Life In 19x19

This is a fascinating game and you can clearly see Takemiya's style at work. As an SDK it certainly doesn't excite me to start trying to idly build center moyos and pretend I have a 'style', but it is a solid lesson in how to build influence and calmly play influential moves despite the ever-present ...

It's an interface, and a capable one. Stop being weird.

The merge with OGS was a smart one, so exciting to see the playerbase double overnight!

This is great news. anoek, matburt, this was a good move and it's so exciting to see Nova's playerbase double overnight. Looking forward to the future!

I have no problem giving Kaya cash as it wasn't a great deal of dollar and was excited at what a modern Go server could be, but I guess that was pretty naive. I believe the saying goes, "a fool and his money are soon parted". In hindsight it is clear there was a bit of an attitude problem and a ...

As said, if you're getting a 552 error, there could be many possible reasons as the server is rejecting the connection mid-request. Anything from a DB issue, PHP, http server or even a cron job could be an issue - so I would recommend perhaps changing your request to a LAMP developer (assuming that ...

Some arguments against a dedicated app:

* I can't play KGS at work because the port is blocked. Nova is presumably working over 80 or similar, which means I can get in a quick game at lunchtime.

* The development time and resources required to build one would be like rebuilding Nova all over ...

I checked this out a while back when it wasn't very feature rich, and I have to say, it's improved leaps and bounds - color me impressed! You guys have done really, really well here and I much prefer this to KGS, Tygem and IGS in terms of usability, interface and features.

In particular, I was ...

The DOCTYPE of the document Kaya is serving up can force IE to render in compatibility / quirks mode. See here:

Since Kaya appears to be using XHTML Strict, it is probably forcing IE9 into some godforsaken combination of modes. If you enabled F12 Developer Tools, you can change it back to IE 9 ...

Quite the opposite. New features are being put out every week.

I don't know how much you know about software development but stable, feature-rich software takes years even for professional teams. By this yardstick, Kaya development is lightning-fast.

Looks good, I'll definitely back it. Like you say, it's quite a challenge to portray the right message about Go to so many different people. For instance, kids probably aren't so much concerned with the depth and computational complexity, they want something that is fun and played by other kids ...

I would just like to chime in to say that having a large board with a reduced interface is really important. I am a supporter of all the modern, interesting things Kaya is doing but at the end of the day, I go there to play Go, and I want my experience to be really just me, my opponent, the board ...

For me, the priorities would be:

1) Understandable ratings and rankings (done)
2) Effective escaper policy
3) Rich information in your profile (current version not bad, but could be better)
4) Review tools
5) Voiced byo yomi
6) Scalable board and other windows
7) Button for making audio ...

I have also registered for the purposes of replying to this thread, as I am perplexed by the negativity some people seem so keen on expressing.

Yesterday I bought a Supporter account and was up and running on the server within minutes. I played a game with someone who paitently waited whilst I ...
