I made a start on this but I decided to start over as I didn't like the data structures I was using and my unit test coverage wasn't good enough for me to debug problems effectively.
My goal was to make an program that was suitable for beginners (beat a double digit (ideally 12k) player) and that could play using different rule sets (Ing, AGA, Japanese, Chinese, etc) I would be interested in starting again or contributing to an open-source javascript implementation should you have one started already.
