Compact GUI elements and create annotation textbox #41
Description
I think it would be nice to add a multiline textbox in the GUI where the user can add freeformat text. This text is stored and loaded to the file if the game is saved/loaded. As an future enhancement, we can built-in load games by game number from LittleGolem and upload comments to http://twixt-commentator.duckdns.org
To do this, I think we can make the GUI elements more compact:
- Remove the :"turn" line and integrate it in the "color" line. For example by putting a white arrow next to the color (=> O) or by giving the color a white border for the user who's turn it is.
- Put the evaluation score after the evaluation meter. As an alternative, we can skip the horizontal bar (which is the same as the last bar in the history bar chart) and we can put the score in the top-right corner of the history graph.
- MCTS trials might be skipped because it's in the settings. And really: how much do you really need the MCTS functionality so prominently in the GUI?
- Progress bar and progress text is duplicate info. I suggest we remove the progress bar.
Some of these ideas might be to radical. I'm all open to suggestions!
