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 use of the new chess-incr-index*, which does no checks
  14
  15 - Fix highlighting in chess-plain when chess-plain-spacing is set.
  16   chess-coord needs to be applied to a larger area, and also the way
  17   highlight locations are found needs to be recalculated.
  18
  19 - Change all of the highlighting functions to use properties to find
  20   out where the highlighting region should begin.
  21
  22 - Move keyboard shortcutting and mouse selection into their own
  23   modules
  24
  25 - Use chess-ply-set-keyword wherever keywords are being set now.
  26
  27 - Find a way that regexp-alist entries that only need to fire once are
  28   only scanned once.
  29
  30 - Extend elp.el to do any kind of memory profiling
  31
  32 - Queue up input that comes in from an engine, then process the queue
  33   -- instead of using chess-engine-last-pos
  34
  35 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  36
  37 - Need to implement the "50 moves after irreversible" draw rule
  38
  39 - The game should go inactive once I lose by stalemate/checkmate
  40
  41 - When a clock runs down, indicate this in the modeline, and all the
  42   user to call-flag in order to win on time
  43
  44 - Detect draw/resign/abort/retract, etc., from ICS and common engines
  45
  46 - in chess-engine-filter and chess-ics-filter, if an error is
  47   encountered, skip that line so the same error isn't triggered again
  48
  49 - SPACE to pass, then try to move (against an engine) fails saying
  50   it's not our turn to move
  51
  52 - Add support for adjournments; also, implement this is such a way
  53   that an e-mail or postal game is basically a game that's adjourned
  54   after every move; use BBDB if available
  55
  56 - Allow databases to return a game moniker, which can be used to
  57   reference that game again
  58
  59 - There needs to be much more robustness; it's too easy to get the
  60   game into an unplayable state right now
  61
  62 - Break my dependency on cl
  63
  64 - Use more asserts throughout the code
  65
  66 - Read-only mode needs to be more vigorous.  There's nothing
  67   preventing the user from using M-x commands.
  68
  69 - Complete chess-pgn-mode's automatic entry
  70
  71 - Make any game-modifying commands in a display use C-c C-?
  72
  73 - Use MIME attachments (application/x-chess-pgn) for sending e-mail
  74   chess games back and forth.
  75
  76 - Copy some of ics.el's nicer functionality into chess-ics.el
  77
  78 - Complete the ICS12 parser, based on Mario's comments
  79
  80 - Add support for ICS observing
  81
  82 - Make the mode-line much more informative, with information on who is
  83   playing, etc.
  84
  85 - Use server-side sockets in chess-network, if Emacs supports it
  86
  87 - Allow ASCII displays to use a separate frame
  88
  89 - In edit mode, mouse-2 and mouse-3 should provide a drop-down list of
  90   pieces the square can be set to.  Cursor movement is really not the
  91   best for chess-images.  I still need to figure out how best to
  92   handle cursor-type with that display.
  93
  94 - Still need to test many areas: position editing
  95
  96 - Implement engine options; then, in chess-puzzle set the option that
  97   tells the engine not to resign.
  98
  99 - Remote displays are horribly insecure.
 100
 101 - Resize the chess board on a window resize event, if possible.
 102
 103 - Add chess-game-strip-annotations, for removing all annotations from
 104   a game object
 105
 106 - Let the user specify a default size for the chess-images display
 107
 108 - Port image display code to XEmacs
 109
 110                           Training features
 111
 112 - Allow the opponent to give hints.
 113
 114 - Add a warning mode that will use the results of an analysis to warn
 115   the user (and ask for confirmation) before doing something that
 116   might lead to an inferior position.
 117
 118 - Add a chess tutor program, to teach people how to play chess
 119
 120                           Analysis features
 121
 122 - Add an engine function for obtaining an evaluation of the current
 123   position.  Then, allow M-x chess to startup a non-game oriented
 124   engine, solely for the purpose of submitting position evaluations,
 125   and displaying the result in the modeline.  (Also, look at crafty's
 126   kibitzing feature).
 127
 128 - Add a Map command, that will colorize the squares depending on
 129   whether they are reachable by either side.  Green if reachable by
 130   you, Red if by your opponent, and blue if by both.  With a prefix
 131   argument, colorize only the squares that have pieces on them.  This
 132   is a stable modes that remains in effect until turned off.  It also
 133   requires the ability to pass a color to the chessboard highlighting
 134   routine.
 135
 136 - Using gnuplot-mode, allow evaluation trends to be plotted
 137
 138 - Add an analyze command that will indicate which pieces are defended,
 139   how well, which are attacked, which moves would increase
 140   defense/attack/both, etc.  Basically, everything that can be known
 141   about the current board, and one move ahead (on both sides).
