qGo is a Go board, SGF editor and client for IGS/NNGS or similar servers.
17
Go is an ancient boardgame, very common in Japan, China and Korea.
19
Open index.html for installation support.
24
Linux: Qt 3.1 and above
27
Version 0.1 should be stable including a lot of bugfixes concerning
28
the go server behavioural.
30
Version 0.0.14 has many bugfixes and new stones + board coded by
31
Marin Ferecatu. That's why I dropped the old stones. Further, fonts
32
and background colors are free selectable.
33
The autoplay feature can now use sgf time information, thus you can
34
replay a game in original speed.
36
Version 0.0.13 offers some teaching tools whereby the teacher starts
37
a teaching session and his client works as server for the invited
38
student. The student (if one) is able to play one or both colors, but,
39
the teacher can always play both colors. Hope this helps for online
41
There's are a watch list and an exclude list too, whereby
42
entering/leaving of players can be watched as well as players can be
43
excluded from shouting. I removed the thousands of talk windows and
44
added a talk tab inside the client window.
45
The translations have been
46
enabled again in Version 0.0.13, but, since Peter and me speak only German
47
and Enlish, there are only these two translations fixed. Thanks to
48
Emmanuel Beranger for the French translation.
49
Look at changelog for more details to this version.
51
Since Version 0.0.12 qGo has it's own client.
53
However, since Qt is supported on Mac too we could be able to port it to,
54
if only we knew someone who has a Mac...
58
Version 0.0.7 comes with support for translations. Currently there are
59
english, french and german versions available.
60
You can chose the language in the preferences dialog. If system default
61
is selected, the Unix system locale will be used (LANG environment variable).
62
Somehow I thought on Windows it would also chose the default language, but
63
this does not work. The locale on my german windows 2000 is "C" - anything
64
but the "de" or "de_DE" what Qt expects. Well, Windows.... I don't really
65
care. Set the language manually and you are fine.
66
You have to restart qGo to let the language change take effect.
67
Please contact me if you want to translate qGo to your language. I will put
68
more detailed informations on the qGo webpage at http://qgo.sourceforge.net
70
I added a patch from Bernd Schmidt fixing a really nasty SGF parser bug.
73
Version 0.0.6 is mainly a maintaining release with bugfixes and minor
75
Translation files (requested by some users) are not yet in. I plan to
76
release a version for translations soon.
78
In version 0.0.5 a SDI interface for multiple boards in one running
79
process is implemented. It is not using threads, so if you load a
80
large file like Kogos, it will hang up the program while
81
loading. Maybe I add thread support, not sure yet. You can always
82
start several processes, that might be safer than threads.
84
Support for Kanji letters is implemented in 0.0.5. You can now load
85
and save games with a text encoding, set in the preferences dialog in
86
the third tab 'SGF Loading'. You have to select the encoding before
87
loading a file. You might need to try a bit which encoding fits your
88
language best. It was tested on japanese (windows and linux), chinese
89
(linux) and korean (windows) systems and worked.
91
0.0.4 comes with a basic implementation of XML support.
92
Currently only reading XML files is done, saving not yet.
93
Reading XML works with files saved from Jago, but not yet all XML
94
are loaded properly. Please consider this currently as a draft, XML
95
code is under development still.
97
qGo now supports old SGF and MGT files that can sometimes be found
98
on the web. If it's an old format, it's automatically noticed and qGo
99
converts the file upon loading into new SGF format.
100
I found some of those files at the download section of the german
