Post games not in database

I've made an improvement so you can now post a game to analyze with a move list and ability to traverse the moves, even if the game is not in the database.

Hey, this is great! Thanks for posting instructions in an easy to find place also.
There was one version of code that I had not seen before which allows you to specify positions for black stones, white stones and number of captured stones seperately. A great side effect of this is that it is possible to post "pente puzzles" using this code, since tournament rules are not enforced and equal number of stones are not enforced either! Of course, this feature probably should not be abused for this purpose in a forum and any half-way decent puzzles should probably end up in the Puzzle section instead of buried in a forum -- but it's still a neat feature.

Yes you are correct up2ng, it is a great way to show puzzles in the forums and I encourage users to do so if they are interested in puzzles.
Eventually I would like to create an application to create all of these boards with a nice user interface instead of having to specify the moves with coordinates, and to support placing puzzles in the puzzle area instead of here.
But that is a ways off, and at least we can do it here in the forums for now.

Dweebo, do the applets only initialize for this feature in the analysis section or did my second attempt fail for a different reason? I tried to add to this thread and got an applet not initialized message, unlike here, where it worked for me...

You got it zoeyk. And yeah, P5 wasn't needed. It was sort of left over from a previous iteration and I left it in cuz it looked better and gave me a fun title, haha. Technically, in a true Pente puzzle, every stone should actually play a role in the solution, and yet be deceiving at the same time.
