Kigo testing wanted
Remember that go game (as in Weiqi, the traditional chinese board game) in development for KDE? After a 3 weeks break (holidays, new year and a paper to write), I’m now back at full speed getting this thingy shaped up.
If you want to help testing, add that PPA repository for Ubuntu Jaunty (development version) to your /etc/apt/sources.list, update and install the kigo package and have fun!
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/saschpe/ubuntu/ jaunty main
I’d love to help in testing provided the job will be paid. Though, I suspect it will not.
Where is the code in KDEs SVN?
to be found in playground/games/kigo
Dmitri: I’m happy to let you know that, in the true spirit of equality and fairness, betatesters will get the same pay as the developers!
Is planned any online-game feature (es. ISG support) or something like that?
Do you know qgo2?
What is colour scheme on screenshot? Can you upload it? Thanks.
So bad I don’t have jaunty here to test it….
Very nice. I have been testing it and here are some comments:
- moves numbers for black should be drawn in white
- it would be nice to show the last move of the opponent in a special way
Any chance of a Debian Package?
@Mariusz:
The color scheme is “Obsidian coast” and is shipped in a default KDE install.
@Fábio:
Sure, I’ll try to provide one.
running kubuntu 8.10, package from jaunty installed anyway. but game does not work. I hit New game, Computer is White, Human is black. Hit start but cannot hit on the board.
click New again, change the board size from 19×19 to 9×9, Hit Start, the board stays large.
some nice wooden pixmaps for the board would be appreciated too.
and instead of making the mouse cursor a stone, keep it a regular cursor (array/cross) and make the tiny dot that is very hard to see the actual stones.
thats it for now, until I can actually play.
and yes IGS support would be awesome.
I tested on kubuntu 8.10. Very promising program !
But I got troubles in trying to read svg files I had (I could not navigate at all in the tree of moves, no button). Is it a bug, or is the feature still not implemented ?
Thanks and good luck!
could I reuse a kpart from kigo to build a small plasma applet ?
or, could you include one with kigo ?
thanks
of course, feel free. don’t have the time currently to do something regarding plasma. if it turns out great i’m glad to include it
anyone had same problems as me ?
kigo is not working at all
ii kigo 0.5.1-1ubuntu1 go board game for KDE
seems like recent jaunty package updates screwed it up a bit, I’ll upload some updated packages …
Hi,
I’ve been unable to download kigo for opensuse 11.1. Here is the output:
[Kigo|http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/saschpe/openSUSE_11.1/] Can’t provide file ‘./x86_64/kigo-0.5.3-4.1.x86_64.rpm’ from repository ‘Kigo’
History:
– Download (curl) error for ‘http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/saschpe/openSUSE_11.1/x86_64/kigo-0.5.3-4.1.x86_64.rpm’:
Error code: Connection failed
Error message: Couldn’t resolve host ‘ftp.twaren.net’
– Can’t provide ./x86_64/kigo-0.5.3-4.1.x86_64.rpm : Media Exception
Please Advise.
Looking forward!
that seems to be a problem related to openSUSE BuildService, probably a mirror but I can’t really figure out why that should be “ftp.twaren.net”. Neither does that URL exist nor does it seem to be related to Novell. Try removing and re-adding the repository, otherwise you should file a bug against BuildService.
“betatesters will get the same pay as the developers!”
-Now that everyting is clear, where should I start?
First, I managed to download it. That’s good.
I played a 19×19 game, it was good, but there was no end, even after we both passed or even when I clicked the “Finish Game” button, I mean no counting, no “You Win” (or “You Lose”), nothing.
I saved it and reload it and still nothing.
-9×9 or smaller board, gave me jagged stone images, imposible to tell exactly where to place them, only after, place them, the board looked ok.
-again no “Finish”
-white color numbers only appear when black play, when white makes a move they disappear.
-no easy to tell where was the last move.
Suggestion:
-a Play, Stop, etc button for automatic replaying purposes. This is also good if I want to load a saved game and want to recreate it, play by play. Good for learning.
Thanks
where can i find kigo 0.5.3 package for debian/ubuntu ?
Uhm, I think I just didn’t provide any. Remember that Kigo is still in KDE’s playground, so to say it’s still alpha-quality and has no real release yet
@Hekkro: Thanks a lot for your feedback, you’re right, “finishing” a game is currently a TODO. I plan to provide some statistics, maybe highscores.. sort of these things. I’m going to do more active development at the end of summer, university keeps be busy currently
well… if you want people to test it …
there is this apple dashboard applet that seems to be somewhat working with plasma engines
http://lesiteajulien.free.fr/
Are you still working on this project? KDE, and Linux need a good go client that is not written in Java.
Sure, but to be honest, I’ve been busy with university stuff lately and my GSoC projects has it’s share too
Anyway, I plan to fix the some more issues soon. After that I plan to have an initial release, seems to be realistic still this year…
