Hi,

After Wallyplus, now comes Amigoplus! Basically I implemented a GTP V2 
front-end and converted the C source to C++. Also added: variable board size.

Just like Wallyplus, I am uploading it to ibiblio.org's Linux ftp archive.

Contrasting Wally and AmiGo:
- Wally has pattern matching / AmiGo uses more algorithmic decision-making.
- Wally chooses at random between two equivalent moves / AmiGo has no 
randomness.
- Wally is 43K, Amigo is 77K.
- Wally plays just the same in small or large boards / AmiGo plays better at 
19 x 19.

Neither program is a match for GNU Go by any stretch of imagination, but both 
engines generate moves instantly and are quite small and easy to understand.

I intend to work on Baduki (expect Badukiplus in a week or so), and then work 
on a new engine, written in Python or C++. If anybody has some original idea 
and would like to try it out in a new Go engine, please write to me.

Regards,
