Update 0.24.0 - New Casual AI & Small Screen Improvements
New Features
- New Casual AI
- A new AI opponent has been added which is aimed at beginner and novice players and has a strength level which is weaker than GNU Go.
- Like the other AIs, it has options for level 1 through 10.
- A new difficulty level called "Casual" has been added to both the campaign and quick play menus, which features the Casual AI as the opponent and is placed below the existing "Beginner" difficulty.
- Players primarily focused on training may still find benefit in learning from GNU Go's more competent moves during handicap matches, but the Casual AI may provide a more fun experience with less reliance on handicap stones to even the skill gap.

Updates
- Improved text legibility of commonly used areas and functionality which was previously difficult to read on smaller screen sizes, such as the Steam Deck.
Fixes
