Hi in bughouse it's important to be able to communicate with your partner, but normally the games are fast (2-3 min), so interfaces like "thief" have a neat way of clicking on standard messages, like:
http://www.thief-interface.com/target7.html would be cool, to incorporate something similar into the chat window or the main board window, including good highlighting of messages from your partner... I guess the chat stuff could sit below the jail for example and the last message from your partner could be shown below the board. That way you don't have to take your eyes off the board too much ;) Also some message buttons that the user could configure would be nice, we could have those in the normal chat window, things like "thanks for the game" "*handshake*"... Just an idea though and perhaps better to play with these in the gtk version? Just wanted to put these out on the list for discussion... ARUN
