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 - Move keyboard shortcutting and mouse selection into their own
  20   modules
  21
  22 - Use chess-ply-set-keyword wherever keywords are being set now.
  23
  24 - Find a way that regexp-alist entries that only need to fire once are
  25   only scanned once.
  26
  27 - Extend elp.el to do any kind of memory profiling
  28
  29 - Queue up input that comes in from an engine, then process the queue
  30   -- instead of using chess-engine-last-pos
  31
  32 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  33
  34 - Need to implement the "50 moves after irreversible" draw rule
  35
  36 - The game should go inactive once I lose by stalemate/checkmate
  37
  38 - When a clock runs down, indicate this in the modeline, and all the
  39   user to call-flag in order to win on time
  40
  41 - Detect draw/resign/abort/retract, etc., from ICS and common engines
  42
  43 - in chess-engine-filter and chess-ics-filter, if an error is
  44   encountered, skip that line so the same error isn't triggered again
  45
  46 - SPACE to pass, then try to move (against an engine) fails saying
  47   it's not our turn to move
  48
  49 - Add support for adjournments; also, implement this is such a way
  50   that an e-mail or postal game is basically a game that's adjourned
  51   after every move; use BBDB if available
  52
  53 - Allow databases to return a game moniker, which can be used to
  54   reference that game again
  55
  56 - There needs to be much more robustness; it's too easy to get the
  57   game into an unplayable state right now
  58
  59 - Break my dependency on cl
  60
  61 - Use more asserts throughout the code
  62
  63 - Read-only mode needs to be more vigorous.  There's nothing
  64   preventing the user from using M-x commands.
  65
  66 - Complete chess-pgn-mode's automatic entry
  67
  68 - Make any game-modifying commands in a display use C-c C-?
  69
  70 - Use MIME attachments (application/x-chess-pgn) for sending e-mail
  71   chess games back and forth.
  72
  73 - Copy some of ics.el's nicer functionality into chess-ics.el
  74
  75 - Complete the ICS12 parser, based on Mario's comments
  76
  77 - Add support for ICS observing
  78
  79 - Make the mode-line much more informative, with information on who is
  80   playing, etc.
  81
  82 - Use server-side sockets in chess-network, if Emacs supports it
  83
  84 - Allow ASCII displays to use a separate frame
  85
  86 - In edit mode, mouse-2 and mouse-3 should provide a drop-down list of
  87   pieces the square can be set to.  Cursor movement is really not the
  88   best for chess-images.  I still need to figure out how best to
  89   handle cursor-type with that display.
  90
  91 - Still need to test many areas: position editing
  92
  93 - Implement engine options; then, in chess-puzzle set the option that
  94   tells the engine not to resign.
  95
  96 - Remote displays are horribly insecure.
  97
  98 - Resize the chess board on a window resize event, if possible.
  99
 100 - Add chess-game-strip-annotations, for removing all annotations from
 101   a game object
 102
 103 - Let the user specify a default size for the chess-images display
 104
 105 - Port image display code to XEmacs
 106
 107                           Training features
 108
 109 - Allow the opponent to give hints.
 110
 111 - Add a warning mode that will use the results of an analysis to warn
 112   the user (and ask for confirmation) before doing something that
 113   might lead to an inferior position.
 114
 115 - Add a chess tutor program, to teach people how to play chess
 116
 117                           Analysis features
 118
 119 - Add an engine function for obtaining an evaluation of the current
 120   position.  Then, allow M-x chess to startup a non-game oriented
 121   engine, solely for the purpose of submitting position evaluations,
 122   and displaying the result in the modeline.  (Also, look at crafty's
 123   kibitzing feature).
 124
 125 - Add a Map command, that will colorize the squares depending on
 126   whether they are reachable by either side.  Green if reachable by
 127   you, Red if by your opponent, and blue if by both.  With a prefix
 128   argument, colorize only the squares that have pieces on them.  This
 129   is a stable modes that remains in effect until turned off.  It also
 130   requires the ability to pass a color to the chessboard highlighting
 131   routine.
 132
 133 - Using gnuplot-mode, allow evaluation trends to be plotted
 134
 135 - Add an analyze command that will indicate which pieces are defended,
 136   how well, which are attacked, which moves would increase
 137   defense/attack/both, etc.  Basically, everything that can be known
 138   about the current board, and one move ahead (on both sides).
