The three features that prevent me from using GoUniverse as a full-time replacement to CGoban:

1. Ability to see and accept others' game challenges
2. Ability to hear audio lectures from teachers
3. Automatch

Other than that, GoUniverse is pretty much superior to CGoban in my eye.

To see/accept challenges:
Quoting this again for Kirby. It's easy to miss.

Awesome. Didn't notice it. Thanks!

So only lecture audio remains, I guess (from my list of personal preferences).

Wanted to also ask about this permission:



Can we get details on why the permission is needed, and how it's used?

I had used the same manifest file as for my other project "WebGoBoard" and i need this permission there. Here it doesn't needed, so it will be removed with the next update. Thank you.
Btw, my project is open source and you can check every line of my code, so you can trust it.



Audio comes in a very strange format called "SPEEX". I'm not familar with it, so it hard to tell now will it be implemented in the near future or not. In fact, i had tried to play with it already, but without any good result



I also have noticed this. But in fact, there is nothing i can do, this is not the problem of the client by itself, because you can see that offline review works with the good speed. IMO the problem lies in the way how client is connecting to KGS, it is not a direct connection, there is a proxy server between GoUniverse and KGS server, called JSON-translator. And in fact i don't even know where it has been running. I'm using a JSON-translator from metakgs.org. So any request from GoUniverse sends to Metakgs.org and after that it sends to KGS server. An original client has a direct connection to KGS server, that's why response in it comes much faster. I hope one day Shubert(aka wms) will run his own server with JSON-translator near of the main KGS-server and this problem will dissapear.

Thanks. I can kind of imagine the permission for WebGoBoard, since you can load SGF links, etc., so that makes sense. Thanks, too, for explaining. You are awesome. Too bad that audio format is so weird.

Anyway, keep it up!

Thanks Waylon !

It's seems like i got a ban for talking to much about GoUniverse in the EGR.
"the rule is: "no more than one ad per 24 hours for the entire server". Not three within 30 minutes."

Or it's not me got ban again?

Hi KOCMOHABT,

Two questions.

1. Stone click sounds are now enabled in my own games.
But there's no stone click sounds in other people's games -- is this a few feature to be implemented ?

2. What does "Remove own changes" mean ? When is it used ?
( By experiment, I found out I can click and play stones while watching another user's game --
and "Remove own changes" removes my moves off the board. )
Thanks.

Hi KOCMOHABT,

Feature requests. More friendly text for the "Locale" ( Low priority ).More friendly text for games stats:Little flags ( Very low priority, but a nice and fun feature for the future ):

Dear KOCMOHABT,

So far, I am really happy with all the progress you made and thank you for your effort.

I am wondering if there is anyway to get the client/plugin to remember our username and password without compromising security.
Also, will there be an option to log-in as a guest account?

Thanks!

Hi KOCMOHABT,

Feature request: consider to add to the game burger menu...... these items:

• Toggle coordinates ( very useful feature ) ;
• Basic stones vs. other stones ;
• Toggle Stone click sounds for this game ;

Currently, Ctrl+R is overloaded with at least two completely unrelated functions:I was watching a game, and when I pressed Ctrl+R (somewhere), GoUniverse logged me off.

It will be implemented in one time when a settings page will be added.



You are right. You can do your own changes in the game tree, but if you want to clear them off and to see game tree unchanged you need to use this menu item. Perhaps description "Remove own changes" is not quite right, i'm not rly good at english.



Thank you! I had almost forgot about this, it will be implemented for sure.



So many people asking me about saving login/password. In fact, i was hoping that browser will do this for me, but somewhy it doesn't (i mean filling forms doesn't work in extension somewhy). Ok, i will implement this in a new release.
About guest account, there is nothing i can do about it, since Shubert forbid to login as a guest through API that he had opened.



It is a bug. If focus is not on the board, then Ctrl+R is working like a regular hotkey for browser and it's refreshing a page. That's why you are logging off. This bug will be fixed.
"Toggle coordinates" will be added to the burger menu.

This post of ASR, aren't they supposed to mention OP?

Akkkkk.... it looks like the same problem. Someone else being naughty, from your GoUniverse's IP address, so everyone got booted. But I see that another admin cleared the block eventually.

Dear KOCMOHABT, since I am a curious person, I need to know: are you involved with the “new” (i.e. apparently hijacked) Advanced Study Room (ASR)?

Because … please see for yourself. You may have already ready my ranting comment on G+, though, since I tagged you in it

I think the more people that use this client the better. I am not associated with ASR at all, but I don't really think there is any problem in advertising the client. The only thing you might take issue is that they didn't mention the creator. I don't really think even that is a major issue though, since KOCMOHABT could put his name right smack in the middle of the log in page if he wanted to.

I also assume that KOCMOHABT will somehow monetize this in the future and the more people you get hooked in beta, the better you will be when it is released.

As a side note, I could not read the full post from ASR because it wouldn't load. I kept getting an browser error.

The answer is: i'm not involved in this at all, more over nobody from ASR didn't contact with me. Despite this, they had wrote "We are in an intensive dialogue with the programmer to develope the application further on to cover your needs."

But, i must agree with @Go_Japan, there is nothing bad if they will use my app. But it's bad when whey are lying about developing.

I tend to disagree about this.

The way they put it, it looks as if GoUniverse is a brainchild of ASR, or at least as if it were a commissioned work, as if they were the principal and you were just a mere contractor.

And about possible monetizing … ASR’s way of claiming the credits for GoUniverse while not even mentioning the developer’s name, well, you just connect the dots … just watch what’s going on, be careful whom you trust or whom you allow to use your credentials, your work, and in which way.

I’m done here, I think … all I wanted was to direct your attention to these things which seem VERY odd to me (to say the least), and because I have seen similar things before, and they culminated in a very ugly way.
