@brianonguitar Wow, interesting! Didn’t expect that to happen that soon. Just skimmed the paper so far; intrigued by the approach they’ve taken, analyzing both from start forward and from end back.

Note that I’m rarely on Xitter these days, you can find me posting more on Mastodon.

My apps are back! The issue was apparently due to some error with the agreements that Apple had not seen before. Enjoy the updated SmartGo One on iOS! (Still working on the rejected Mac version.)

More details on the App Store snafu:

I’m open to any suggestions as to how to resolve this situation more quickly than just waiting for Apple.

[Anders Kierulf @smartgo]

Fun day today. Apple removed my apps from the store because they think my developer membership has expired, and that I have not accepted the latest agreements. Of course, I have confirmation from Apple that my membership is up to date. Waiting for them to call me ...

Richard Bozulich (Kiseido) has started a new website with instructional articles about go.

https://t.co/JD0dvrJifS

Three interesting articles so far. Ignore the slightly dated look of the website; when I’m 85+ years old, my website may not be up to the newest standards either.

GoGoD pro game collection in SmartGo One has been updated with over 700 more games (thanks to John Fairbairn). Looks like the feature telling you about the new games is working as it should.
