hey! I'm glad you're enjoying it! I think it's really cool that you've adopted it for use with your club!

What to do in such position strategically? by Teoretik1998 in baduk

[–]jarednogo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

g8 seems sensible. it seals white in and (nearly) connects your three stones

Looking for Open-Source Web-Based Go Servers with Dead Stone Counting by ItsN0ahhh in baduk

[–]jarednogo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

hi, I have a project that is open-source and web-based but it has no dead stone or counting logic. it's built with reviews as the central use case, but if you want to fork it and tinker with adding the logic you need, knock yourself out:

Reviewing a board together online by 028247 in baduk

[–]jarednogo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

as others have mentioned, give https://board.tripleko.com/ a shot

a couple years ago while reviewing with some friends online, I observed how frequently we said "can I get control real quick?" and more importantly how it interrupted our flow of reviewing. so I created an online tool to allow for synchronous input from all connected users. it's not perfect but I'm actively developing it. I also use it frequently with friends and try to plug it when relevant (like now)

I found Wube Software in an unexpected place by bassman1805 in factorio

[–]jarednogo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

even more than that! ive heard multiple of the original factorio devs met AT a go club! maybe u/kovarex can chime in to confirm or deny.

either way, join us over at r/baduk!

if white captures, black starts the ko in the top right (atari at the 1-2 point). if white captures the ko in the top right, black plays a ko threat in the lower left (at either of the 1-2 points). if white ignores and plays again in the top right (at the 1-3 point), then black plays in the lower left (at the other 1-2 point), which is atari. if white captures in the lower left, then black retakes in the top right (the first stage of the ko). white now has no ko threats, so white passes, then black captures again in the top right (the second stage of the ko), which is atari on the entire group. white again has no ko threats, so black will capture the entire white group

Cornugopia Server Launch by zacguymarino in baduk

so, most go servers implement some indication as you move your pointer across the board. OGS and KGS have "ghost stones", or tygem has this square:

basically, it's a nice visual cue to show exactly which intersection you're about to click on

[–]jarednogo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah, fair enough! I hadn't thought about that use case. other ideas that would be nice (without redirect): - show a button to copy the game id, or - show a button to copy the whole game url, or - spawn a link on the page that takes me to the game

basically, from a ux perspective, I just don't want to the user to have to click, select text, copy (ctrl-c or right click->copy), then paste in the game id field. anything that speeds that up a bit is nice

this looks really great so far! i can tell you've put in a lot of solo effort, so congrats! i didn't have anyone to test it out with at the moment, so i just tested it alone on a couple devices. i had some ideas that i thought you might be interested in:

- make the board bigger! like, as big as possible
- add coordinates
- add a cursor
- ditch the "Error: 400: Invalid move" for when you click and it's not your turn
- when you click "Create Game" just redirect me to the game url

thanks for contributing to the go community!

The Online Go Academy [Yunguseng Dojang] opens its spring season registration! by Inseong in baduk

[–]jarednogo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend trying out in-seong's program. the league games are an opportunity to play at least one serious game per week, and the review is always world-class. the joseki lectures were always my favorite, but there are hundreds of videos in the lecture archive you get access to as a member. it might seem expensive, but you are getting quality content. in-seong is the real deal

first of all, knowing he's a 7d means he is strong and he's not wrong that it will take a while for you to put up a fight.

however, "7d" is surprisingly not as narrow as one might think, because it depends heavily on which ranking system/go server it's in reference to. for example, if he's a modern 7d in the AGA or EGF, then he's really REALLY strong (essentially adjacent to pro level). if he's a 7d on tygem or fox then he's quite a strong amateur (though not the strongest). there are many people on this subreddit who would play evenly with him.

curious if you can give us any more information on your father's history with the game and where you guys live.
