I may have missed something, but I can’t find a link that takes me directly to the first active (correspondence) game. I often want to spawn a new Chromium window to make a move, rather than going first to the game list and selecting a game.
There’s a button in the top-right of the window showing me the number of games in which it’s my turn to move, but it’s not a standard link.
Is there a way to do this? What I’m really looking for is something that I can use at the command line to spawn the browser directly to a game window.
Unfortunately we don’t have a direct link I could give you to take you straight to your next game. This could be one of those things that would make a useful api tool, the following link will give you all of your games that haven’t ended:
Just for reference, here’s a python snippet that I’m using to open an active game. (This is pulled from an updated version of my py3status ogs notifier, so any oddities like the redirect to /dev/null are an artefact of that.)
from json import loads
from urllib.request import urlopen
from subprocess import call
PLAYER_ID=1504
# Redirect stdin/stdout to /dev/null
dn = open("/dev/null")
player_id = PLAYER_ID
# Get the active games list where it's my turn to move
ogs_games = urlopen('http://online-go.com/api/v1/players/' + str( player_id ) + '/full/')
# Parse to a dictionary
ogs_data = loads( ogs_games.read().decode('utf-8') )
# Get the list of active games
active_game_list = ogs_data['active_games']
# Step through the active games until one is found that has the PLAYER_ID to play
for game in active_game_list:
if game['json']['clock']['current_player'] == player_id:
# Spawn Chromium at this game, then break
url_arg = "--app=http://online-go.com/game/" + str(game['json']['clock']['game_id'])
call(["chromium", url_arg ], stdin=dn, stdout=dn, stderr=dn )
break
dn.close()

Ah, I used the code block, but didn’t put the preformatted text block around it. Original post edited now, which is nice because it preserves Python’s irritating fixed indentation requirements.
