+ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> is an ideal

+ <br/><br/></par>
+ <par><em>Deliverables.</em>
+ By mid-term it will be possible to play Pac-Man in Toss in command

+ <section title="Idea: Game Design made Comfortable">
+ <par><em>Description and Goals.</em>
+ If you are passionate for interfaces, you see clearly that there
+ is work for you in Toss. The stand-alone GUI, made in python and Qt4,
+ differs significantly from the web interface. And more complex games
+ are written in a text editor anyway, in a syntax which could also see
+ some improvements. The goal is to make one interface to take the best
+ of these all and make it the preferred choice for Toss.
+ <br/><br/></par>
+ <par><em>Deliverables.</em>
+ The web interface will be extended to allow textual definitions of
+ new games by mid-term, including a possibility to test the game
+ before publishing it to friends or to everyone. Before the end,
+ basic functions of the GUI such as separate editing of rules and
+ changing relations, elements and positions will work online.
+ <br/><br/></par>
+ <par><em>Modules (in planned construction order).</em>
+ <enumerate>
+ <item>Make game list dynamic in the web interface</item>
+ <item>Allow users to add new games by uploading .toss files</item>
+ <item>Separate tab or page for game editing, simple text form</item>

+ <item>Define a new game with the created interface, is it usable?</item>
+ </enumerate>
+ <br/></par>
+ <par><em>Needed Skills and Difficulty.</em>
+ OCaml skills are not required for this project, as it concerns mostly
+ web programming and interface design. But being easy from technical
+ point of view does not make it really easy – a good feeling for
+ interface design is necessary, and a lot of testing to make it right.

+ <section title="Idea: Fast Optimizing Solver">
+ <par><em>Description and Goals.</em>
+ The solver in Toss is no slouch, but it could be better.
+ Formulas should be compiled to a more optimized form,
+ possibly using relation size statistics. Structures should
+ be optimized for memory footprint and these together for
+ cache coherency – maybe with some parts rewritten in C.
+ Dynamics calculations should be moved nearer to the structure.
+ <br/><br/></par>
+ <par><em>Deliverables.</em>
+ By mid-term, the compilation of formulas for the solver will be optimized
+ and cleaned-up, with a separate module not using the current TNF. By the
+ end, the structure module will be optimized and dynamics calculations
+ moved there from the current Term module.
+ <br/><br/></par>
+ <par><em>Modules (in planned construction order).</em>

+ <item>Written detailed design of new compilation module</item>
+ <item>New formula compilation functions and unit tests</item>

+ <br/></par>
+ <par><em>Needed Skills and Difficulty.</em>
+ This project is technical and requires very good understanding

+ <section title="Idea: GGP Competition and Cooperation">
+ <par><em>Description and Goals.</em>
+ General Game Playing, GGP, is a name for the task of playing a game
+ given as input. Recently, Toss gained a module to translate games
+ defined in GDL, the Game Description Language used in GGP Competitions,
+ to the Toss format. This allows to compete against GGP players, and we
+ even won quite a few games already! But the GGP translation is not
+ complete and some games are translated to very inefficient variants,
+ on which it is almost impossible to play well. The idea is to improve
+ this, but also to cooperate with the GGP guys, especially with the
+ <a href="http://code.google.com/p/ggp-galaxy/">GGP Galaxy Project</a>,
+ to make General Game Playing truly accessible for everyone!
+ <br/><br/></par>
+ <par><em>Deliverables.</em>
+ Toss GGP translation module will be improved by mid-term to handle
+ standard Toss games well enough so that the manual translation code
+ can be removed. By the end, the majority of games in GDL will translate
+ well and will be made usable from the web interface.
+ <br/><br/></par>
+ <par><em>Modules (in planned construction order).</em>
+ <enumerate>
+ <item>Enrich Toss formulas with fixed-points (medium, needed)</item>
+ <item>Generalize GGP translation using fixed-points (medium)</item>
+ <item>Improve readability of translated games, test, debug</item>
+ <item>Add some position detection or layouting to the translation</item>
+ <item>Adapt web interface to be usable with translated games</item>
+ </enumerate>
+ <br/></par>
+ <par><em>Needed Skills and Difficulty.</em>
+ The GDL translation is not that hard in principle, but turns out to be
+ quite tricky in practice. Good knowlede of OCaml is necessary, and some
+ previous knowledge of GGP/GDL or Prolog would be good. But passsion
+ for GGP is the best recommendation for this project!
