Igowalker

Igowalker now open-source

Igowalker is now open-source! We made this decision to widen the circle of developers working on Igowalker, and make it available to all would-be authors as their on-line go authoring tool.

Igowalker is licensed under the Gnu GPL. By the terms of this license, it can be used only for content which itself is copylefted. With this approach, we hope to greatly expand the amount of compelling, freely available interactive go content available on the web.

Those not wanting to GPL their go content can still choose a commercial license for Igowalker.

People interested in contributing to the Igowalker project should start with the SourceForge page.

Keyboard control

You can now use the keyboard to control Igowalker. Return starts walking; period stops walking; and space walks one sentence.

Also, Nebula Go #5 is up, as is 20-bango Game #9.

Nebula Go Chapter 3 now available

The third chapter of Nebula Go is now up. And there’s also a pure HTML version of an earlier chapter, so you can see what that looks like.

Introducing the Chesswalker

Big news—Infowalker™ technology has now been applied to chess in the form of the Chesswalker. See the example.

Game #7 of 20-bango up; speed control; one-click walking

We‘ve put up Game #7 of the 20-bango—a bit more content here than in the previous games. Other recent changes include:

Sound when stones are played.
Speed controls are now available in the control bar. Each click on the plus or minus icon increases or decreases the speed by about 10%.
Just clicking in the caption area now takes you to the next bit of commentary.
