  • nomlib:

    • round up all of the enums defined in nomlib and reorganize
    • replace custom err messages with SDL_GetError() call when possible
    • take nom::priv::FreeSurface, nom::priv::FreeTexture & so on out of priv namespace (leaving said functions at the root of the 'nom' namespace)
    • Convert nomlib/math module into templates (precompiled headers would be a plus, too!)

  • SDL2 Logger

* increase volume on cursor_cancel

* Fix bug in GameOverState with info_box strings longer than the width of the MessageBox

* re-arrange draw & update order in PlayState

* do not show player cursor when player2 is active

* be sure that we are not able to move when in board select mode

* merge in some of the recent GameConfig stuff

- GameConfig
  * Use an array "Scaled values" or such that we can then use to calculate automagically ?
  * provide resource path name (relative)

  * provide resource path type name (relative to resources)

resource paths should be filename only

  * add scale_resources option (instead of scale_factor perhaps) and check this bool result for whether or not to scale from within load time?

  * calculate scaled size from screen resolution from orig scale values from config.json?

  * calculate variable origins at run-time by getProperty & setProperty with new size (assuming origins are always original scale)

  * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6331940/how-to-use-typedef-for-a-generic-class-in-c
  > This is how to do a typedef of what we were trying to do inside GameConfig class

  - Initializing values with scaled_factor (multiplying by two or more)
    * http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/initializer_list
    * http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml?showone=Brace_Initialization#Brace_Initialization
  • nomlib:

    • bmFont docs: file format

    • Current version should be marked v1.0.0 ?

      Review References: SDL_version.h

    • Always free surface pointers of type SDL_Surface* with SDL_FreeSurface, even if they are local scope.

http://sdl.beuc.net/sdl.wiki/SDL_Surface

  - rename:
    * Update, Draw, etc. methods lowercase
    * Coords to Rect?
    * Remove '-inl' suffix from files

* svg reader & writer
* Command-line utility for SpriteSheet generation

* GrayFrame should inherit from IDrawable (remove IFrame) & have MessageBox initialize Gradient as a IDrawable pointer or such
> We might want to look into copy assignment operators for these classes while we are at it ...

  * MenuBox
  > QTreeWidget [Columns, Items] ... <item> [text, iconOn, iconOff, ...]
  > http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qtreewidget-members.html

* make Cursor methods moveCursorUp, moveCursorDown, ... virtual methods to be re-implemented in ttcards?
> http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qabstractitemview.html#CursorAction-enum
> http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qabstractitemview.html#moveCursor

* Integrate Text class into SDL_MessageBox?

* split nomlib up into multiple libs?

* make obtaining joysticks count & name accessor methods?
* make IDrawable inherit from Transformable?

* Finish up fonts example

* Review Font & Text classes further

* Audio Groups? (Similar in concept to Drawables interface)

* icon loader using libicns

  - Crackling OGG music playback bug (experienced in Linux) fix:
    * [SFML Issue #271](https://github.com/LaurentGomila/SFML/issues/271)
    * [SFML Issue #341 ... Alternative Fix](https://github.com/LaurentGomila/SFML/pull/341)
    * [libsndfile note](http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/command.html#SFC_SET_SCALE_FLOAT_INT_READ)

* [Platform architecture detection](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1505582/determining-32-vs-64-bit-in-c)

* no Update method in TrueTypeFont, BitmapFont?
* nomlib / gzip reader (Resources/magic.mgc.gz)
* https://github.com/LaurentGomila/SFML/wiki/Tutorial%3A-Manage-dynamic-key-binding

  - libjson-spirit
    * [C++11 Patch for boost::shared_ptr](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18900730/boostshared-ptrshared-ptrconst-boostshared-ptr-is-implicitly-declared?lq=1)

    * [Patch for boost::shared_ptr](https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/73202)
    * [GCC, clang &  Compatibility](http://clang.llvm.org/compatibility.html#deleted-special-func)

- consider using explicit keyword in classes that inherit (such as MessageBox, Sprite, ...) to prohibit improper class usage

  * http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq/explicit-ctors.html

- version.[cpp|hpp]
  * version.cpp, version.hpp needs to be auto-generated on windows
  * once fixed, we need to re-comment version.[cpp|hpp] in nomlib/.gitignore
  * version.cpp should be added to other branches .gitignore files

Potential design ideas

Could we have cursor object poll available objects or perhaps more so "interested" (think: selected?) objects for their XY coords and if intersection occurs, toggle a value within cursor object to be checked ... on the flip side ( said polled objects ), we could check to see if said cursor object (toggled?) value is set, and if so ... complete an action
