[Freeciv-Dev] Ideas/suggestions

[Daniel Zinsli <s830+priv@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here are a couple of the features i'd like to start thinkering with as
soon as I get some more freetime (that is, lectures start again :).

I'd like to know if someone is already working on this, if it has
been discussed earlier, what people think about it, and where to start:

-Observer mode: an option for a player to join as a non-playing entity,
with no modification abilitites, only passive observer.
        -An observer can see the entire map, see cities, etc
        -A per-client var that allows players to refuse observers to see
        their fov, their cities and such (default on?)

-Cheat menu: A cheat menu ala civ allowing easy debugging
        -A Great Big "Cheats are enabled" dialog when entering a game
        with cheats enabled offcourse (Only server can enable?)

What do you think?
