Well, a new year. Since you never know, it may be a lucky year for me.
So, here's my list of "wishes" - some of them I've wished for for a long
time.

First, changes in apparance to make playing some games more enjoyable:

  • Differentiate between 'racing' and 'non-racing' checkers in the
    gammon games where it matters.

  • Highlight captured (but not yet removed) pieces in the various
    checkers and camelot games.

  • In the Frog Finder/Frog Legs, mark squares that have been guessed,
    but do not have a frog.



Wishes that reduce the number of mouse clicks, and hence the number of
server requests:

  • Make shooting the default in Frog Finder/Frog Legs; require only an
    extra click if you want to guess (as shooting occurs far more often
    than guessing). If you make guess/shoot a radio button (with 'guess'
    the default) one never needs two server requests to make a single
    move.

  • Use some Javascript to allow people to select their colours for a
    guess in Logic. This reduces the number of server requests by nine
    for each turn.

  • When setting up a position in (Crazy) Screen Chess, keep the current
    placed piece "active" after placing - if there's still such a piece
    in hand. This allows one to set up their pawns with 9 server requests
    instead of 16 requests.

  • Don't force people to roll the dice in gammon games if they have a
    non-racing checker on the bar, and the opponent keeps their entire
    home blocked with at least 2 checkers on each point (that is, don't
    force the die to be rolled if there's no way a checker can be moved).



Autoplay.

  • A full autoplay (that is, the computer moves (or passes) on behalf of
    the player if the player has just one possible move. Useful for games
    like Ludo, the various Gammon variants, the Checkers variants (with
    their forced capturing), Camelot variants and to a lesser extend for
    the Chess variants.

  • Since the above is unlikely to happen, how about having a button
    "Play forced move" which will be there when you only have one move
    available. Then you can play your forced moves with just one click.

  • Better even, have a button "Play all forced moves" on the main page
    that playes all forced moves.



Tournaments.

  • Being able to create a tournament with "all games", where "all games"
    means "all games as exist when the tournament starts", as
    opposed to the current "all games as exist when the tournament is
    defined". If you have dozens of open tournaments, it takes
    a lot of work to add a game to all the tournaments.

  • Elimination tournaments that allow for a number of players that isn't
    a power of 2. That way, you can have a large elimination tournament
    without having a high risk it gets deleted because you didn't guess the
    number of willing participants correctly.


Messages.

  • I'm only interested in a small fraction of the automated messages I get.
    I can easily do without the message you get when a game in a multi-point
    backgammon match ends (just notify me when the match is finished). I
    don't care whether a next round of a tournament I created starts. I'm
    not interested in the couple of pawns that sign up for a million tournaments
    and get booted off when the tournament starts because they don't have
    enough slots (how about removing pawns from *all* open tournaments when
    they filled up their slots?). I can do without messages about postponed
    or deleted tournaments. I'd like to see some configuration options about
    what kind of automated messages you want to get, and which ones you don't
    want.
