var some_var = GoBoard(container_id, length, board_size);

• container_id: an element container with with a unique id attribute

• length: render the element container into a square of length length

• board_size: render the go board of grid board_size x board_size. Must be an integer between 2 and 19.

usage

1. Place <script src="path/to/gojs.js"></script> in the head element, or right before the body tag.

2. Place an empty div container with a unique id attribute. A div element is preferred, but other elements such as p may be used.

   Example: <div id="go_board"></div>

   Note: If the container is not empty, gojs will empty it!

var goboard = GoBoard("canvas", 500, 19);
