The gnugo.el that is supplied with gnugo-3.7.2 addresses exactly the requests that are made. If you run it under X windows you get a graphical display of the board with XPM's. However if you run emacs -nw it will run in terminal mode. It may require emacs21.

The mode line displays: (Playing GNU Go [0 0 :8 0 :0]) Here the five numbers are Black Captures White Captures : Move Number Size of the undo stack : Time waiting for the most recent move The timing information is what you asked for. > Stepping thru a loaded game in ascii mode, it gets hard to see where the > next stone has just been put -- because unlike during live play, there > are no brackets around the last move made. > (X) (O) Right? If you load a saved game in emacs mode, the last move is properly bracket. Stepping through the game is now implemented in the distributed gnugo.el. You could go back to the beginning of the game with '<' then step through it with 'f' and 'b' to go forward or backward through the game record. > For that matter, that last move could be displayed somewhere on the > screen. > > And for that matter, all the moves could likely be displayed along the > right-hand side of the screen..! 'h' will produce a list of all moves in the minibuffer. The version of gnugo.el that I just discussed is distributed with 3.7.2. The version of gnugo.el that is distributed with 3.6 is Thi's version 2.2.8. In that version the redo is not implemented, sgf handling is a little broke and the mode line is different but does include the timing info. According to: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/games/gnugo http://packages.debian.org/testing/games/gnugo The version of GNU Go you are distributing is 3.6. (Forget about debian stable.) I recall that debian testing is frozen now, but maybe you should put gnugo 3.7.2 into debian unstable.
