Game Go  Shawn Obanion  This project consists of the development
of a computer software version of the game referred to as "Go".
The program will utilize the power of artificial intelligence to
create a competitive computer opponent for a human player. The
game Go is an ancient Chinese board game which involves two
players who alternate placing white and black stones on the
intersections of a 19 x 19 grid. The ultimate objective of each
player is to control the larger portion of the board. This is
achieved by surrounding your opponent's stones with your own
which results in their stones being removed from the board. The
game ends when both players pass on a turn (indicating that they
can no longer gain any territory) or when one player gives up.
