Re: [Scidvspc-users] Review game/"guess the move" mode?

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

It's an interesting feature alright :)

But omg Pascal's UI is a mess. A heap of progressbars coming and going,
configuration widgets left permanently on-screen. No help item of course.(?)
Also, I do not care to make wholesale use of the themed ttk:: widgets

The problems i have are
* 5 seconds for a computer to evaluate a GM's moves !?
(See the attached screenshot, i played a move eval = 0, which was rejected,
however
the 'Game move's score' which i *guess* is Kramnik's move, is evaluated as
much worse -0.6...
but i think i must be mistaken somewhere here..)
* The interface is a just a total mess.
* It has a few hooks in other parts of scid... and do we need another new
feature ?

But you are welcome to have a go at porting the feature. If it works i'll
include it as a patch.
Maybe one day down the line i'll/you/someone-else will like it enough to
give it a decent help file
and some polish and we'll include it properly.

Cheers, Steven
