Go Elementary Training and Dan Level Testing to SGF converter

This is a tool that converts the problems in the software Go Elementary Training and Dan Level Testing to SGF. This enables you to use them in your favourite problem solving program such as GoGrinder etc.

This tool was previously hosted at the GoDiscussions forum but seeing as a forum is not the best place to host software I have moved it here to SourceForge instead. For the original announcement, see this thread.

Prerequisets

Make sure you have .NET framework 2.0 or higher installed in order to run the converter program.

Usage

1. Download the program to a temporary location.
2. Make sure you have Go Elementary Training and Dan Level Testing installed.
3. Run the converter from the command line, giving it the DAT folder of Go Elementary Training and Dan Level Testing as argument. E.g:

   getadlt_converter.exe C:\SDQ\DAT

This will create a folder named SGF in the DAT folder. It will contain all the 3000 problems in SGF format in 3 different sub folders. Please note that the latest version (1.14) of GoGrinder doesn't support the joseki problems.

• All joseki problems are prefixed with DSDAT e.g. DSDAT_1_001.sgf.
• All opening problems are prefixed with QJTMDAT e.g. QJTMDAT_1_001.sgf.
• All tsumego problems are prefixed with WCCSHDAT e.g. WCCSHDAT_1_001.sgf.
