Some features
- DGS offers a "proper komi feature" with fine-tuned komi intervals to balance even minor rating differences to provide a 50-50 chance for both players.
DGS "add-ons"
-
Dragon Go Server Turn Monitor notifies you when it is your turn to move in a DGS game. DGSTM runs on all platforms the support Java. The windows version of DGSTM places an icon in the system tray that shows your current DGS game status.
- Neil: Seeing the handy URL used by the above app, I've written a Kicker applet to that watches DGS for you, too:
Dragon Probe
-
Dragon Watch is a GNOME panel applet that does the same job.
-
Peter Nicell has very simple way to create a HTML page that periodically refreshes a DGS page.
- to track your favorite user's performance, download frs's HTML page:
http://home.snafu.de/frs/go-rating-dgs-users.html and edit the names.
- Scripts for the
Firefox/
Mozilla extension "
GreaseMonkey" provide a great deal of new functionality to DGS; see the
official list of scripts (for all sites).
TDerz All of this is very impressive. The snafu-link allows us to verify the club rating (also it's not in the club). A slight improvement of Peter Nicell's way by Stéphane Macaire: "./" before dgsr.html (DragonGoServer auto-refresh) refers to the same folder, hence no address change is necessary and 10 seconds refreshment rate were to short on our computer at work (tried here with 3 minutes):
<HTML> <HEAD> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="180; url=./dgsr.htm"> <title>Dragon Go Server auto refresh</title> </HEAD>
<frameset cols="*,1" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="NO"> <frameset rows="*,1" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="NO"> <frame src="http://www.dragongoserver.net/status.php" name="main"> </frameset> </frameset>
<noframes> <body> Sorry your browser does not support frames... </body> </noframes>
</HTML>
However, this refreshment page stops refreshing after some time (90 seconds): "The page cannot be displayed" perhaps due to Network Settings.
Cameron: I started playing on Dragon Go Sever a couple weeks ago because i got tired of playing on Yahoo. It is very enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone.
