This project is a desktop implementation of the traditional board game Go written in C# using the modern cross-platform framework Avalonia UI. The application is currently in the state of fully functional prototype.
- Local game (1v1): Ability to play on one computer against another player.
- Play against AI (KataGo): Integration with one of the best open-source Go engines.
- Game Settings:
- Choice of game board size (standard 19x19, 13x13, 9x9).
- Choice of stone color (black/white) when playing against a bot.
- Setting the level/difficulty of the KataGo bot.
- Scoring: The calculation of the game result is delegated directly to the KataGo engine, which ensures more accurate determination of territory and dead stones than a purely local algorithm.
- Language: C#
- GUI Framework: Avalonia UI (XAML / MVVM)
- Engine: KataGo

The current application is only a prototype Since this is a development version, there are some bugs, inconsistencies, and technical debt in the application. The project was created within the framework of a C# and was primarily used to test more complex game logic and integration with an external engine.
I am open to any modifications, forks, or optimizations to this code. However, please note the following:
- All modifications and execution of the code are at your own risk.
- Due to the bugs present, I recommend first thoroughly checking and testing the code before any deployment or modification.
This repository currently serves mainly as an archive.
- Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/Zero89-sys/Go-BoardGame- Important step for playing against bot: Due to GitHub's file size limits, the trained neural network for KataGo is not included in the repository.
- Download any network model (
.bin.gzfile) from the official KataGo website. - Name the downloaded file exactly
KataGo.bin.gz. - Put it in the
Engine/folder next to the executable program.
- Download any network model (
- Open the project in the IDE and run the application.
