Go-software for Android?

[SoDesuNe]

Is anyone able to make me a list of Go-software available for Android-phones?

I know there is the KGS client, but is there anything like GoGrinder (something for solving Tsumegos // automatically replaying .sgfs)?

[Li Kao]

There is anDGS
No idea if there is a tsumego program though.

I've been waiting for a gogrinder port. Other Android go software I've tried include Hugoban, GOdroid, gobandroid, aceGo and AndroidNoGo. None of them seem to have a really good problem solving mode and/or problem collection as of last time I tried them.

AndroidNoGo seems to have a database search and other potential, but something about it gave me a queasy feeling.

I'm always paranoid about software I put on my phone, because it's hard to know what its boundaries are. The market tells you (in annoyingly vague terms) what the application can access, but not why, and doesn't give you the option to block a particular feature. Like, why Pandora need to access my contact list? So I can some sort of "share with friends" feature or because it's got evil government bugs in it? Is it going to e-mail my contacts to advertise to them using my name? Does it ask for my location because it wants to send me local advertisements or because they're going to tell somebody when I'm not home so they can rob me?

I've done some work on gobandroid. My next goal was to add tsumego feature but my development computer is still in storage while I'm moving.

What would you like to see on automatic replay? It should be fairly easy to add.

Thank you, guys!

Basically what KGS offers with the [Shift]+LeftMouseClick action. Adjusting the speed the stones appear and well, I can't think of more right now =D

Tsumego would be great aswell =)

I know what you mean. It would be so great, if mobile phones were as accessible as personal computers but I think the industry has very good reasons (like ads and user behaviour) to not offer such possibilities.
But then again, let this industry grow one more year and I think there will be people offering software to access the OS of mobile phones.
Well, maybe not in the Apple Store =)

Android is Open!

...couldn't help it.

Interesting, I think I can add something like this to the anDGS game editor fairly quickly. Thanks for the idea.

Well... it's not that I'm trying to do some self-promotion, but you may want to watch this review:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bcXNMY2KUo

It reviews some go software... which was available early this year. I'm planning on a KGS one, but still haven't got round to it...

I've been waiting for a gogrinder port.

I just uploaded version 1.25 of anDGS to the Android marketplace. It has a new Auto Play feature that should be similar to basic GoGrinder features.

It allows sequencing through a single sgf file or through all the sgf files in a directory. Upload a directory of problem sgf files to your Android phone to study this way.

As always, I am interested in the usability of the new feature since I mostly use the DGS client features. So your feedback will be helpful in improving the app.

The "KGS offers with the [Shift]+LeftMouseClick action" has already been in the anDGS editor for a few releases. It is the browse mode in the editor options menu: select a location and if there is a stone there in the game, it goes to the first occurrence of that move. Adjusting the speed to get that had not occurred to me.

Since I just implemented an Auto Play feature to sequence (with a delay) through each move in a single game or a directory of games, I may take a look at a "slow browse" feature that might be what you are looking for. Should it be bi-directional (slow forward as well as backward) through the game record? Or jump back and slow forward?

I'm sorry, I don't understand a single word right now ^^

What I would like is: Having a function, which will start replaying a Kifu (.sgf) from any move on I choose (beginning or somewhere in the middle) and which I can stop/pause and resume any moment. Furthermore I'd like to be able to adjust the speed in which the stones appear.

If it would be possible to not only include a single .sgf but an entire directory, which will be processed .sgf after .sgf (perhaps with an option of requesting an input inbetween two .sgfs to go on), then this would be really great : )

I hope this is vaguely what you wanted to know ^^

With the exception of a pause between games, this is exactly what the Auto Play feature in the latest release of anDGS does.

(edit: I am am putting in a pause option for the next release right now..)

I just released version 1.26 of anDGS in the Android Marketplace.

This release focuses on the sgf recorder/editor. anDGS should be a useful study tool, you just have to supply your own library of sgf games or sgf problems.

- The auto play feature will allow you to automatically sequence through a single game record or all the game/problem sgf files in a directory and still have control to skip forward or backward while it sequencing.

- The editor now supports arbitrary label properties as will as the standard markup symbols. The editor markup mode lets to add, delete or modify the labels or markup symbols on a move. You can now see the markup that many annotated sgf files contain.

Talk to me, what is missing or what can be made better. My approach is to create minimally sufficient features and dynamically steer improvements from feedback (my own and others.)

anDGS version 1.27 just release:

This release added support for sgf properties: add empty, add white and add black in markup mode of the game editor. This will allow the creation/modification of diagrams and problems.

Hi, i'm a developer of android go problems (can be found on market), problems solving app, it currently supports goproblems.com database and uligo format. I'm planning to mantain AD (i'll try not to annoy user too much ) and commercial versions.
It's stil in 0.x stage, so bugreports and usability feedback will be kindly accepted on https://wave.google.com/wave/waveref/googlewave.com/w+38mBth4OA, or just PM me.
