| == Roadmap ==
| |
| ''(Draft, sorted by priority.)''
| |
| | |
| Items with "?" are to be decided upon once we focus the discussion on them. These items might be moved to later phases of development, or removed from the roadmap altogether.
| |
| | |
| === Play games online ===
| |
| # Chess game basics, demonstrated off-line.
| |
| ## Finger friendly UI.
| |
| ### Mechanism to avoid false moves. First tap to point square, second to confirm?
| |
| ### TODO: extract all move mode proposals from thread so we can evaluate them while comparing working examples.
| |
| ## Portrait mode.
| |
| ### TODO: find out why "setAttribute( Qt::WA_Maemo5ForcePortraitOrientation, true); setAttribute( Qt::WA_Maemo5ForceLandscapeOrientation, false);" is not sufficient (used [http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt-x11-maemo git master from here], but it now says: "don't use it". Perhaps [http://qt.gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/x11-maemo/commits/4.6-fremantle-rebased this] just works now?)
| |
| ## Pieces can be moved manually.
| |
| ## Only legal moves are possible.
| |
| ### Option to highlight legal moves?
| |
| ### TODO: draw a sequence diagram or similar to demonstrate the necessary interactions between remote server, our game component, and the board representation. Also indicate how the user is notified.
| |
| ## "Black/White Wins!" banner after a match.
| |
| ## Resign.
| |
| ## Pawn promotion, piece selection.
| |
| ### Queen auto-promotion?

| |
| ## Search challengers / by time
| |
| ## Propose a game
| |
| ## [http://www.freechess.org/Help/HelpFiles/timeseal.html Timeseal] support.
| |
| # Online chess advanced
| |
| ## Join tournaments
| |
| ## Full access to FICS console (might make sense only in landscape mode)
| |
| | |
| === Chat with your opponent ===
| |
| # Landscape support.
| |
| | |
| === Customization ===
| |
| # Download and select different boards and pieces.
| |
| # Download and select different engines.
| |
| | |
| === Methods of connectivity to play against human ===
| |

| === Recording to log, playing back a log ===
| |
| Display games by you or others, live or stored
| |
| | |
| Low priority: [http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=364101&postcount=58 Chessmonk] is concentrating on this for Maemo 5 => not that urgent for Miniature)
| |
| # History of an opening.
| |
| # Take a picture of a printed game, process the notations with OCR and display it.

|
| |
|
| == Technology selections == | | === Miniature 0.5 release === |
| How to make the most from existing free projects avoiding forking and duplicated work as much as possible.
| |
|
| |
|
| * Qt 4.6 for UI layer. The goal is to have Maemo as primary development platform, aiming for straight ports to Symbian and other Qt compatible platforms.
| | Tasks COMMITTED for Miniature 0.5. |
| ** Can we save work by looking at [http://pacaq.sourceforge.net/ pacaq] and [http://knights.sourceforge.net/ Knights]? Others? --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:22, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
| |
| * What starting point to get the online chess features?
| |
| * What starting point for chatting?
| |
| ** TP connection manager: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Components
| |
| *** Qt 4.6 wrapper (http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/TapiocaQt) might be a good idea to look at.
| |
| ** Rationale: I would like to see a "I play chess!" tag next to each contact I have. This information would of course have to come from a central server or such. Also, it would be great if we could just re-use the chat functionality that is already there with maemo5 (of course it needs a modified view to fit into our UI) --[[User:mikhas|mikhas]].
| |
| * What starting point for game analysis?
| |
| ** [http://scid.sourceforge.net/ Scid] ([http://packages.debian.org/lenny/scid see dependencies]) would be nice by itself and as gateway to [http://www.craftychess.com/ Crafty] ([http://packages.debian.org/lenny/crafty see dependencies]) and other engines.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:22, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
