additionally, you can get a move by using the "property" function, add it to your board, and modify it to your preference.
Games::SGF::Go extends Games::SGF by catering to the specifics of Go games. It supports additional tag types like 'TB,' 'TW,' 'HA,' and 'KM.' You can easily parse and validate stone, move, and point types with this solution. It also returns these types with a position on the board as an array reference.
Furthermore, you can also use the Games::SGF library to manipulate application-specific tags. All the callbacks to Games::SGF have already been set; hence, they can't be reset. Other methods from "METHODS" in Games::SGF can be used conventionally.
In summary, Games::SGF::Go provides a well-defined and convenient way to handle SGF files for customized Go games. With this software, you can easily parse, manipulate and extract critical data from your SGF files. The implementation is easy to use, and you can get started immediately.
