Need for disabling takeback (undo) action #319

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I'v got a new feature request to let disable somehow the undo action. Hes
little son learning chess and uses this too often, and will never learn
that this is a no-no in real chess games.

Shouldn't be to hard to do in code, but we need a good way to implement it in 
the
"new game" UI.
An option in the preferences should also be taken into concideration.

What about not doing a GUI for this. Just put it in help files and let people 
edit
config when in need for this. Which should not be very often, I suppose.
This and similar tweaks might be sometimes handy features, but will make UI 
clumsy if
all put into GUI.
Or maybe some "Others" or "Advanced" tab in Settings might be a good spot to 
place
all "non-standard" or "not-expected-to-be-ever-changed-by-most-users" features.

I don't really like "Others" or "Advanced" tabs. I've read some topics about 
them,
and the problem is, that if people have any kind of problem, they'll go and 
look at
them, just to be sure.

We could make it gui-less, but actually I think it is easier to just make a 
checkbox
in the preferences. If we get too many checkboxes at some point, we can go 
rearrange
them.
