Hi everyone, I just recently started playing GO, and i'm thinking of making a multiplayer GO game for Android/IOS, was wondering if you'd be interested in it, and what features you'd like it to include if yes |

By multiplayer do you mean 2 or more than 2 players? |

2 of course, play against other players |

It would be of no use to me, but I imagine a lot of people would like an iOS app for KGS. |

Well, OGS runs just fine from a ios/android browser. I suppose a KGS interface could be useful? Though if you go that route, make it via a html5 wrapper so we can stop using this horrible java interface. |

I've tried OGS from chrome on android before, and it's a lot clunkier than dedicated clients for kgs, igs, wbaduk, and tygem. They would probably benefit a lot from a real client. |

OGS is unusable for me on android Chrome because when you zoom in to more accurately place a stone the location of your tap does not correspond to where the stone appears. josekipedia has a similar problem so it might be Chrome's fault not OGS's. Anyway, Firefox doesn't suffer from this zoom bug (neither did Chrome before it 'upgraded' itself a few months ago). |

Actually whether it uses java or not, a hi-dpi compatible KGS would be great. More and more computers, especially on laptops, are using higher res screens that make the interface of cgoban basically unreadable/unusable. Looks like JDK9 will have hi-dpi support, but its unclear if old applications will benefit without changes. |

Did you up the font size? I have a hi dpi device and KGS works fine after upping font size. |

An iOS KGS client is unlikely, since KGS use a proprietarian protocol. However, an android / iOS client for OGS is possible and could be a big improvement compared to the web interface. I have thought of writing such a client myself, using either xamarin or swift. Unfortunately it would take me far too much time to do it well. |

The KGS JSON protocol is open. |

You are absolutely right, I stand corrected. This was released a few months ago, and apperently my knowledge was outdated. After a quick glance I got the impression that an app can't talk directly with KGS over JSON, instead you need to set up a proxy server that translates. Is this correct? |

Yes, you can use https://metakgs.org/explorer to do the proxy. |

Thanks for the info. A iPad KGS client would really be cool. |
