12.1.11. Goban
Figure 12.9.: Goban
Goban is a a plugin for playing, viewing and recording games of Go (also known as
Weiqi, Baduk, Igo and Goe). It uses standard Smart Game Format (SGF) files for sav-
ing and loading games. You can find a short introduction to Go at
and more information about SGF files can be read at
or the SGF specification at
This plugin can load all modern SGF files (file format 3 or 4) with few problems. It
attempts to preserve SGF properties which it doesn’t understand, and most common
SGF properties are handled fully. It is possible to view (and edit if you like) Kogo’s
Joseki Dictionary (
http://waterfire.us/joseki.htm
) with this plugin, although the load
and save times can be on the order of a minute or two on particularly slow devices.
Large SGF files may stop audio playback for the duration of the plugin’s run in order to
free up more memory and some very large SGF files will not even load on devices with
little available memory.
Note:
The plugin does
NOT
support SGF files with multiple games in one file. These
b
are rare, but if you have one don’t even try it (the file will most likely be corrupted if
you save over it). You have been warned.
