Remarks to the Online Version on Yucata.de
Display
The online version shows colored fields instead the possession pieces.
This is easier to see and was wished by the authors.
Usability
The start player will be chosen randomly by the system.
Each player plays with red as standard and sees the opponent in black.
The player colors can be changed by clicking on the colored stone besides the players name.
This change has no influence on the game.
The fields where a placement piece can be placed will colored blue when you move the mouse over them.
A click on it will place the piece.
Double Turns / Confirmation
Both stones of a double turn can be placed without a break.
Only one exception is the case if the first stone creates a possession from inside.
Because then can follow possessions from outside and the player shouldn't see the results of possible chain reactions,
one have to confirm this turn. Afterwards the turn can't be canceled.
Something special here for the users of Chrome and Safari (both browsers are based on "WebKit"): After the first part of the turn the player have to press "Finish Turn".
We didn't found no better workaround for the long existing problem with these browsers.
Notation / Game Log
On the right side all the time while playing you can see all the turns and possessions as a notation.
The meaning of the characters:
- c = center field
- i = innerer ring
- m = middle ring
- o = outer ring
- x = das Feld wurde von innen erobert
- + = das Feld wurde von außen erobert
The numbering of the eight fields goes clockwise and starts right besides high noon.
At every time while the game one can display an earlier game positioning (line up). You only have to click on the field in the notation.
To continue the game press the displayed button.
Prematurly end of game
In the rules published by the authors one case isn't described til now.
One player is unable to move, if it's impossible for him to make a vaild turn.
This is the case e.g. if the other player owns the complete outer ring.
After talking to the authors we declared for this cases: the player wins, who placed the last stone.
Also if the opponent can't move anymore after the first step of a double turn, the game ends instantly.
