if you are adventurous, you may try building on gnugo.el
(i.e., using emacs).  as a tutorial platform, emacs has some
nice facilities built-in: interactive, text-oriented but also
supports images (which can be created/modified on-the-fly),
rich set of data types, subprocess management, network
connectivity (both client and server), and many many fellow
programmers (some of whom have been hacking for a long time).
this last point is to be underestimated at your own risk!

furthermore, gnugo.el can talk GTP, manage multiple games, go
into a gnugo-v-gnugo mode (see gnugo-extra.el for how), read
and write SGF files, browse gnugo.info directly, and "animate"
selected groups (of stones).

if, on the other hand, you are not adventurous, never mind...
