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