eurogoserver.com - new server , no flash, no java :)

Post by lobotommy »

Realtime go server. It is in beta now. You can register & play. There is no need for Java nor Flash, so it works on EVERY mobile (&desktop of course) device. There are not too much players at this moment, but give it a try, and if you'll be there the others will come too.

Under firefox there could be some issues, but under Mobile Safari(and all other WebKit browsers) & desktop Opera it works ok. It is not optimized for mobile devices yet, but zoom in/out is so simple that it is not a real issue.

[Edit]
small tip for iOS users: Instead of original browser I suggest to use any other browser with fullscreen option from AppStore (for example iCab Mobile, Atomic, Mercury, PerfectBrowser etc, etc.). Safari has little bug with rendering this site - stones on the borders of the board are cut off and there is no chat available in horizontal view. Probably it will be corrected by the developer of EGS soon - but till then I suggest to use any other browser.

[edit#2] screenshots from iCabMobile on iPhone4 added
Of course zoom level is scalable so you can have perfect view for every part of the board :)

Very cool, and I applaud your effort. I tried to load the server on my android tablet. It lets me log in, and access the main site, but the room windows are all blank. I tried it on my laptop, and I could see and join games.

Nice graphics! :clap: Runs under Firefox with no obvious problems so far. But seems rather slow.

I can never see the list of current games. Does it use a port other than 80?

@shimari - I will contact a developer of this server and ask him about issue on android. You can also contact with him through the contact section on eurogoserver.com

@Joaz - I like the graphics there too :), as a creator of EGS wrote - it will be better rendered and the board will be better scaled.

@quantumf - I think that dev of EGS could answer about any technical stuff. I will ask him about ports but I'm just a bringer of the news ;), maybe if you send him a question via contact section it would be quicker.

Yes, there are no many players yet, but if you want a quiet place to play a game with friend - I think it could be a right place for it. I think I will play my next jubango there to bring little life there. I think there is a place for another go server - especially the one with no java requirement, no special software, just web browser, even mobile browser when you are on the go.

Thanks

I like the angled board. Nobody around to play though. :/

Is it HTML5?

I think the site got lots of potential and I really hope people will find it. I really hope, and think, the facebook connectivity is a good way to attract new people to the game.

I'll try it on my wii as soon as possible :).
Reminds me a bit of go shrine which is also:
- realtime
- no flash
- no java

but go shrine has some visualization issues when zooming in/out.

Wait - it might finally be possible to play Go on the Wii? Sounds good.

Make it work for android tablets, get some players in there, and I'll be there everyday! Well... Maybe until Kaya is ready :scratch:
