If you need to instruct users with a video to tell them how something works
you really need to do fix your usability. So if you have no bugs to fix, i would
suggest focusing on that to create a better overall experience.

Just my 2 cents..

Arnout,

great catch, please have a play,
peepo.com
and let me know if you find a usability problem.

I think this is not about usability,
but gameplay, Go is about 3000 years old,
so it is not a video or console type game.

cheers

I did get the clicking part. I didn't recognize it as a game of Go
(maybe because I never played it) so here's the reason why I didn't
get it

Floby,

did you win?

anyway thanks,

because of your concerns I added a short introduction and some links.

I had intended to leave the interface clean, but the game is
probably too abstract for most.

Great job Jonathan!

I'm thinking to participate to this contest too!

I created a multiplayer snowball fight using HTML5 technologies and of course using the great NodeJS:

If someone can give me some feedback I will really appreciate it!

Much enjoyed by Phoebe,
she may bring a facebook cohort later...

had you considered keyboard, touchscreen and hands-free players?
ie beyond mouse.

scaleability, ie small for mobile, medium for ipad, large and
enormous...
SVG has this built in, canvas is a dark art for me, so cannot advise.

how about AI robots?
ie for when no one's about...

anyway great fun

I hope so!

To make it work on the iPad, we only need to add a button to throw the balls.

We resize the canvas based on the size of the browser viewport.

Yes thats we should have done, dummy users to throw at when there is
no one in the game.

Thanks!

From one Go (and Node) fan to another, good luck in the competition!
I saw the 7-day tweet and thought to give it a shot; 'was planning to
enter a cut-down arcade version of "Gates Of Sirius"* but didn't get
finished on time and made too many compromises in the rush. Ah well,
maybe next year.

All the best,
- Scott.
