The socket ID isn't consistent; for example when the servers crashes and restarts, the socket ID changes client-side even though the user is able to reconnect.

The main place where this is used is io.js (specifically gameSeatToSocket), but there may be other places as well.

All timers should stop changing once the game is finished

Store the end time of the game when it finishes

Users should have max of two seats, and only on the same side. Likely also want to limit the number of different games to join simultaneously.

Right now the alerts pop up and block all other actions, and they even come up before the chess boards are fully loaded and block the loading.

Might want some kind of space right above the boards for status.

• Running out of time -- the timer can make an alerting noise
• Check
• Piece drop

For example, a server restart would currently lose seat information (not saved to DB) and chat history (not loaded from DB).

Things that need to be included here:

• Who is sitting in which seat (currently only server-side)
• Chat history (currently saved in the DB but not loaded from it)

To do these two things, just need to load the objects gameSeatToName and chatsForGame on server start.

• Lobby chat
• Show a game in progress (if there is one?)
• Something less ugly than a list of numbers
• For each game show the user who started the game and the list of players who are currently sitting on each team
• Need to track who started each game: on the first call to db.loadGame, need to add the game creator when calling saveGame

Right now you can still see the private games in the "new games" list

Taps and drags too

register.js can't find the function doesUserExist.

People might not be aware of the timer and the piece bank.

Could add some type of shaking effect when a player is using up a lot of time. Also might want to redesign the bank so that instead of designating a piece with ": 1", the bank starts out empty and adds a piece at a time.

Need to go look over the code again for rotations

Instead of designating a piece with ": 1", the bank starts out empty and adds a piece at a time, as an array.

Timer colors (red vs. black) and status messages (Out of time! or Checkmate!) do not rotate properly with the rotate button
