Evolution of a Go program

About the development of Moyo Go Studio, software to (help) play the Oriental game of Go. Go is a two-player zero-sum game of perfect information. It is considered much harder than Chess. Currently, in spite of enormous effort expended, no computer program plays it above the level of a beginner.

An Example of an Insane GUI

In spite of me pushing forty, I just pulled an all-nighter. At 08:15 my phone's alarm (the phone is the cheapest Sony Ericsson) went off. When I pushed a button, it went on bleeping louder and louder, but asked: "Turn off alarm?".

Like, if you get woken up by the thing, manage to half-drunkenly grab it and press its "Yes" button, that you would possibly want it to go on waking you up..
