[pbmserv-dev] Suggested Improvement to Quoridor

[Randall Bart <barticus@att.net>]

I really dislike playing Quoridor when going southwards, because while 
going upwards is logical, calling up "South" is not, except to the 
Chinese.  Unless we can arrange to only have Chinese players going in the 
southward direction, I suggest a solution.  I believe this exact same 
solution was proposed for another game, though I don't recall which game, 
and I don't know what became of the suggestion.

Add four new commands:  U, D, R, L.  These are synonyms for N, S, E, and W 
when you are going playing O (northbound) and synonyms for S, N, W, and E 
when you are playing X (southbound).  The program will convert these, so 
that move summary only shows N, S, E, and W.

It looks to me like ten minutes of programming and an hour or two of 
testing to avoid a lot of aggravation.
