Smile KinGo: A viewer and editor for the game of Go [Kindle Touch]

Hi everyone,

I've been playing with Javascript for a couple of days now and I'm glad to share a little app with you today. I always wanted to play my favorite game of all times, Go also known as Igo (Chinese traditional name is Weiqi or Weichi) on my Kindle. Now I can.
I want to extend this viewer (loosely based on eidogo) in future but decided to release it as some of you may like it and be useful for you too.

Instructions:
Just extract the zip file into your USB folder (main folder you see when connected with wire)/mnt/us/ and restart your Kindle OR ...
Spoiler:
simply ssh this command:
restart framework

Then you will see KinGo in your GUI Launcher under Games menu.
There are some SGF files in /mnt/us/extensions/games/KinGo/sgf/ and you should load this folder with your own game files.

Download (from my depositfiles account)

The toolbar is on the bottom of screen. You can show/hide some of the control panels so that you can comfortably see the game board. Also, you can open SGF files with the drop down list.

P.S. The version I have is way fancier than what I will attach below but for some reasons (IDK!!!) when ran on Kindle it crashes. Anyways, please let me know what you think, and how we can improve it.

Now let's play Go on the go.
Enjoy it

And by the way, do I have small hands and fingers?! hahahaha but seriously, I wanted to use most of the screen so designed border numbers microscopic, let me know if you like it. The font is a pixel font from dafont.com
