Update TODO

[vchess.git] / TODO

# Enhancements:
On Game page "mconnect" events =>
  send lastate to them (because they have the game infos) or just "your turn" - if their turn
  remember them to send next "newmove" (or just "it's your turn") later - if not their turn
  (=> listen for "mdisconnect" as well, and gameover, and newgame)
From MyGames page: send "mconnect" to all online players (me included: potential multi-tabs)
  When quit, send mdisconnect (relayed by server if no other MyGames tab).

Rematch button (change colors, re-apply randomness params (which should be saved somehow somewhere))
  --> need a bit more duplicated logic: in Game page, listen for newgame, and add a "launchGame" function
Will need a 'rematch' field in Game on server

Put reserve pieces above and below the board. Center them.
Show count of remaining units as a red digit printed on the piece
(can it reach 10? theoretically yes... but then maybe we can just show "0" ?)
Grey "disabled" style for reserve pieces if none available.

# New variants
8-pieces https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ8K02Da7Ps&list=PLRyjH8DPuzTBiym6lA0r84P8N0HnTtZyN&index=6&t=0s

"Capture" Chess (idea of opperwezen, maybe not new): captures are forced,
but the goal is still to checkmate (not lose all material).

Cannibal Chess with forced captures.

Knightrelay: implement "official" version as Knightrelay v1

Antiking: implement v1 (deterministic) https://www.chessvariants.com/diffobjective.dir/anti-king-chess.html

Generator vatiant, called "Matrix" ?
Peces on first rank never move but generate new pieces. Pawn don't generate.
A generator captured and replaced by a similar piece does not generate.
King does not generate. No castling. En passant possible?
Goal is still checkmate.

Take(a)n(d)make : if capture a piece, take its power for the last of the turn and make a move like it.
If a pawn taken: direction of the capturer.

+ Maxima, Interweave, Roccoco, Dynamo, Synchrone

"Ball" Chess: 9x9 board, ball on center square. 2 queens ?
To take the ball when it's free you need to capture it.
To take the ball when it's used, u need to take the piece.
Goal: bring ball to final rank.
Possibles passes : soit à une pièce, soit sur une case.
  --> remplace un déplacement de pièce. Par exemple pion a2 passe à cavalier a4 = 1 coup.
  --> selon le mode de déplacement standard (donc tout droit pour les pions)
Pas de notion d'échec ou de mat (?)
Si une pièce est mat elle donne le ballon (?)
