A few months ago Ed made a little tribute page to the project.Thanks :) http://www.edcollins.com/chess/scidvspc/what-is-scid-vs-pc.htm In his bug and wishlist pages, Ed mentions a few bugs: > When I have a game / position loaded on the screen from an active database, > and then I paste in a new FEN position, the player information at the bottom > of the screen does not change. Yes - this can cause problems, and i've made a commit to address this. Paste FEN now saves the current game and creates a new one, which is slightly different behaviour, but probably better. > When I flip the screen and put Black at the bottom, (because I want to > play the Black side) and then click PLAY - COMPUTER-UCI ENGINE, > and attempt to play a game as Black, it's White's clock that ticks down I had a go at fixing this too, and it seems better. > When an engine is analyzing, I think displaying a STOP icon, > to indicate how to STOP the engine, would be more ideal than the > current icon. Likewise, when an engine has been stopped, the icon > would display a green GO icon I'll probably keep the current pause/play buttons. They're not very distinct, i agree, but they're tasteful, and avoid the anglo-centric "stop", "go". > When I select an engine, the engine starts analyzing automatically. > ... > I think it might be best to have this window appear without the engine starting up Hmmm - this will probably stay the way it is too. Quick access to analysis is best. > SCID vs. PC should be more forgiving when it comes to invalid FENs. For example, take the following FEN position: > rnbq1b1r/p1pp1p1p/4k3/1p1NP1p1/2QP1p2/5N2/PP1B1KPP/n6R/ w > (appears on http://membres.multimania.fr/albillo/ajedre2a.htm) The problem with this webpage's FEN is that the first arg ends with a "/", which is probably against the FEN standard. ... But it seems reasonable to remove a trailing "/" from the first arg. > Finally, a user should be able to paste in a FEN position, that contains "FEN:" as the first four characters Yes, this seems reasonable too, and have made these changes. Also note , I've replaced a few of Scid vs. PC's more garish textures with 4 of his. All these minor changes are in subversion. cheers, Steve |

Nice changes. Ed's page is cool. I only found it a couple weeks ago on chess.com forums. What do you mean by "subversion" the only version i see on the site is 4.8. thanks, Teddy On Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 2:18 AM, Steven <ste...@ya...> wrote: > > > A few months ago Ed made a little tribute page to the project.Thanks :) > http://www.edcollins.com/chess/scidvspc/what-is-scid-vs-pc.htm > > In his bug and wishlist pages, Ed mentions a few bugs: > > > When I have a game / position loaded on the screen from an active > database, > > and then I paste in a new FEN position, the player information at the > bottom > > of the screen does not change. > > Yes - this can cause problems, and i've made a commit to address this. > Paste FEN now saves the current game and creates a new one, > which is slightly different behaviour, but probably better. > > > When I flip the screen and put Black at the bottom, (because I want to > > play the Black side) and then click PLAY - COMPUTER-UCI ENGINE, > > and attempt to play a game as Black, it's White's clock that ticks down > > I had a go at fixing this too, and it seems better. > > > When an engine is analyzing, I think displaying a STOP icon, > > to indicate how to STOP the engine, would be more ideal than the > > current icon.

What do you mean by "subversion" > the only version i see on the site is 4.8. Subversion is one of several source code management tools. Others include CVS, Mercurial, Git and Bazaar. Git was developed by Linux and his mates to manage Linux kernel source code and has been adopted by many other projects. CVS is the elder statesman, but is being put out to pasture. -- Santa |

Is possible to upload a game from database to fics in exam mode? It would be nice to improve the babas upload , adding comments & suggested moves as variations when pgn has variations. it would be nice to add to mexaminer (examiner can mexamine acconcio if acconcio is observer) the possibilitie to move with mouse and not only typing on the console. :) ciao e grazie :) |

Dear Santa, for christmas i want a ferrari AND ... :) it would be nice to have an Option start fics connection on startup. It would be nice also to have board window popup when it is your turn to move, so if you are waiting a lagger player or in standard game, you can open other windows and work, and it doesnt matter if you dont have sound-move ON. ciao :) e buon natale. |
