BW-Go Free

Editor SGF com built-in KJD, plugins de apoio

FAQ: Where is the save button?

- To bring BW-Go more in line with modern Android practice, Save has been replaced with Share. Just long-press on a game in the list, and share it to whatever app you want. If you do want to save a game locally, you can install a file manager program that can handle the Share request much better than BW-Go ever could in a simple Save screen.

BW-Go (Black & White Go) is a flexible, easy-to-use SGF editor to record, analyze, study and replay Go / Igo / Weiqi / Baduk games. A Gnu Go computer player is available as a separate download to play against Android.

This free version is fully functional, except for the color styling of the screens.

If you encounter any problems, please mail me. Any feedback is welcome, including suggestions for later versions!

Features:

- All tools in one screen, including comments

- Unique 'tether' stone and markup placement: play a stone and move your finger away to check and correct the position.

Fast for tablets, accurate enough for a 25x25 game on a 320x480 screen!

- Correction for involuntary movements while lifting your finger

- Use the BW-DGS plugin (separate download) to make your moves on the turn-based Dragon Go Server! Check it out on the Play Store for details.

- Use a bot player (separate download) as an opponent or analysis helper. The bot is activated as just another tool, to be used in any SGF!

Check out BW-Gnu Go on the Play Store for details.
