Hi everybody. My name's Patrick, but I also leave tracks here and there under the Internet handle herzbube.

I have been fascinated by Go since I was introduced to it 25 years ago, but I am actually a pretty bad player (probably 20-15k). What I am better at (hopefully) is programming, so what I have been doing on and off for the past 3 years is tinkering with a Go playing app for iOS. I am joining this forum in the hope to clear up an AGA rules question, and to generally nose around a bit in a new neighbourhood

Cheers
Patrick

Welcome!

Hi Patrick, and welcome !

I'm from Switzerland too (La Chaux-de-Fonds)

Grüezi Patrick, or would that be bonjour for you? You’ll like it here

And since I also use iOS I’d be interested in your app!

Greetings, Tom

Grüezi is fine, although Bonjour would still be within the limits of my French



Well, since you asked... The app is called Little Go - there probably are better names, but heck, it's free and open source. Here's the App Store page, or if you're interested in the source code you can check out the project page on GitHub. I noticed that there is a forum for announcements, if that's acceptable to the community I could post there for new releases.
