Demonstration Clojure app which alerts a player when a group of stones has been captured by a move in the game of Go. It's a 'simple' capture because it doesn't understand any of the special cases. If a group has at least one lifeline, it is considered alive. Also, it does not remove stones in case of a capture.
This requires Leiningen. One installed,
lein run
within the project directory will run (two-stone-demo).
There are three demo scenarios, (one-stone-demo), (two-stone-demo), and (one-eye-demo). The first two have proper captures where as the latter one, although the black stones are surrounded, there is no capture due to a shared lifeline between them.
To run another demo, simply edit the (-main) function src/simple_go_capture/core.clj to run a different demo.
Creating new demos should be straightforward: borrowing from one of the existing demos, add moves until the desired layout of stones is created. As already demonstrated, stones can be laid down in any order and a capture notice will appear regardless of when the finally surrounding stone is played.
