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

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