=head1 DESCRIPTION |
16 |
|
17 |
This module loads and saves Go SGF files. Unlike other modules, it doesn't |
18 |
build a very fancy data structure with lot's of java-like accessors |
19 |
but instead returns a simple Perl data structure you can inspect with |
20 |
Data::Dumper and modify easily. The structure follows the SGF file format |
21 |
very closely. |
22 |
|
23 |
The SGF format is documented here: L<http://www.red-bean.com/sgf/>. |
24 |
|
25 |
All the functions below use a common data format and throw exceptions on |
26 |
any errors. |

=head2 The Game Data structure |
97 |
|
98 |
The SGF game is represented by a linked Perl data structure consisting of |
99 |
unblessed hashes and arrays. |
100 |
|
101 |
SGF files are a forest of trees, called a collection (i.e. you can have |
102 |
multiple games stored in a file). The C<load_sgf> and C<decode_sgf> |
103 |
functions returns this collection as a reference to an array containing |
104 |
the individual game trees (usually there is only one, though). |
105 |
|
106 |
Each individual tree is again an array of nodes representing the main line |
107 |
of play. |
108 |
|
109 |
Each node is simply a hash reference. Each SGF property is stored with the |
110 |
(uppercase) property name as the key, and a property-dependent value for |
111 |
the contents (e.g., a black move is stored as C<< B => [3, 5] >>. |
112 |
|
113 |
If there are any variations/branches/alternate lines of play, then these |
114 |
are stored in the array reference in the C<variations> key (those again |
115 |
are game trees, so array references themselves). |
116 |
|
117 |
This module reserves all uppercase key names for SGF properties, the key |
118 |
C<variations> and all keys starting with an underscore (C<_xxx>) as it's |
119 |
own. Users of this module may store additional attributes that don't |
120 |
conflict with these names in any node. |
121 |
|
122 |
Unknown properties will be stored as scalars with the (binary) property |
123 |
contents. Text nodes will always be decoded into Unicode text and encoded |
124 |
into whatever the CA property of the root node says (default: C<UTF-8>). |
125 |
|
126 |
When saving, all uppercase keys will be saved, lowercase keys will be |
127 |
ignored. |
128 |
|
129 |
For the actual encoding of other types, best decode some example game that |
130 |
contains them and use Data::Dumper. Here is such an example: |
131 |
|
132 |
[ # list of game-trees, only one here |
133 |
[ # the main node sequence |
134 |
{ # the root node, contains some variations |
135 |
DI => '7k', |
136 |
AP => undef, |
137 |
CO => '5', |
138 |
DP => '40', |
139 |
GE => 'tesuji', |
140 |
AW => [ |
141 |
[ 2, 16 ], [ 3, 15 ], [ 15, 9 ], [ 14, 13 ], ... |
142 |
], |
143 |
C => 'White just played a ladder block at h12.', |
144 |
variations => [ # list of variations, only one |
145 |
[ # sequence of variation moves |
146 |
{ B => [ 7, 5 ] }, # a black move |
147 |
{ W => [ 12, 12 ] }, # a white move |
148 |
... and so on |
149 |
] |

Move properties |
566 |
|
567 |
Property: B |
568 |
Propvalue: move |
569 |
Propertytype: move |
570 |
Function: Execute a black move. This is one of the most used properties |
571 |
in actual collections. As long as |
572 |
the given move is syntactically correct it should be executed. |
573 |
It doesn't matter if the move itself is illegal |
574 |
(e.g. recapturing a ko in a Go game). |
575 |

578 |
|
579 |
Property: KO |
580 |
Propvalue: none |
581 |
Propertytype: move |
582 |
Function: Execute a given move (B or W) even it's illegal. This is |
583 |
an optional property, SGF viewers themselves should execute |
584 |
ALL moves. It's purpose is to make it easier for other |
585 |
applications (e.g. computer-players) to deal with illegal |
586 |
moves. A KO property without a black or white move within |
587 |
the same node is illegal. |

Propvalue: number |
592 |
Propertytype: move |
593 |
Function: Sets the move number to the given value, i.e. a move |
594 |
specified in this node has exactly this move-number. This |
595 |
can be useful for variations or printing. |

Function: Execute a white move. This is one of the most used properties |
602 |
in actual collections. As long as |
603 |
the given move is syntactically correct it should be executed. |
604 |

Setup properties |
611 |
Restrictions: AB, AW and AE must have unique points, i.e. it is illegal to place different colors on the same point within one node. |
612 |
AB, AW and AE values which don't change the board, e.g. placing a black stone with AB[] over a black stone that's already there, is bad style. Applications may want to delete these values and issue a warning. |
613 |
|
614 |
Property: AB |
615 |
Propvalue: list of stone |
616 |
Propertytype: setup |
617 |
Function: Add black stones to the board. This can be used to set up |
618 |
positions or problems. Adding is done by 'overwriting' the |
619 |
given point with black stones. It doesn't matter what |
620 |
was there before. Adding a stone doesn't make any prisoners |
621 |
nor any other captures (e.g. suicide). Thus it's possible |
622 |
to create illegal board positions. |
623 |
Points used in stone type must be unique. |
624 |
Related: AW, AE, PL |
625 |
|
626 |
Property: AE |
627 |
Propvalue: list of point |
628 |
Propertytype: setup |
629 |
Function: Clear the given points on the board. This can be used |
630 |
to set up positions or problems. Clearing is done by |
631 |
'overwriting' the given points, so that they contain no |
632 |
stones. It doesn't matter what was there before. |
633 |
Clearing doesn't count as taking prisoners. |
634 |
Points must be unique. |

Propertytype: setup |
640 |
Function: Add white stones to the board. This can be used to set up |
641 |
positions or problems. Adding is done by 'overwriting' the |
642 |
given points with white stones. It doesn't matter what |
643 |
was there before. Adding a stone doesn't make any prisoners |
644 |
nor any other captures (e.g. suicide). Thus it's possible |

Node annotation properties |
657 |
|
658 |
Property: C |
659 |
Propvalue: text |
660 |
Propertytype: - |
661 |
Function: Provides a comment text for the given node. The purpose of |
662 |
providing both a node name and a comment is to have a short |
663 |
identifier like "doesn't work" or "Dia. 15" that can be |
664 |
displayed directly with the properties of the node, even if |
665 |
the comment is turned off or shown in a separate window. |
666 |

Propertytype: - |
672 |
Function: The position is even. SGF viewers should display a |
673 |
message. This property may indicate main variations in |
674 |
opening libraries (joseki) too. Thus DM[2] indicates an |
675 |
even result for both players and that this is a main |
676 |
variation of this joseki/opening. |

Property: ST |
919 |
Propvalue: number (range: 0-3) |
920 |
Propertytype: root |
921 |
Function: Defines how variations should be shown (this is needed to |
922 |
synchronize the comments with the variations). If ST is omitted |
923 |
viewers should offer the possibility to change the mode online. |
924 |
Basically most programs show variations in two ways: |
925 |
as markup on the board (if the variation contains a move) |
926 |
and/or as a list (in a separate window). |
927 |
The style number consists two options. |
928 |
1) show variations of successor node (children) (value: 0) |
929 |
show variations of current node (siblings) (value: 1) |
930 |
affects markup & list |
931 |
2) do board markup (value: 0) |
932 |
no (auto-) board markup (value: 2) |
933 |
affects markup only. |
934 |
Using no board markup could be used in problem collections |
935 |
or if variations are marked by subsequent properties. |
936 |
Viewers should take care, that the automatic variation |
937 |
board markup DOESN'T overwrite any markup of other |
938 |
properties. |
939 |
The final number is calculated by adding the values of each |
940 |
option. Example: 3 = no board markup/variations of current node |
941 |
1 = board markup/variations of current node |
942 |
Default value: 0 |

950 |
rectangular boards are possible. |
951 |
If a rectangular board is specified, the first number specifies |
952 |

Function: Provides the date when the game was played. |
1002 |
It is MANDATORY to use the ISO-standard format for DT. |
1003 |
Note: ISO format implies usage of the Gregorian calendar. |
1004 |
Syntax: |
1005 |
"YYYY-MM-DD" year (4 digits), month (2 digits), day (2 digits) |
1006 |
Do not use other separators such as "/", " ", "," or ".". |
1007 |
Partial dates are allowed: |
1008 |
"YYYY" - game was played in YYYY |
1009 |
"YYYY-MM" - game was played in YYYY, month MM |
1010 |
For games that last more than one day: separate other dates |
1011 |
by a comma (no spaces!); following shortcuts may be used: |
1012 |
"MM-DD" - if preceded by YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM, MM-DD, MM or DD |
1013 |
"MM" - if preceded by YYYY-MM or MM |
1014 |
"DD" - if preceded by YYYY-MM-DD, MM-DD or DD |

Propvalue: composed number SimpleText |
1202 |
Propertytype: - |
1203 |
Function: The figure property is used to divide a game into |
1204 |
different figures for printing: a new figure starts at the |
1205 |
node containing a figure property. |
1206 |
If the value is not empty then |
1207 |
- Simpletext provides a name for the diagram |
1208 |
- Number specifies some flags (for printing). |
1209 |
These flags are: |
1210 |
- coordinates on/off (value: 0/1) |
1211 |
- diagram name on/off (value: 0/2) |
1212 |
- list moves not shown in figure on/off (value: 0/4) |
1213 |
Some moves can't be shown in a diagram (e.g. ko |
1214 |
captures in Go) - these moves may be listed as text. |
1215 |
- remove captured stones on/off (value: 0/256) |
1216 |
'remove off' means: keep captured stones in the |
1217 |
diagram and don't overwrite stones played earlier - |
1218 |
this is the way diagrams are printed in books. |
1219 |
'remove on' means: capture and remove the stones from |
1220 |
the display - this is the usual viewer mode. |
1221 |
This flag is specific to Go (GM[1]). |
1222 |
- hoshi dots on/off (value: 0/512) |
1223 |
This flag is specific to Go (GM[1]). |
1224 |
- Ignore flags on/off (value: 32768) |
1225 |
If on, then all other flags should be ignored and |
1226 |
the application should use its own defaults. |
1227 |
The final number is calculated by summing up all flag values. |
1228 |
E.g. 515 = coordinates and diagram name off, remove captured |
1229 |
stones, list unshown moves, hoshi dots off; |
1230 |
257 = coordinates off, diagram name on, list unshown moves, |
1231 |
don't remove captured stones, hoshi dots on. |
1232 |
(this is how diagrams are printed in e.g. Go World) |

1240 |
Function: This property is used for printing. |
1241 |
It specifies how move numbers should be printed. |
1242 |
0 ... don't print move numbers |
1243 |
1 ... print move numbers as they are |
1244 |
2 ... print 'modulo 100' move numbers |
1245 |
This mode is usually used in books or magazines. |
1246 |
Note: Only the first move number is calculated |
1247 |
'modulo 100' and the obtained number is increased |
1248 |
for each move in the diagram. |
1249 |
E.g. A figure containing moves |
1250 |
32-78 is printed as moves 32-78 |
1251 |
102-177 is printed as moves 2-77 |
1252 |
67-117 is printed as moves 67-117 |
1253 |
154-213 is printed as moves 54-113 |

Function: Specifies information about the match the game belongs to. |
1435 |
This property should specify a list of tag/value pairs, where |
1436 |
the allowable tags are case-insensitive, and include: |
1437 |
|
1438 |
length - the match length (number of points); value should |
1439 |
be a number |
1440 |
game - the number of this game within the match (the |
1441 |
first game is 1); value should be a number |
1442 |
bs - the score for Black at the start of the game; |
1443 |
value should be a number |
1444 |
ws - the score for White at the start of the game; |
1445 |
value should be a number |

should display. It will most frequently indicate the |
1557 |
current position of play in the game. This is necessary |
1558 |
because future possible moves may have been explored, |
1559 |
and the user must be able to distinguish real moves |
1560 |
actually made from exploratory moves. More than one IP[] |
1561 |
property in a game is illegal, and the behaviour undefined. |
1562 |
The property value should be empty (""); it is specified |
