Re: [Chessx-users] Viewing complex PGN files?

[Jens N. <jen...@gm...>]

Once I have Version 1.2.0 done, I want to design a Model-View architecture around the Game class, this would allow us more sophisticated views than HTML.
The way we are currently generating and using HTML will hinder any systematic progress, in addition, the generic output class makes maintenance hard.

These are files with many deeply nested, long variations and subvariations. (Probably 30 or so variations at a depth of 3 or 4 sometimes, around 5-10 moves in some cases. By "depth of 3 or 4" I mean, the main line is depth 0, a subvariation of that at depth 1, a subvariation of that at depth 2, and subvariation of that at depth 3).
