Life In 19x19

The new GoPanda 2 browser client is very pretty:They are still working on adding features to match the older IGS clients.
- The board, stones, bowls, and lids for captured stones are BEAUTIFUL.

The following options are missing, not yet implemented?
- Option to display the board full screen
- Option to enable/disable the co-ordinates
- Keyboard options to Forward 1 move (right arrow), back 1 move (left arrow), etc.
- Option to display ranks and info of players, etc.

Benjamin Teuber, Erik Ouchterlony and Rasmus Buchmann -- Congrats and thank you!

Wow, looks fantastic.

I really don't like it compared to gopanda 1. I hope they do keep it up to date.

Benjamin Teuber, Erik Ouchterlony and Rasmus Buchmann,
Here's a very crude MS-Paint mock-up to move the Black stones and lid to the lower left, to make room and prepare for full-screen mode:

That looks really nice! Good work!

I'll use it when you don't need Java Web Start to run it -- when it is a true browser client.

I second what mw42 says. It does look great but it feels so clunky to run a local HTTP server that connects to a remote server and then open the local HTTP server's content in a browser. It makes me cringe.

EdLee: what happened to black's (cli) center group in that game? I can only see a way to live with ko... although black will almost certainly win it.

Anyone else think that the inside of the lower left lid looks convex instead of concave? It's as if the light is coming at each lid from a different source. I think it would look better if the lid from the top left were used for both.

+1

Charlie, I was looking at pretty much everything BUT the games themselves.

I like the interface, but I haven't been able to see how to save a game?

I can't seem to logon as a guest (Firefox 17.0.1 on Windows 7). Anyone else have this problem?

Pandanet english client prevents Japanese users to log in, cuz it is a payed service in Japan.

Not quite true. I can't register for a free account because they want me to pay (hence my departure from IGS back around 2000 when they started checking IP addresses).

However, I can log in as a guest and observe games from any existing client, including straight off the Pandanet page for the old GoPanda (confirmed still true and I am observing a game as I write this). However, with GoPanda 2 instead of seeing the client there is a little login widget that pops up on the web page that requires both a username and password. The widget rejects an empty password without it ever going to the server as far as I can tell.
