There are 3 different kinds of game types :
When the program starts up a dialog appears where you can select
the game type you want to play. In this dialog you can also select the
game size you want to play.
To play the game just click with the mouse on the place where you want
a stone placed. To pass you can click on the button labelled 'Pass'.
The game will automaticly end when both players pass more than 2 times
after eachother.
To play over the internet you only need to know who will be the server
and who will be the client. You can use the default port of 5001
or select an alternative port. The client has to specify the hostname
of the server, the server always used localhost
.
Kgo has keybindigs for severval functions. You can configure
these keybindings with the option Configure keys
from the Options menu.
