Context Menu.
The menu for choosing different play modes and tools, adding or edit-
ing comments, adding pass moves, or switching between sibling variations.
Play Mode.
Play moves normally on the board. If there are child moves from the
current node, this mode will let you follow variations by simply playing the
first move in the sequence. Unless it is following a variation, this mode will
not allow you to play illegal moves. This is the default mode before another
is set after loading a game or creating a new one.
Add Black Mode.
Add black stones to the board as desired. These stones are not
moves and do not perform captures or count as ko threats.
Add White Mode.
Add white stones to the board as desired. These stones are
not moves and do not perform captures or count as ko threats.
Erase Stone Mode.
Remove stones from the board as desired. These removed
stones are not counted as captured, they are simply removed.
Pass.
Play a single pass move. This does not change the mode of play.
Next Variation.
If the game is at the first move in a variation, this will navigate
to the next variation after the current one. This is the only way to reach
variations which start with adding or removing stones, as you cannot follow
them by “playing” the same move.
Force Play Mode.
The same as Play Mode except that this mode will allow you
to play illegal moves such as retaking a ko immediately without a ko threat,
suicide on rulesets which don’t allow it (including single stone suicide), and
playing a move where there is already a stone.
Mark Mode.
Add generic marks to the board, or remove them.
Circle Mode.
Add circle marks to the board, or remove them.
Square Mode.
Add square marks to the board, or remove them.
Triangle Mode.
Add triangle marks to the board, or remove them.
Label Mode.
Add one character labels to the board. Each label starts at the
letter ‘a’ and each subsequent application of a label will increment the letter.
To remove a label, click on it until it cycles through the allowed letters and
disappears.
Add/Edit Comment.
Add or edit a comment at the current node.
Done.
Go back to the previous screen.
