GoPanda 2 Development Status

Post by judicata »

Does anyone know if GoPanda 2 is still being developed?

I was trying to find this information in the much longer thread in this forum, but lots of heated discussion seemed to be going on. So I started this one just to ask this simple question (not saying the answer is necessarily simple, but...).

From the developers:

Notifying disconnects should be much improved in the next release (Will happen this weekend). Changing passwords, hm, good point :) For now you can do that in the console, we re-added it, same for e-mailing games. The next release will also have the "save sgf" feature.
Also, tons of bugfixes and some other cool stuff for reviewing games :)

*Improved user and game tables
*keyboard shortcuts
*Room Chats
*More time systems
*Fullscreen mode
*A simple console
*A large number of bug fixes and improvements

Screenshots?

If you download it and run it locally, does it still fire up a web server and then launch your browser? (Clunky in the extreme.)

I have high hopes for this one.

It is it's own window now. I downloaded the linux 64 version for me but they built it for all platforms. Hope you enjoy this sneak peek!

Gave a try to the mac version.
It has a connection problem, as I watched thru the console.
It connects, logs in, and disconnects right after that. :grumpy:

One wish list item gopanda1 has would be to open games in new windows. You can't watch multiple games simultaneously which I can do in the old client.

The feature list mentions a fullscreen mode - anyone found out how to activate that?

When watching a game: there are controls below the board, the first one activates fullscreen mode (click it again for more fullscreen, a 3rd click goes back to window mode).
This should be the same when you are playing, but i haven't tested it yet.
