Known Bugs / Planned Enhancements:
Last Updated March 6, 2005

Thanks to everyone who sent in suggestions and bug reports!

As of version 1.4:

Bugs:
• When hardware buttons are used instead of on-screen buttons, there is no "beep" when switching timers
• Investigate reports of clock running too fast on some Palm III's
• After game is over, hardware buttons revert back to default behavior of switching applications
• Hardware button support doesn't work on the Palm Zire (the Zire does not have a Memo Pad button)
• "About" page displays incorrect contact email address for GameTimer support
• One report of Zire 21 locking up when using hardware buttons

Functional additions:
• Indicate which clock is running
• Optionally ignore end-of-countdown
• Allow updates less often than once per second
• Optionally allow both hardware and on-screen buttons to be enabled
• Allow a larger font to be used for the clock, possibly even larger when there are fewer digits visible on the screen
• Allow players to choose which side starts first (maybe no start button, and just whichever "switch" is pressed first)
• Allow for times greater than 59 minutes
• Optionally move the timers to be top/bottom instead of left/right
• Optionally allow penalty timer - count negative time after timer stops. Should include the option to warn or not warn when it goes negative.
• Optionally disable the other hardware buttons during gameplay (to avoid accidentally switching apps)
• Provide a mechanism for allowing players to specify time limits in terms of number of moves per x amount of time (e.g. 40 moves in 2 hours). Ideally allow players to specify several of these at the start of a game - e.g. 40 moves in 2 hours, then the next 30 moves in 1 hour, etc. Preferably provide the ability to at some point indicate that at some point continue this way indefinitely (e.g. 40 moves in 2 hours, then the next 30 moves in 1 hour, then from that point on, 25 moves each 45 minutes).
• "Hourglass" mode: as one player's clock counts down, the other counts up.
• Option to adjust volume just of GameTimer (including "off" option).
• Allow for more than two players (at least one request for up to 6 players)
• Optionally beep and/or sound alarm at end of countdown, with ability to choose sound
• Add overtime periods, as per byo-yomi rules of Go
• Option for a single (larger) "Switch" button (instead of two smaller ones, as currently exist)
• Make it more obvious (visually) when the application is in "pause" mode
• Option to automatically pause timer when switching to a different application (currently timer restarts)
• Option to make timer continue while using another application (currently timer restarts)
• Optionally beep and/or sound alarm when getting near to end of countdown
• Allow clicking anywhere on screen (or make button take up whole screen) to switch timers
• Add "Pause" hardware button (when hardware buttons are being used instead of on-screen buttons)
• Add "time delay" option: if enabled, when player presses switch button, the running clock stops - but there is a (configurable) delay before the other clock starts

Internal code changes:
• Switch to C++ (all code is currently written in C)
• Use WinDrawChars() for the timer fields (should simplify the code a little)
• Upgrade code to newer PalmOS platform
