TODO.txt for "tuxmath" 2009.Mar.12 These are the main (difficult) issues we would like to tackle at some point: 1. svg support 2. stand-alone, GUI config/admin program 3. client/server model to support LAN multiplayer play We also need to get SDL_Pango support functioning in the Windows build, if possible. Older stuff: 2007.Oct.08 Build: * Make a relocatable binary for Linux (klik package?) * Refine NSIS installer for Windows (or perhaps executable itself) to create Start Menu link to options.txt file Graphics: * Make game more "themable" (there is a pending request for an "Egyptian" theme with pyramids and an "Islands" theme with palm trees, etc.) * svg support - allow game to draw correctly at any resolution. Interface: * Add more sound effects and music files * Speech mode * Add option for number-keys to control main menu and possible options (for mouseless scenarios where arrow keys might not be the available... is there such a thing as numeric-only keyboards for PCs???) * Implement lockfile to prevent multiple invocations. Game Play: * More entertaining "victory" and "defeat" screens * Add option to review missed questions to end-of-game screens * Add option to play next game using missed questions from current game * End-of-level calculations, bonuses and animations * "Lesson server" with login - keep track of lessons completed, percent correct, etc. on a per-user basis, even if installation doesn't have students log into computers individually. * Multiplayer mode - points go to whoever shoots the comet first. * Re-examine algorithm for spacing of comets (allow game to deliver problems faster even if the comet speed limit is not raised). Documentation: * Finish README.txt * Finish INSTALL.txt Options: * Make use of some of function keys(F1-F12) to toggle settings in-game (perhaps speed control, muting of music) * Save options. * Admin options screen / files * Command-line options based on grade-level (?) * Internationalization - use gettext() for all strings * Install some kind of security on --homedir, to make sure that tuxmath can write but that students can't edit the files by hand? Code: * Optimize graphics blitting!!! * Abstract SDL_BlitSurface() calls Website: * Make something more user-friendly
