Life In 19x19

Ever since KGS moved to its new location I've had severe lag problems. Clicking on stones and waiting for 1 second for it to appear is not unusual.

It seems some people are not experiencing this at all while others report a similar problem. I thought I'd poll to see how widespread this issue is.

I was thinking about picking up a Samsung Intercept on VM (The 25$ plan with unlimited data sounded nice)
But the specs on the phone look pretty dismal. 240 x 400 resolution? Would that be enough to run the KGS client?

Forcing a GTP-aware client to begin a GNU Go session from a specific SGF file at a certain move number might be an interesting hack, thanks.

In the meantime, SmartGo is the only client I have found so far that seems to be able to open to a specific move.

Does anyone know of an SGF viewer/editor that will accept a move number as a command line argument along with an SGF file, and open it to that specific move number?

Is there documentation anywhere of what command line options are available?

I believe the proprietor of Go4Go has been on a trip from which he recently returned. Updates should hopefully resume soon.

Here's an interesting project carried out at MIT involving projecting markup onto a real goban (with stones):

You could petition them to add an Eidogo shortcode, but I would imagine the chances of them doing so are rather remote.

Thank you all for your input. The color-blind filter was very interesting. I added an outer stroke to the arrow rendering so that they stand out a bit better.

Your black stones appear as if they were smaller than the white ones.
This is a known optical illusion - see mention of it here http&#58 ...

I decided to implement lines & arrows in my project. I have them working, but there are some interesting considerations to make:


⋅ What color should lines & arrows be? Should they be different colors?
⋅ When an arrow is drawn to a cell containing a stone, should it touch the ...

Thanks for posting that. As an aside, how would you pronounce his name?

I made this image from the bottom of my table board:
Spruce/shinkaya?
Possibly so. I purchased it from Yellow Mountain on ebay before I was knowledgeable about such things, and no longer have the receipt. It does seem to have a rather wide grain compared to images of genuine Kaya boards.

I agree that line support on KGS would be a great addition. Many times I have seen people in reviews attempt to draw lines staircase- style with the square markup tool. Real lines & arrows would be incredibly useful for explaining radiating influence, sector boundaries, illustrating moyo, etc.

I recall trying Drago some years ago - I'm not sure why I didn't care for it at the time, but I wound up using MultiGo for the past few years. I must say though I have installed the latest version of Drago - and it looks very likely to replace Multigo as my editor/viewer of choice.

Very good job ...
