This is a browser extension that implements some additional features/settings that I want to use on OGS.
You can click the extension's icon to enable these features individually. The list of features is as follows:
Prevents the bad habit of using analyze mode during games instead of reading in your head. When it detects that you've entered analyze mode, the extension will immediately exit back to the game.
(Right now this is a little janky, allowing the analyze mode UI to flash for an instant)
Adds a "Think" button to the in-game controls, next to the "Pass" button (I'm working on a way to prevent any accidental passing).
When the "Think" button is pressed, the board is locked for a minute (this timeout is configurable). The idea here is to set yourself a time out to prevent hasty moves. A timeout in the upper left will show remaining seconds.
If the timeout needs to be stopped, you can simply reload the page or open the extension popup and disable the "Think" button.
When the extension detects you've entered analyze mode it exits and puts you in think mode instead, locking the board in order to force you to read.
- Use a non-interval based way of adding button/toggling analyze mode
- Disable analyze mode should only apply during a game in progress--not after it's done
- Use message passing instead of polling to propagate settings changes
- Publish to webstores (FF and chrome should be enough)
- Make the timer prettier
- Make the options page prettier
- Option to replace Analyze mode with think mode
Build by running the following commands in this root of the source code zip:
npm install(you must have node.js installed)./build.sh
This creates ogs-helper.xpi.
You can test the extension by going to https://online-go.com/observe-games and clicking one of the game boards. You should see a "Think" button on the right hand side under the players' names. This shows that the extension is working properly.
