Known bugs: - some positions show problem in the evaluation algorithm - minishogi repetition rule, different from standard shogi, is not implemented - with no piece on board, computer generates invalid move Target for v1.5: - use ~/.gnushogi for binary book and hash file - make minishogi a run-time option rather than a compile-time one, using the "variant" mechanism of the xboard protocol Generic cleanups - switch cli parsing to getopt - hunt for extern's and prototypes spread all over the source - hunt for more hardcoded variant-specific constants - position of captured pieces in curses mode - compile with bound-checker - add autosave mode to ease hunt for segfaults ? - ? use 2D array for the board, get rid of the (i)nunmap stuff - fixup build procedure to support parallel make runs - investigate those preexisting "overflow in implicit constant conversion" warnings Minishogi-related stuff - minishogi patterns - tune difficulty levels - other tunings to investigate * eval.c has lots of heuristic code specific to standard shogi that probably should not been used * PromotionZoneDistanceBonus * OPENING_HINT - add minishogi stuff to the doc - use valid minishogi moves in online help Improvements - find out why the engine is so weak - make it battle against Mutz-era gnushogi, and other engines, and compare their evaluation results - see what needs updating in book - express available commands as display-dependant, instead of using if(XSHOGI) - make "help" list commands available for current display - make X and raw two different display drivers
