What is the best way to make an turn based board game?
I am making an computer version of the go board game. What is the best way to implement turn based action?

The most realistic way is to start small - board representation and moves validation in the console using pure Lua. Then user interface and AI. Not easy to implement this well.

Go is one of the hardest game to remake, because of the very complex ai.

It probably won't have ai until is it possible to make something like this without huge amounts of computingpower. It is ment is a only multiplayer game for now. I just want to know how do you make a good turn based timer in a game.

So I should just take a variable which tells who has the turn and it is gonna be a pure multiplayer game until it is maybe possible to have a good go so without huge amounts on power
