Whoever scores best (determined by time used and mistakes made) wins. You could also introduce ranks in this system, so the problem sets would be automatically matched to your level.

It might be the kind of tsumego challenge that Hushfield is talking about or more rpg:ish approach where solving loads of tsumego gains you experience.

oca wrote:Here is another idea... having a goban where we can drag the stones...
I think that may help to "feel" a bit more the stones than just a click...

I did a quick test with paper.js (as wGo.js doesn't allow to drag stones...)
and I came to this :

http://picshell.ovh.org/go/goban.html

This is a very basic goban... you can just drag stones (or move them by holding the shift key, or ctrl to remove a stone)...

I like the idea to not force any alignement and to let the user interface beeing as free as possible. I also like to drag stones from another one which makes me feel the move.

I don't know where I will go from this, but still wanted to share that idea of draggable stones with you.

I find that eidogo's design is a lot less compatible with 60-year-old arthritic fingers than it is with a mouse. There are many posted games here that I don't even try to look at due to the frustration of getting 10 plays into the game and then hitting the slider bar and finding myself at move 150 with no back button.

In file player/css/player.css :

.eidogo-player .controls .control {
...
width: 70px;
height: 48px;
...
}

instead of width: 44px; height: 19px;
we also need that one :

.eidogo-player .move-number {
   ...
   top: 40px;
   left: 10px;
   ...
}

instead of top: 12px; left: 230px;

Just quickly come back to eidogo button size, I also find they are to close...
I tryied that :

Not a hudge improvement, but very easy to do and still a bit better to me.
eidogo use CSS so maybe we can just change a few detail like that :

Code: Select all

In file player/css/player.css :

.eidogo-player .controls .control {
...
width: 70px;
height: 48px;
...
}

instead of width: 44px; height: 19px;
we also need that one :

.eidogo-player .move-number {
   ...
   top: 40px;
   left: 10px;
   ...
}

instead of top: 12px; left: 230px;

What do you think about that ?
