KGS features and behaviour list

    Keywords: Online Go

(Sebastian:) What's the purpose of this page? Can it be deleted? It has not moved from its first draft status for half a year. If anyone finds useful information here, please move it into KGSWishlist or KGS Bugs or wherever appropriate.

rubilia: I think the aim of this page was to provide some referencial information for betatesting. However, it does't look very much like being used that way.

(Hicham) I am with Sebastian here. I dont see what this page is about. I am not sure where one should put pages up for deletion, so I'll do it here.

Barthoze I'm the original author of this page, I tried to put the whole list of feature and behaviour of the KGS client, to have a whole checklist for beta purpose testing. It's lot of work for not much use. Flag it for deletion.

  • Internationalization must be complete and functional.
  • Client must be able to login KGS

"Play On KGS"

File Menu

  • "Get MOTD"
  • "Server Stats" must work too.
  • "Set Preferences" must give the same menu as the "Configure" button
  • "Upload SGF Files" must work on 'most' valid and accessible SGF Files and give a Demo game.

'Note' : The collection of all SGF that made the client or the server crash would be a nice idea.

User Menu

  • "Register" must create an account

*

The Rooms

  • Private rooms can be accessed by anyone on their grant list. People out of list should be denied.
  • Admin must be able to boot the obnoxious ones.

The Games

  • Set all type of games : Free, Teaching, Demonstration, Ranked

  • Private Game must give access control

This settings must affect the game accordingly and at the very least not boot players off the server.

  • for Free,Ranked and Teaching : When both players agree on settings.
  • for Simul : When 2+ players challenge the simul giver and ???

During the play

_For players__

  • Amical, Ranked and Simul : no access to Modification mode until end, no Score Estimator, no kibbitz.
  • Options
  • Resign must end properly the game
  • Pass must count as a move. (two pass leads to score counting if the first player to pass is black)

Edit SGF

-- same remark as "Upload SGF File"

"Quit"

  • Players should be able to forget go and do something productive for a living. --will probably be flagged as WORKFORME or NOTABUG --
