[Computer-go] Running automated bot matches?

[Peter Drake]

Orego contains programs (in the orego.experiment package) for running  
a bunch of test programs against a standard opponent such as GNU Go.  
There's no reason that standard opponent couldn't be another version  
of Orego.

The experiment scripts used to be in Python, but I changed them to  
Java in this version so that new researchers wouldn't have to learn  
another language.
