Convert PyChess to "Perspectives"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

pychess version: stauntun 0.10alpha2

somehow merge the Login window, game window, and search panel window for
easier use. The game window already takes over the login window. Maybe make
the login window turn into the search window once logged in?

I wonder if it is possible to do it all in one window...

Login Window -> FICS window -> Game window

when game finished: Game window -> back to FICS Window

Yes, check out this screenshot from the secret very early builds of PyChess 1.0.
It will have 'perspectives' like Current Games, FICS, Users and Engines, 
Database,
Tournaments, Excercises and many more.

Tamas and I had the following IM chat which was in regards to the new "Analyze 
Game" menu feature:

(Me):
I tried the Analyze Game feature. The dialog is the right way to start the 
process, I think, but, I don't think it should open a gamewidget until the 
analysis is finished. I think it should be a sort of "task" that starts, maybe 
in an infobar message type of widget, that would allow you to check progress, 
but without all the features of a normal gamewidget. Then when analysis is 
finished it could allow you to step through the game and see the analysis for 
each move
And "check analysis process" widget would be locked down so the user can't 
interfere with the analysis process by clicking on a piece or a previous move 
that would interrupt the analysis and confuse the user
The interim widget with "analysis started..." would allow you to stop and/or 
pause the analysis or maybe even change some of the parameters. Some mockups 
might be good
I'm glad this is getting worked on. Nice job :)

Tamás Bajusz
what do you think about disabling gamewidget interactions while analyzis is 
running? I like to see how the analyzis stepping through on game, moving pieces 
and showing analyzis values, etc.

Matthew Gatto
Yeah that's what I meant. The board widget would be locked but you could still 
check analysis progress by clicking on moves in the game that have already been 
analyzed
And without interrupting analysis progress of course

Tamás Bajusz
hmm, but now clicking on a move on annotation panel (or any other panels) 
triggers the analyzer to change the board he analyzing

Matthew Gatto
You'd need a custom gamewidget and a new panel based on a combination of the 
Hint panel, the initial Analyze Game widget, with controls for stopping and 
pausing analysis as I mentioned above
Right, the custom Analyze Game gamewidget would have different panels then a 
normal gamewidget
And clicking on moves wouldn't effect analysis process, it would only show you 
what, if any, analysis the analyzer found for that position
Sorry, I meant, The initial Analyze Game dialog, not widget, in my above message
