Go teaching tool without Java

Post by shashwat »

So, I'm in a bit of a fix. I have to be at a camp where I'll be using the institute's computers. They don't have Java.

Is there any other online website where I can teach others Go like I can using the KGS interface? I just want something that allows creating new branches of moves. Notes, numbering and marks are an added bonus but are not necessary.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks :)

Based on how quickly it loads I would guess that eidogo doesn't use Java. I can't find any conformation of this though.

Kaya's Sandbox feature might suit your needs. I'm imagining that you want to load up sgfs and play out variations.

1) Is there a way for someone to see live what changes I'm making on the board in EidoGo? That's basically what I wanted.
2) From what it looks like, I think Kaya's sandbox has an option for spectators. I'll have to try it to be sure, though.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Select blank board and start clicking.

Will someone on the other end of the world be able to see my clicks while I am doing them?

Sorry, I completely misunderstood. I thought you wanted to use the computer to teach the people at the camp.

With Kaya's Sandbox yes, though I don't think you can load SGFs into it yet. Or at least when I load a sgf on there and then try and open it in a Sandbox I get an error. I assumed since you said camp that you were going to be using a projector or something to display for a class. This was confusing me as you could use any of the desktop sgf editors for this purpose.
