VERSION

This document describes Games::SGF::Tournament version 0.1

SYNOPSIS

use Games::SGF::Tournament;
my $t = Games::SGF::Tournament->new();

DESCRIPTION

Smart Go Format (SGF) is a file format used to store game records of two player board games. This module used to collect tournament information from a set of SGF files and produce statistic HTML tables for creating WWW tournament pages.

INTERFACE

Games::SGF::Tournament is a class with following methods:

new

The constructor. Optional parameters are:

sgf_dir

Path to SGF files representing the tournament. Default: current directory.

base_url

Base URL to prefix file names of SGF files. Default: empty string.

games

Returns a table of played games in chronological order with hyperlinks to SGF files.

scores

Returns a table of players descending by score.

DIAGNOSTICS

While opening directory...

Can't open given sgf_dir for reading. Probably it doesn't exist or have inappropriate permissions, see OS error message.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Games::SGF::Tournament requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

None.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.

Class is tested only on the game of Go. Suggestions about other games are welcome, and especially about ties processing.

If two or more players have same score, they position will be unpredictable. Usually, such a problem on tournaments have to be resolved with the help of other methods os scoring: SOS and so on. That is not implemented yet.

This is my very first object-oriented Perl module, and i will appreciate any suggestions about OO-style.

Please report any bugs or feature requests through the web interface at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=143987.
