Title: When somebody accepts a challenge, there should be Post by PhilomathBret on Oct 27th, 2009, 10:41pm something more noticeable to notify you. A flashing window in the toolbar (like with ICC) would be nice. I don't want to have to constantly check the Open Games or my e-mail. Also, I think you should be able to auto-cancel all of your other pending challenges once you start playing a game. This should be a setting you can change. |

Title: Re: When somebody accepts a challenge, there shoul Post by Fritzlein on Oct 28th, 2009, 6:14am At one point I would invite others to play me by creating a game at which anybody could sit down. However, I no longer do that because when someone else sits down at my game, I am not notified. I would prefer to be doing something else on the computer while waiting for an opponent, rather than sitting there watching an open game window. So now I just turn my invite flag on and wait. |

Title: Re: When somebody accepts a challenge, there shoul Post by Fritzlein on Oct 28th, 2009, 2:23pm I am delighted that the benchmark of comparison for Arimaa.com is ICC, a for-profit company with a full-time staff and thousands of paying members. Arimaa is aiming to be the next chess, and folks are implicitly accepting the goal as a reasonable one. Hurray for Arimaa! :) |

Ah, well I was certainly pointing out that the ICC is a lofty standard of comparison for Arimaa.com, but I'm not at all disappointed that the expectations are high. I, too, would like to see many of the features here that I got used to on ICC. We will get there in time, I trust, because Arimaa is just that good a game. |

Title: Re: When somebody accepts a challenge, there shoul Post by omar on Oct 29th, 2009, 10:33pm It would be nice if the game window automatically opened up and played some sound when somebody accepts a challenge. Off hand I'm not quite sure how to implement this, but I'll think about it. These kind of features are easier to implement when you have a persistent connection to a game server like what ICC and FICS use. Is anyone familiar with running a chess server? |

Building that kind of stuff is a lot of work. It would be much easier to add Arimaa to ICC or FICS instead :-) |
