Update Beta Branch 0.2.0 - OGS Online Play

[Hart Laboratories]

This is a beta branch only update. You will need to opt in, detail below.

There are now the basics to play using an account from http://Online-Go.com (OGS), a community of almost 400,000 players. Accounts are free and it is an English website with a modern interface so it seemed like a really good fit.

Due to the likely-hood for issues, PLEASE don't use an account where the record is important to you yet. If you only create games and don't join, they will be un-ranked which should help avoiding account losses.

Please post any issues with the beta in the 'Roadmap, Suggestions & Bugs' community group discussion forum.

This update does not change how the tutorial or AI games play as far as the stone removal phase.

Keep in Mind

• Time systems are limited to Byo-Yomi and Absolute.
  
• Games limited to size 7, 9, 13, 19.
  
• All games posted use the AGA rule set and are un-ranked. Games you join may be ranked and there is no indicator yet.
  
• Score information breakdown does not currently display correctly on Client. The final score at the top of the game at completion is correct.
  
• Breaks playing with Steam Friends.

To opt in right click on Ancient Go in your library, go to 'Properties', go to the 'Betas' tab, and select 'Beta' from the drop down. Then go to the 'Local Files' tab and click 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache'. You should see the download start at that point.

If you will be playing online a lot, consider becoming an OGS site supporter as they are not affiliated with Ancient Go. Their servers rely on those memberships and browser ad revenue. The OGS admins have been extremely helpful getting Ancient Go connected. Big thank you to them.
