OGS Stone Custom Images

[Clossius1]

So we recently got a really cool update to the goban where we can use custom images.

Could this be expanded to the stones? I think this would also be pretty easy to implement as I’ve been using a css inject to already accomplish it.

It would allow for even cooler looking Go board sets, allow for blind Go, and easier one color Go. (Shows last move)

Custom boards

It is indeed possible to restore comments. However the absolute majority of the deleted comments were simple things along the lines “I like that image/I thought about something similar” and such, which I believed served their purpose and were in no need of archivation (and would also make no sense outside of their context). The only relevant comment I have quoted bellow. AND as a food for thought and possible brainstorming, I am hoping to revisit the code in two or three weeks, custom stones…

AND

as a food for thought and possible brainstorming, I am hoping to revisit the code in two or three weeks, custom stones is the main idea, and if I find a good way, perhaps a better solution for blind and one-color go - although it would still be a bit of a compromise before it gets implemented as a full fledged backend feature… Any other ideas?

I was further thinking:

• currently if the images have non-square proportions, they align by their upper left corner. Would center of the image make more sense? I don’t want to make it an option as it seems like too minor a detail to clutter the interface with, so which is more probably usefull?
• would it be worth it to try and build a larger default “library” of some CC0 images instead of the current 5 textures and some flat defaults? Or is it again just a clutter and custom upload is enough?
• anything else comes to mind?

I wouldn’t mind Napster’s Hello Kitty stones :3

My wife loved some of the cute kitty stuff people came up with.

Playing go with marbles; the possibilities are endless.
