Weiqi Plugin

Weiqi (say weitsi) is the Chinese name for Go, which is a quite simple but very interesting and ancient game.

You can see a demo here.

• the plugin (about 250k)
• the rest of the images (about 550k)

All the pretty image files come from the Dragon Go Server. Many thanks.

Two sizes of the necessary set of images are bundled in the plugin zip. If you want to use other sizes than 17px or 25px, you'll have to download the rest of the images.

The only changes made to the original files at http://www.dragongoserver.net/snapshot.php (at the end of April 2008) are:

• remove useless ones,
• crop to squares the numbers used for the co-ordinates.

Download and install the plugin through the Plugin Manager or install it by hand as usual if you prefer. Maybe you'll have to empty the cache if the new css doesn't load properly.

The smart config page in the admin section is not implemented yet. Please see the syntax.php file.

Please refer to the demo.

<p> html tags are generated around the <div class=“weiqi”>…</div>. I don't know how to solve this (yet).

Set the PType to “block”, e.g. see boxes plugin. For more info see the syntax plugin tutorial. — Christopher Smith 2008/05/02 11:28

Great. Thanks Chris — Christophe Gragnic 2008/05/02 20:02

I'm not sure about the usual plugin functions, but it works. Knowing more about this could solve the previous issue…

What I did:

    function getType() { return 'protected'; }
    function getAllowedTypes() { return array('formatting', 'disabled'); }
    function getSort() { return 999; }
