GoAnalysis.getLiberties() method

Returns a number for each point, representing how many open nodes its network/chain is connected to. Empty nodes and dead nodes are shown as -1 liberties.

Takes an optional boardState argument; by default uses the current board state.

For example, a 5x5 board might look like this. The chain in the top-left touches 5 total empty nodes, and the one in the center touches four. The group in the bottom-right only has one liberty; it is in danger of being captured!

 [ [-1, 5,-1,-1, 2], [ 5, 5,-1,-1,-1], [-1,-1, 4,-1,-1], [ 3,-1,-1, 3, 1], [ 3,-1,-1, 3, 1], ] 

Signature:

getLiberties(boardState?: string[]): number[][];
