Re: [pbmserv-dev] Adding a command to a game

[Lyman Hurd <lhurd@yahoo.com>]

In your yourgamenamehere.h file (go.h?):

	virtual int UnknownCommand(int argc, char **argv);

Here's what my routine does.  You'd be looking for
"sgf" instead of "set".  Return 0 on success, and if
the compare does not work be sure to return to the
default behavior.  I'd probably keep this routine to
about 10 lines just to see if the command was sgf and
defer the guts to its own method!

Cheers,

Lyman
