code.delx.au - gnu-emacs-elpa/blob - TODO

   1 - Feature work remaining:
   2
   3   2.0
   4     clocks
   5     annotations
   6     chatting
   7   2.x
   8     display/database tie-in
   9     analysis/highlight tools
  10     bughouse/crazyhouse
  11
  12 - Fix highlighting in chess-plain when chess-plain-spacing is set.
  13   chess-coord needs to be applied to a larger area, and also the way
  14   highlight locations are found needs to be recalculated.
  15
  16 - The highlighting code is broken for a different reason.  I'm
  17   thinking about changing all of the highlighting functions to USE
  18   properties in order to find out where the highlighting region should
  19   begin.
  20
  21 - Move keyboard shortcutting and mouse selection into their own
  22   modules
  23
  24 - the game should go inactive once I lose by stalemate/checkmate
  25
  26 - when a clock runs down, indicate this in the modeline, and all the
  27   user to call-flag in order to win on time
  28
  29 - parse out the time strings from ICS
  30
  31 - detect draw/resign/abort/retract, etc., from ICS and common engines
  32
  33 - in chess-engine-filter and chess-ics-filter, if an error is
  34   encountered, skip that line so the same error isn't triggered again
  35
  36 - SPACE to pass, then try to move (against an engine) fails saying
  37   it's not our turn to move
  38
  39 - Add support for adjournments; also, implement this is such a way
  40   that an e-mail or postal game is basically a game that's adjourned
  41   after every move; use BBDB if available
  42
  43 - Allow databases to return a game moniker, which can be used to
  44   reference that game again
  45
  46 - There needs to be much more robustness; it's too easy to get the
  47   game into an unplayable state right now
  48
  49 - Break my dependency on cl
  50
  51 - Use more asserts throughout the code
  52
  53 - Read-only mode needs to be more vigorous.  There's nothing
  54   preventing the user from using M-x commands.
  55
  56 - Complete chess-pgn-mode's automatic entry
  57
  58 - Make any game-modifying commands in a display use C-c C-?
  59
  60 - Use MIME attachments (application/x-chess-pgn) for sending e-mail
  61   chess games back and forth.
  62
  63 - Copy some of ics.el's nicer functionality into chess-ics.el
  64
  65 - Complete the ICS12 parser, based on Mario's comments
  66
  67 - Add support for ICS observing
  68
  69 - Make the mode-line much more informative, with information on who is
  70   playing, etc.
  71
  72 - Use server-side sockets in chess-network, if Emacs supports it
  73
  74 - Allow ASCII displays to use a separate frame
  75
  76 - In edit mode, mouse-2 and mouse-3 should provide a drop-down list of
  77   pieces the square can be set to.  Cursor movement is really not the
  78   best for chess-images.  I still need to figure out how best to
  79   handle cursor-type with that display.
  80
  81 - Still need to test many areas: position editing
  82
  83 - Implement engine options; then, in chess-puzzle set the option that
  84   tells the engine not to resign.
  85
  86 - Remote displays are horribly insecure.
  87
  88 - Resize the chess board on a window resize event, if possible.
  89
  90 - Add chess-game-strip-annotations, for removing all annotations from
  91   a game object
  92
  93 - Let the user specify a default size for the chess-images display
  94
  95 - Port image display code to XEmacs
  96
  97                           Training features
  98
  99 - Allow the opponent to give hints.
 100
 101 - Add a warning mode that will use the results of an analysis to warn
 102   the user (and ask for confirmation) before doing something that
 103   might lead to an inferior position.
 104
 105 - Add a chess tutor program, to teach people how to play chess
 106
 107                           Analysis features
 108
 109 - Add an engine function for obtaining an evaluation of the current
 110   position.  Then, allow M-x chess to startup a non-game oriented
 111   engine, solely for the purpose of submitting position evaluations,
 112   and displaying the result in the modeline.  (Also, look at crafty's
 113   kibitzing feature).
 114
 115 - Add a Map command, that will colorize the squares depending on
 116   whether they are reachable by either side.  Green if reachable by
 117   you, Red if by your opponent, and blue if by both.  With a prefix
 118   argument, colorize only the squares that have pieces on them.  This
 119   is a stable modes that remains in effect until turned off.  It also
 120   requires the ability to pass a color to the chessboard highlighting
 121   routine.
 122
 123 - Using gnuplot-mode, allow evaluation trends to be plotted
 124
 125 - Add an analyze command that will indicate which pieces are defended,
 126   how well, which are attacked, which moves would increase
 127   defense/attack/both, etc.  Basically, everything that can be known
 128   about the current board, and one move ahead (on both sides).
