Dragon shape games
  • Are there examples of game boards?
    This entry shows some goban examples illustrating the supported syntax on DGS. The raw-format is based on the go diagram format from Sensei`s Library.
     
    The examples are separated by lines. Most of the examples are taken from Sensei`s Library - How Diagrams Work. Easiest is often to use the goban editor's "Preview" to test if the format is correctly showing what you want.
     
    To view the raw-format of the example please open the link: Are there examples of game boards? (with raw-format)

    Links in diagrams

    The links are all opened in a new window for safety reasons (to avoid losing entered text).
    Link on "2" to Sensei's Library
    Link on "4" to DGS-page (short form)
    Link on "a" to external link
    Link on "(img)" to page-relative anchor

     
    Text at side and below diagram (cannot be mixed).

    Text at side of diagram (img) (img)

    Board with short-form edges.
    edge notation "++"

     
    Irregular boards: Strange boards do work, they just require lots of fiddling. Irregular boards are possible, but the syntax of Sensei's Library and DGS are incompatible here as the code-base is different.
