-Note: Controversial list of things currently broken and controversial
-solutions for them.
+SuperTux TODO
+=============
-Coding Standard
-===============
+This is a list of tasks and issues that might be worth to implement or
+fix. This list is however not an authorative list of things that must
+be done, its a collection of random things that pop up during
+development, therefore not everything in here might be well thought
+out or worth to implement. Use your brain before implementing anything
+on this list and always think about how useful a new feature would be
+in the context of the whole game or if a potential performance
+enhanchment, actually enhanchmes anything at all.
-* use SCons instead of CMake
+Coding Standard Stuff
+=====================
* make code clean: "-O2", "-g3",
"-ansi",
"-Winit-self", # only works with >= -O1
"-Wno-unused-parameter",
-* do not use raw pointer, especially not for Sprite and Surface
-
-* only do one variable initialization per line, not multiple as its
- currently often done in initialization list
-
* remove overuse of multi-inheritance
* remove overuse of friend'ship
* split files with multiple classes into multiple files with one class each
-* switch to using SqPlus for squirrel bindings
+* static vs anonymous namespace
-* implement basic graphics in SDL 1.3 and only special eye-candy in OpenGL
+* check the code with Valgrind
+* use Vector in Physics for 'a' and 'v'
-TODO
-====
+* replace random generator with mersene twister and/or move to external/
-* GameObject::RemoveListenerListEntry: Ughs, somebody trying to
- implement a list class within in the GameObject?!
+* write/finish scripts for include sorting and include guard checking that
+ can be run automatically
-* replace random generator with mersene twister and/or move to external/
+* md5.hpp and random_generator.hpp could go to external/
-* check the code with Valgrind
+* write scripts to automatically check for:
-* static vs anonymous namespace
+ - all includes are relative to top level dir
-* use Vector in Physics for 'a' and 'v'
+ - include guards are proper
+
+TODO
+====
+
+* GameObject::RemoveListenerListEntry: Ughs, somebody trying to
+ implement a list class within in the GameObject?!
* add --datadir DIR (data/) and --userdir DIR (~/.supertux/)
the menu background will grow and be visible that way for a fraction
of a second
-* write scripts for include sorting and include guard checking that
- can be run automatically
-
-* md5.hpp and random_generator.hpp could go to external/
-
* rename Vector -> Vector2f
* get rid of global SDL_Screen* screen variable
* resolution menu entry moves the wrong way around
-* write scripts to automatically check for:
-
- - all includes are relative to top level dir
-
- - include guards are proper
-
-* move SVN to http://code.google.com (maybe one day)
-
-* move bugtracker to http://code.google.com (much simpler, less useless)
-
* having dictionary_manager in Lisp is extremely ugly
* enforce proper naming of files to match their class
* implement PNG screenshot
* GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two returns 1 on MatroxG450, while it
- returns "Missing" in glew info, something wrong
+ returns "Missing" in glewinfo, something wrong
* having hitbox in Sprite is fugly
* implement surface and/or sprite scaling (MipMaps?)
+* add code that compares the last Log line with the current, if they
+ are the same reject them and just output something like:
+
+ * last line has been repeated X times
+
+* file naming is inconsistent: some times we use '_' to separate
+ words, sometimes we don't
+
+* implement: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html
+
+* workaround for Ubuntu pulseaudio/OpenAL brokeness:
+
+$ cat ~/.alsoftrc
+drivers = oss
+
+* peaking up/down doesn't work properly
+
+* peaking left/right should make Tux look into that direction (up/down to, needs new sprites)
+
+* add pipe graphics that makes a 90 degree turn
+
+* keep possible future SDL1.3 upgrade in mind
+
+* cleanup scripting interface
+
+Subversion->Git/Mercurial/Bzr Move
+==================================
+
+* right now a switch doesn't seem to be worth it
+
+* core issue right now isn't SVN, but old SVN version on lethargik.org
+ (lacks merge tracking and issues with viewvc)
+
+* cleanup SVN to make import into other version control systems possible:
+
+ - Should we merge trunk/supertux-milestone1 and trunk/supertux when switching to Git/Hg/...?
+
+Mistakes: incorrect branch creation: r5201-5207

+Potential Git Issues
+====================
+
+* lack of sparse/narrow/shallow checkout, this means initial checkout
+ will be 200MB instead of 100MB
+
+* no free hoster that allows >1GB repositories (haven't checked all,
+ but those I did came out way short) -> could use lethargik.org
+
+* some free hosters that might allow >1GB repositories don't allow
+ having multiple repositories
+
+* git submodule doesn't seem to be quite ready to replace our
+ trunk/supertux, trunk/supertux-editor, trunk/media/, ... layout as
+ it for example doesn't support automatic tracking of HEAD from the
+ remote repositories, it also feels rather hacky and not properly
+ integrated into git
+
+* lack of metadata versioning, if you delete a branch in git that you
+ haven't merged, then its gone after the next gc/repack (+ two weeks
+ time limit it seems), in SVN on the other side you can checkout the
+ way the tree was at a specific date, its impossible to lose history
+ unless you hack the repository
