About
OWGS is the Open Web Go Server, an open source web-based Go server. OWGS is located at http://owgs.org.
OWGS is built using various open source technologies:
- Python
- Django
- MySQL
- Orbited
- Eidogo
The source code is publicly available on github at http://github.com/Tecuya/owgs
Current Status
OWGS is now open in a "beta" state. It should be possible to register, log in, chat, start a game, play a game, score a game, and review it.
If you want to report a bug, please post it on this page. Also see the front page of owgs.org for a copy of my "todo" list.
Unfortunately there are no bots set up yet, so if you want to play a game you'll need to find an opponent.
TODO Summary
The major TODOs are:
- LOTS of cosmetic/UI improvements and bug fixes
- handicap games
- ranking system
- chat moderation systems, game control/privilege systems
Updates
Sep 10, 2010 pio: I'm still here! I took a bit of a break, being busy with work and all, but I'm going to try and make another push at this project. Last night I implemented html5 audio for click noises and fixed a few bugs. My next priorities are fixing up the scoring algorithm, fixing some reported issues with the timer, and adding handicaps.
