Mchess todos

Bugs and testing

• Handle inline TODOs

Web

• Game state console (save/load PGN, modes)
• Log monitor
• Debug console
• Stats (Charts.js)
• Manual analysis board
• Moves clickable (variants, analysis-board)
• select depth for analysis-boards (move-sequences?)
• Turn board
• Turn eboard
• proper PWA boiler plate ('progressive web app')

GUI

• TkInter tests

Agents and main

• PGN-Libraries and ECO handling
• Data import module

Performance

• General latency tests
• ChessLink latency and general event-queue latency tests
• Raspi event queue performance tests

Game mode handling (and Web GUI)

• Consistent game mode handling
• Save PGN on exist and reload (fitting) history on restart
• Dropboxes for oponents
• Analysis buttons
• State machine review

Features and longer-term stuff (post first beta)

• Local tournaments
• more complex multi-agent topologies (e.g. two web agents with different players, remote connections between mchess instances, distributed tournaments) c.f. JSON-Prot.
• MQTT agent
• Mac/Windows bluetooth support for ChessLink
• Elo calc
• (PGN-)Library agent ['https://www.pgnmentor.com/files.html', 'http://caissabase.co.uk/' (scid), https://theweekinchess.com/index.php?q=twic]
• ECO codes (https://github.com/hayatbiralem/eco.json/blob/master/eco.json) MIT license, (https://github.com/niklasf/eco) public domain
• Lichess eval (e.g. https://github.com/cyanfish/python-lichess)
• Checkout PyInstaller https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operating-mode.html
• Define proper agent JSON protocol (Net/JSON-UCI)
• Unit-tests, Travis
• PyPI publication

Done

ChessLink fixes and enhancements

• Javascript mess cleanup

• Move input via chess.js integration (solved without chess.js dependencies)

• Handle USB-reconnect

• Handle Bluetooth-reconnect

• Sync agent states (CL and others) to GUI-clients

• Select look-ahead engine for LED display

• Verify consistent mutex usage

• Current UCI API of python-chess is deprecated. Change to ASYNC engine api.

• Clear analysis of engines on new game or new pos

• Analyse python-chess corruptions (thread race-conditions?)

• Filter duplicate UCI depth messages (esp. lc0)

• Bluetooth LE sometimes fails to connect. Retry strategy does not work (other than restarting)

• Better handling of display of check mate situations with Millennium Board (led king animation?)
