Post any resources for blind people playing Go. I have a history family history of late adulthood blindness and I’m trying to learn the resources I’ll need if/when that happens while I am still at least partially sighted. ❧ Edited by MasterOfMagic at 2020-08-04 16:09:242020-08-04 16:09 |

Someone needs to fork Sensei’s Library. ❧ Edited by MasterOfMagic at 2020-08-04 20:28:362020-08-04 20:28 |

I remember it being not great before I even had self awareness. |

I think the point where I decided that Sensi’s Library was beyond redemption was the Nuclear Tesuji page. It just screamed “Go is a manly game for manly men who self destruct and harm others and do stupid shit because testosterone”. It’s like celebrating this story from chess history
This just screams mentally unbalanced, like why would you want that to be the face of your interests? (In all of my time playing chess in college and high school, and even on the Internet after, I have never felt like I was losing to an idiot. If I lost, it was because of some deficiency in my play that I can learn from, not because my opponent “got lucky”.) ❧ Edited by MasterOfMagic at 2020-08-04 21:30:382020-08-04 21:30 |

Oh no, looks like I’m going to have to go to Japan and visit the Nihon Ki-in. |

It would be nice to make some sort of accessible Go app though. There’s a SmartGo Books app that has Go books, so maybe I should see how accessible it is. I’m thinking of a goban app that gives tactile (for vision and auditory impairment) and auditory (for only vision impaired) based on your finger position. Could be interesting. When I was doing some computer vision research back during my undergrad I remember playing around with some code that would take a picture of a goban and build a position diagram based on the picture. It would be cool if you could hold up your phone, take a picture of a goban, get a diagram, and then be able to swipe over it for tactile/auditory feedback. ❧ Edited by MasterOfMagic at 2020-08-05 18:21:422020-08-05 18:21 |
