I am playing a game with a user who seems to be using the ‘Just Go’ application.
I do not have a challenge playing him… and he seems to have no serious challenges playing (he has played over 580 ranked OGS games) since Nov 2021.
His user name is “hi have fun i cannot chat in just go software[7k]” which leads a couple of discussion points
-
His user name is too long to be completely displayed in our mutual game, Tournament Game: #April CUP Main Tournament 2022 (88114) R:2 (wenmorj vs thequietcenter), unless I shrink the font size down to something too small to read (on my 1080p display)
-
On his user page, hi have fun i cannot chat in just go software, I cannot see his entire username, regardless how small I shrink the font.
-
Taken together, I think these point to integration issue between OGS and ‘Just Go’ in terms of character limits and bounds checking. Not certain either side is ‘at fault’ just a design edge case perhaps not considered by either OGS or ‘Just Go’
-
While it is nice for this user to use a descriptive username to let other players know of his chat limitations… perhaps some other approach is needed. Again, I do not know enough to know which side needs improvement
I only raise this topic for awareness for the OGS developers. I know foreseeing edge case in Software design/implementation can be a never ending time sink.
