![[A Professional Game]](pro_game.png)
PilotGOne can be used for three things - for recording a game of Go (Chinese: WeiQi/Wei-Ch'i; Japanese: Igo/Go; Korean: Baduk/Paduk); for playing back existing SGF files, including variations and comments; and, as a board, for stand-alone play while travelling. The features are tailored to these roles. It is not a general SGF editor, but we keep adding new features. The SGF source lives in PalmOS® memos, so you can simply edit the memos to make any extra changes that you want. It is for any PalmOS® 2.0, or later, handheld device.
Here is how PilotGOne displays a game played between Yu Bin and Cho Hun-hyeon:

Like the program? Found a bug? – please do write to Brian Brunswick, or Sylvain Soliman, to tell them how great it is, or to report bugs (please check Known "Bugs"/Limitations first!). The PilotGOne Team are giving you source code in the hope that someone else might do some more useful work that they can't be bothered to! :-)

Documentation: you can also download your own, copy of the documentation that you are now reading. This is a 89 kb zip format file (167 kb uncompressed), which includes the web pages, and all the graphics – these will be unzipped into a directory of their own called pgdocs. To print the documentation, either read/print the frames as separate files, or print the frames (Microsoft Internet Explorer: File/ Print .../ Only the Selected Frame/ [OK]; Netscape (and probably Mozilla): File/ Print .../ The Selected Frame/ [OK]; Opera: File/ Print Preview/ Active Frame/ [OK]).
To find out about new versions, either regularly check the rec.games.go newsgroup, or subscribe to the pilotgone-announce mailing list.
Earlier versions, as well as the documentation, and the source files, are all available for download.
For most of the basic uses, it is usually fairly clear how to do it. If/when you want to do more specialised things, you will find much fuller details later.
We suggest that you configure Board Preferences, especially remapping buttons.
Most of the information that you need, and the possible actions, are shown as "gadgets" which are along the bottom, and up the right hand side, of the board.
To create a new game record do "New ..."; supply the information; tap "New" again; place the stones (also "backspace" to delete/undo previous move; "space" to pass), until "done". Finally, add the "Result" to the "Game Info".
To view an existing game, select an SGF memo, and use (Skip)Forward and (Skip)Back, or the PalmOS® device's "page up"/"page down" buttons, until "done". You can either guess the next move (by tapping on an empty point), or simply play through the game.
Editing an existing game record: You can use PilotGOne to do many things – lots of details below. Alternatively, use Memo Pad to edit the raw SGF game record directly – beware!
