💖 CCGO — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ccgo(6) from the Games section of the manual. yes we're doing a man page and yes it's gonna be adorable. let's go 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ccgo — a program for playing the game Go 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ccgo [options] [<sgf_filename>]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so ccgo is literally a program that gives you a graphical interface for playing Go. where, you ask? bestie, two whole places:

  • on the IGS (that's the Internet Go Server, iykyk) 🫶
  • with GMP programs — GMP meaning the Go modem protocol — like GNUGO 👑

and also? it's a SGF (smart game format) Go record viewer. multitasking icon behavior fr fr ✨

so here's the tea: when <sgf_filename> exists and it's got the extension .sgf, it gets opened as a game record. simple as that 💖

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

first things first, bestie — most properties of ccgo can be configured at runtime with the "Properties" button in the main menu. no terminal required, we love a flexible queen 💅

the other command line options are as following:

  • -d, --debug=NUM — set the debugging level to NUM 🔥
  • -c, --command=CMD — send CMD as a remote command to an existing ccgo process 📨
  • -?, --help — display the help list and exit 🙈
  • -V, --version — print the program version and exit ⭐

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /tmp/ccgo_${DISPLAY} — the fifo used for sending a command to a running ccgo process. that's the little secret tunnel between your running girlies 🧚

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

the program is also documented at "http://ccdw.org/~cjj/prog/ccgo/" — go read it, bestie, it's giving extra lore 📖✨
