Re: Ruinatio Go

Is there a way to get it to work for Linux users?
The short answer is “not yet.” The long answer is “it’s possible now, but probably more trouble than it’s worth.” In theory, you could run a windows compatibility program such as Wine, install the windows version of a browser and run it under Wine ...

Re: Ruinatio Go

On the subject of capturing race puzzles:
I’m confused. I first thought jts was talking about something a little bit like tsumego. But now it’s sounding exactly like tsumego. And there seems to be quite a lot of tsumego-related software available already. Is there some neglected niche? I feel I may ...

Re:

I said this was a “time-waster” in my introductory sentence. 1st50, I hope you can create something as popular as Zuma or Angry Birds and which introduces people to Go -- that'd be fantastic.
I’m inclined to believe that such a game is just waiting to be made… although the odds of success are kind ...

Re: Ruinatio Go

I appreciate people testing my game and/or taking the trouble to post here. I’d like to make it clear that I don’t take exception to anything I’ve read, nor necessarily disagree with it. (Well, there’s this cool thing about the ball and paddle…but this is not the time.)

I have placed the game on Kongregate.com (an advertisement-funded ...
