I took the French translation and replaced everything that looks French to me 
with proper German. Please integrate this translation into the program.

I'm using the app store version, and I'm not sure how to create a private table 
or invite a specific friend to play.

We should improve the network message parsing code.
For example, we should look for the "starting" token of "op=NNN" 
... instead of only looking for the ending token.

Problems
1. Some players instantly reset the match when the game is over.
2. This causes some viewers cannot save the chess match.

Suggestion:
1. A 15-second break can be introduced after the game is over to allow the 
players and the viewer to save some interesting chess match.

The Handicap option is needed so that the stronger player can choose to have  
fewer pieces at the 
opening (e.g., to disable one Knight). The purpose is that the opponent (a 
weaker player) can have a 
better chance to win.

(1) NOTE-1: This feature was first requested by Asnah Bingei.
   (Thank you, Asnah. I appreciate your feedback).
*** According to Asnah , an Xiangqi program that offers this feature is "XieXie 
Freeware 2.5":
       http://www.cc-xiexie.com

(2) NOTE-2: I need to consider the side effects of this feature. For instance, 
how does the Handicap 
option effects the Elo Rating System 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system), which 
PlayXianqi.com server is implementing?

I like to play over several days with friends, can we turn off time limits or 
make them longer?

increase your score quickly without beating people.

We should change the Table-LIST format so that it is consistent with ChessWhiz.
In particular, the Timers should be combined into a single column.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Both players are repeating the same steps. After a few times, the system says 
it's a draw.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The correct rule for repeating steps in Chinese chess is that, it's against the 
rule, and the first player who is repeating the same step is not allowed to do 
it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Tested on 
IOS version.


Please provide any additional information below.

Can check against other Chinese chess implementation.

Dear Developers,

Thank you for creating this great app.

The current version doesn't have the notation system to record the moves. It is 
particularly important to display the notation in the match.

Suggested notation system for a typical opening “中炮对屏风马” 
(Central Cannon vs Screened Horses):

1. C2=5 h8+7
2. H2+3 r9=8
3. R1=2 s7+1
4. R2+6 h2+3

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Download Mac zip file 
2.  Unzip
3.  Attempt to run resulting program and choose "Practice against computer"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect a new table to load.  Instead I get an error message:

dlopen(/Users/jvradel/Downloads/games/testapps/HOXChess.app/Contents/SharedSuppo

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Version 1.0.   Mac OS X 10.5.8

Please provide any additional information below.

Version 0.8 (installed from the installer package) runs fine.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Open Practice Table

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0 Mac OS 10.6.4

Please provide any additional information below.
The phrase "Play with yourself" can have an obscene meaning. A better phrase 
would be "Play against yourself".

While having both side's pieces face you makes them easier to read, I think it 
might be less like a real match, since as far as I know, players usually have 
their own pieces facing themselves. (I might be wrong, though, I'm only just 
beginning to learn the game.)

In addition to the "like a real match" issue, it would also be good for two 
player games on a single device, like with an iPad.

I own a Dell Mini 9 running Ubuntu 10.4 with a maximum screen size of 1024x600. 
The whole board is not visible and hoxchess is therefore unusable.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download the OS X ZIP file
2. start installation
3. all is well until the "Installation" step. 
4. Once that start, it loops forever in "Preparing HOXChess"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

install just never ends.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

latest binary (0.8.0.0) on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch app with 3G network connection (WiFi can be enabled or disabled as 
long as not connected to a wireless access point)
2. App will try connecting and login to server.
3. App crashes. Returned to home screen.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected app to behave as usual. Home screen is seen instead.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
iPhone 4 iOS version 4.1. 

Please provide any additional information below.
If wireless connection is established app behaves as normal.

The default set of Pieces originally comes from VietSon.com.
Thus, the set needs to be removed from this project.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. apt-get install g++ automake wx2.8-headers wx-common libboost-dev kdevelop
2. cd ~/hox_Project/hox_Client
3. LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_CTYPE="C" make -k

I'm using Suse 11 on i386 and HOXChess_src_v0.5.1.0.zip

In hox_client, when trying to make all (after make prepare) I get:
g++ -I/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-ansi-release-2.8 -I/usr/include/wx-2.8

Any advice?

I quite like the iphone version of hoxchess, and some friends and I have been 
using it while we learn to play. In this process, we've ended up having games 
we wanted to show off to one another, and had to wait to start a new game until 
after we showed off our old game.

This is just one reason that saving a game's moves would be nice. I'm sure 
there are others. I'm not sure what format would be best, but maybe using the 
standard xiangqi notation is a good idea?

Also, if you add the ability to save games, then it'd also be nice to have the 
ability to share them (or at least the moves list), maybe by email? Maybe by 
copying to the iphone clipboard?

The Live Xiangqi Commentary is a kind of private messaging (PM).

1. This feature will allow viewers who join the “Table” to express opinions 
about the opening, chess moves, or to exchange views about the chess positional 
play, tactics, and killer moves.

2. The comments are hidden from the two players in the “Table” during the 
entire game. Can opt to display when the game is over.

3. The commentary will increase interactions between other chess players.

Thank you.

It would be very helpful to implement the feature which allows the players to 
Copy information 
from the Chat window.  An useful example is that players often speak different 
languages; however, 
it is now impossible to copy foreign language strings to translate using Google 
Translation, for 
example.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login a server
2. Join an existing table
3. Type the message "hello ; world" and press Enter

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+ "hello ; world" in the Message window

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Please provide any additional information below.

Currently, HOXChess allows a Move which results in a King-facing-King 
situation. This is against 
common Xiangqi rules.

The (next version of) server of PlayXiangqi.com already supports 
Resume-After-Disconnect feature. 
HOXChess should be modified (if required) to handle this new feature.

Note: As of now, HOXChess-1.0 can (partially) support the feature but there are 
some loose-ends 
that need to be taken care of.

hi there, i want to be part of your group, and i already had design for the 
pieces and want to submit them.

thanks and regards

please, its getting annoying trying to build skills in this game when I have to 
start from the beginning all the time

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. running hoxchess executable from outside HOXChess/bin path

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The application should be able to run as normal regardless of where the
executable file is running from. Attempting to run the executable file from
outside HOXChess/bin path resulted in image files and AI plugins not loaded.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm running HOXChess 0.8.0.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)

Sometimes, a black and black screen is displayed instead of a Table/Game when 
Playing-Online.
I have only seen this occurred after I built this iPhone/iPod touch app using 
the older "iPhone Device 
3.0" SDK instead of the latest "iPhone Device 3.1.3" SDK.

A new version 1.39.0 of Boost C++ Libraries was released on May 2nd, 2009. 
HOXChess should be 
upgraded to use this new version.

Also, here are some request from Sebastian (from Hartwork.org):

(1) Consider using the system-wude boost library instead of the "local" one 
(under .lib folder).
(2) Consider using the boost-provided Asio library instead of the local one 
(under .lib folder).

What steps will reproduce the problem?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0 osx 10.5.8

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Log on to PlayXiangqi.com
2. Observe the list of Players window (on the left side)...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+ In the list of Players window, we can see that all online players have 
the "free" (or Blue) status even though many of them are playing. What 
should have happen is that playing Players should be the "busy" (or Red) 
status.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
+ Note: In PlayXiangqi, a player can open/join multiple Tables at the same 
time.

Note: In Chesscape.com, we do not have this issue.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Log in as Guest or a registered player
2. Nothing appears - no board
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No board

It would be nice to be able to easily experiment with different set ups, and to 
be able to turn the AI on and see how it deals with particular set ups.

The string "Table #%s" appears in the GUI and must therefore be translated.

The whole "&Window" menu must be translated.

The string "%s %s ready." must be translated. Or it could be left out 
altogether, since the status bar seems to be used only for displaying this 
string, which is also available via the "&Help" menu.

The contents of the activity window should be translated as far as possible.
