For those of you following ChessNET, I just want to let you guys know that i'll try to stick with development on this project. I'm already working on a second release that should be out in a few weeks. There's a lot of problems to cleanup.
Proposed Changes for Release 2:UserID and Password SystemInstead of the hideous user ID system, i'll be replacing it with a true login system. Usernames and passwords may be up to 16 characters long, and will be autosaved to the FAT system for easy access. This also allows non-FAT supporting devices to play online too - They just have to enter their login information each time. But it's better than nothing.
Implementing Remaining RulesI'll have Castling and En Passant in for the next release, I hope. I don't see why not.
Various Network ErrorsThere's some sort of funky buffer error i'm hunting down that occurs on long game lists. There's a glitch that causes games to end on a simple 'check' (not checkmate), Etc. I have a lot of bugs to hunt down.
Improved Game ListSo it'll be easier to navigate and frankly, look much better. Icons will be placed next to each game listing, which will allow the stylus on that screen. Instead of the page scroll, it'll be split into 'pages'. Left/Right on the D-Pad and icons at the bottom of the screen allow page navigation.
Game Loading ScreenRight now, when you select a game from the list, it fades to white, gets the game data, and fades the board in. But if the client hangs while getting the data, you're stuck at a white screen with no idea of what's going on. I need to create a screen to reflect the download status, so you know it's still working.
There's some more various touchup stuff, but that's the bulk of the changes for release 2, hopefully.
