I’d love to have an ongoing show of live OGS go games on the screen without having to find new live games all the time when one game ends. (a bit like TV I guess!)
I’d like set a filter (if possible) of options of which games to show preferably, or perhaps even set up a queue of games I want to view from a list of records I have selected.
(why? Well, I like watching Go whilst working with things that make it inconvenient to operate a mouse. I can think of many occasions where people might enjoy such an automated Go TV channel they can customise.)
So, I guess the key thing that is missing is that the current system keeps finished games on the page, rather than replacing them with a new one. It seems like it should be fairly straightforward to modify the front-end code to automatically replace finished games (maybe after a configurable time delay period, with the option to not refresh, for those that prefer the current behavior).
In this rare case yes.
I play (for fun only), the recorder and I like to practice a lot. So it’s nice to watch Go whilst I do that. Also, Go would be nice on the kitchen screen too.
Other fun features I could think of is to ‘observe player’ if they play public games, or, observe whatever another player is currently observing, so, you can have crowds move around from game to game (insta crowd!). Groups might like that feature for their members?
The crowd feature might also cause a bit more live kibitzing, something I’m missing here. (I used to play on NNGS, back in the day)
