[Commit message added by SGT: this makes it easier to allocate indices
in the config_item array, and keep them in sync between get_prefs and
set_prefs for each game.]
This adds an extra parameter to move_cursor() that's an optional pointer
to a bool indicating whether the cursor is visible. This allows for
centralising the common idiom of having the keyboard cursor become
visible when a cursor key is pressed. Consistently with the vast
majority of existing puzzles, the cursor moves even if it was invisible
before, and becomes visible even if it can't move.
The function now also returns one of the special constants that can be
returned by interpret_move(), so that the caller can correctly return
MOVE_UI_UPDATE or MOVE_NO_EFFECT without needing to carefully check for
changes itself.
Callers are updated only to the extent that they all pass NULL as the
new argument. Most of them could now be substantially simplified.
All the other constants named UI_* are special key names that can be
passed to midend_process_key(), but UI_UPDATE is a special return value
from the back-end interpret_move() function instead. This renaming
makes the distinction clear and provides a naming convention for future
special return values from interpret_move().
Some puzzles have keys that make changes to the display style in ways
that would probably have been user preferences if they had existed.
I've added a user preference for each of these. The keys still work,
and unlike the preferences can be changed without saving any state.
The affected settings are:
* Labelling colours with numbers in Guess ("L" key)
* Labelling regions with numbers in Map ("L" key)
* Whether monsters are shown as letters or pictures in Undead ("A" key)
These are similar to the existing pair configure() and custom_params()
in that get_prefs() returns an array of config_item describing a set
of dialog-box controls to present to the user, and set_prefs()
receives the same array with answers filled in and implements the
answers. But where configure() and custom_params() operate on a
game_params structure, the new pair operate on a game_ui, and are
intended to permit GUI configuration of all the settings I just moved
into that structure.
However, nothing actually _calls_ these routines yet. All I've done in
this commit is to add them to 'struct game' and implement them for the
functions that need them.
Also, config_item has new fields, permitting each config option to
define a machine-readable identifying keyword as well as the
user-facing description. For options of type C_CHOICES, each choice
also has a keyword. These keyword fields are only defined at all by
the new get_prefs() function - they're left uninitialised in existing
uses of the dialog system. The idea is to use them when writing out
the user's preferences into a configuration file on disk, although I
haven't actually done any of that work in this commit.
Environment variables that set specific settings of particular
puzzles, such as SLANT_SWAP_BUTTONS, LIGHTUP_LIT_BLOBS and
LOOPY_AUTOFOLLOW, now all affect the game behaviour via fields in
game_ui instead of being looked up by getenv in the individual
functions that need to know them.
The purpose of this refactoring is to put those config fields in a
place where other more user-friendly configuration systems will also
be able to access them, once I introduce one. However, for the moment,
there's no functional change: I haven't _yet_ changed how the user
sets those options. They're still set by environment variables alone.
All I'm changing here is where the settings are stored inside the
code, and exactly when they're read out of the environment to put into
the game_ui.
Specifically, the getenvs now happen during new_ui(). Or rather, in
all the puzzles I've changed here, they happen in a subroutine
legacy_prefs_override() called from within new_ui(), after it's set up
the default values for the settings, and then gives the environment a
chance to override them. Or rather, legacy_prefs_override() only
actually calls getenv the first time, and after that, it's cached the
answers it got.
In order to make the override functions less wordy, I've altered the
prototype of getenv_bool so that it returns an int rather than a bool,
and takes its default return value in the same form. That way you can
set the default to something other than 0 or 1, and find out whether a
value was present at all.
This commit only touches environment configuration specific to an
individual puzzle. The midend also has some standard environment-based
config options that apply to all puzzles, such as colour scheme and
default presets and preset-menu extension. I haven't handled those
yet.
I'm about to move some of the bodgy getenv-based options so that they
become fields in game_ui. So these functions, which could previously
access those options directly via getenv, will now need to be given a
game_ui where they can look them up.
This is preparing to separate out the auxiliary functionality, and
perhaps leave space for making more of it in future.
The previous name 'edsf' was too vague: the 'e' stood for 'extended',
and didn't say anything about _how_ it was extended. It's now called a
'flip dsf', since it tracks whether elements in the same class are
flipped relative to each other. More importantly, clients that are
going to use the flip tracking must say so when they allocate the dsf.
And Keen's need to track the minimal element of an equivalence class
is going to become a non-default feature, so there needs to be a new
kind of dsf that specially tracks those, and Keen will have to call it.
While I'm here, I've renamed the three dsf creation functions so that
they start with 'dsf_' like all the rest of the dsf API.
In this commit, 'DSF' is simply a typedef for 'int', so that the new
declaration form 'DSF *' translates to the same type 'int *' that dsfs
have always had. So all we're doing here is mechanically changing type
declarations throughout the code.
I'm going to work towards turning 'dsf' into an opaque type, so that I
can improve its implementation without breaking clients. The first
step is to deal manually with puzzles that currently reuse a single
array of ints for multiple purposes, some of which are dsf and some
are not.
In divvy_rectangle_attempt, 'tmp' was used as an int array and later a
dsf, and I've made a new 'tmpdsf' to be the latter.
In Dominosa, solver->pc_scratch2 was sometimes a dsf, and now there's
a new solver->dsf_scratch.
In Map, parse_edge_list() needed a dsf internally and then never
exported it; it expected to be passed an array of 2*w*h ints and used
the second half as a dsf. Now it expects only w*h ints, and allocates
its own dsf internally, freeing it again before returning.
And in Tents, find_errors() was allocating a single block of 2*w*h
ints and using the second half of it as a dsf, apparently just to save
one malloc. Now we malloc and free the dsf separately.
The majority of back-ends define encode_ui() to return NULL and
decode_ui() to do nothing. This commit allows them to instead specify
the relevant function pointers as NULL, in which case the mid-end won't
try to call them.
I'm planning to add a parameter to decode_ui(), and if I'm going to have
to touch every back-end's version of decode_ui(), I may as well ensure
that most of them never need to be touched again. And obviously
encode_ui() should go the same way for symmetry.
This fixes a build failure introduced by commit 2e48ce132e011e8
yesterday.
When I saw that commit I expected the most likely problem would be in
the NestedVM build, which is currently the thing with the most most
out-of-date C implementation. And indeed the NestedVM toolchain
doesn't have <tgmath.h> - but much more surprisingly, our _Windows_
builds failed too, with a compile error inside <tgmath.h> itself!
I haven't looked closely into the problem yet. Our Windows builds are
done with clang, which comes with its own <tgmath.h> superseding the
standard Windows one. So you'd _hope_ that clang could make sense of
its own header! But perhaps the problem is that this is an unusual
compile mode and hasn't been tested.
My fix is to simply add a cmake check for <tgmath.h> - which doesn't
just check the file's existence, it actually tries compiling a file
that #includes it, so it will detect 'file exists but is mysteriously
broken' just as easily as 'not there at all'. So this makes the builds
start working again, precisely on Ben's theory of opportunistically
using <tgmath.h> where possible and falling back to <math.h>
otherwise.
It looks ugly, though! I'm half tempted to make a new header file
whose job is to include a standard set of system headers, just so that
that nasty #ifdef doesn't have to sit at the top of almost all the
source files. But for the moment this at least gets the build working
again.
C89 provided only double-precision mathematical functions (sin() etc),
and so despite using single-precision elsewhere, those are what Puzzles
has traditionally used. C99 introduced single-precision equivalents
(sinf() etc), and I hope it's been long enough that we can safely use
them. Maybe they'll even be faster.
Rather than directly use the single-precision functions, though, we use
the magic macros from <tgmath.h> that automatically choose the precision
of mathematical functions based on their arguments. This has the
advantage that we only need to change which header we include, and thus
that we can switch back again if some platform has trouble with the new
header.
If you define PUZZLES_INITIAL_CURSOR=y, puzzles that have a keyboard
cursor will default to making it visible rather than invisible at the
start of a new game. Behaviour is otherwise the same, so mouse actions
will cause the cursor to vanish and keyboard actions will cause it to
appear. It's just the default that has changed.
The purpose of this is for use on devices and platforms where the
primary or only means of interaction is keyboard-based. In those cases,
starting with the keyboard cursor invisible is weird and a bit
confusing.
After Ben fixed all the unwanted global functions by using gcc's
-Wmissing-declarations to spot any that were not predeclared, I
remembered that clang has -Wmissing-variable-declarations, which does
the same job for global objects. Enabled it in -DSTRICT=ON, and made
the code clean under it.
Mostly this was just a matter of sticking 'static' on the front of
things. One variable was outright removed ('verbose' in signpost.c)
because after I made it static clang was then able to spot that it was
also unused.
The more interesting cases were the ones where declarations had to be
_added_ to header files. In particular, in COMBINED builds, puzzles.h
now arranges to have predeclared each 'game' structure defined by a
puzzle backend. Also there's a new tiny header file gtk.h, containing
the declarations of xpm_icons and n_xpm_icons which are exported by
each puzzle's autogenerated icon source file and by no-icon.c. Happily
even the real XPM icon files were generated by our own Perl script
rather than being raw xpm output from ImageMagick, so there was no
difficulty adding the corresponding #include in there.
If can_configure is false, then the game's configure() and
custom_params() functions will never be called. If can_solve is false,
solve() will never be called. If can_format_as_text_ever is false,
can_format_as_text_now() and text_format() will never be called. If
can_print is false, print_size() and print() will never be called. If
is_timed is false, timing_state() will never be called.
In each case, almost all puzzles provided a function nonetheless. I
think this is because in Puzzles' early history there was no "game"
structure, so the functions had to be present for linking to work. But
now that everything indirects through the "game" structure, unused
functions can be left unimplemented and the corresponding pointers set
to NULL.
So now where the flags mentioned above are false, the corresponding
functions are omitted and the function pointers in the "game" structures
are NULL.
This makes sure that width * height <= INT_MAX, which it rather needs
to be. Also a similar check in decode_params when defaulting the
number of regions.
This provides a way for the front end to ask how a particular key should
be labelled right now (specifically, for a given game_state and
game_ui). This is useful on feature phones where it's conventional to
put a small caption above each soft key indicating what it currently
does.
The function currently provides labels only for CURSOR_SELECT and
CURSOR_SELECT2. This is because these are the only keys that need
labelling on KaiOS.
The concept of labelling keys also turns up in the request_keys() call,
but there are quite a few differences. The labels returned by
current_key_label() are dynamic and likely to vary with each move, while
the labels provided by request_keys() are constant for a given
game_params. Also, the keys returned by request_keys() don't generally
include CURSOR_SELECT and CURSOR_SELECT2, because those aren't necessary
on platforms with pointing devices. It might be possible to provide a
unified API covering both of this, but I think it would be quite
difficult to work with.
Where a key is to be unlabelled, current_key_label() is expected to
return an empty string. This leaves open the possibility of NULL
indicating a fallback to button2label or the label specified by
request_keys() in the future.
It's tempting to try to implement current_key_label() by calling
interpret_move() and parsing its output. This doesn't work for two
reasons. One is that interpret_move() is entitled to modify the
game_ui, and there isn't really a practical way to back those changes
out. The other is that the information returned by interpret_move()
isn't sufficient to generate a label. For instance, in many puzzles it
generates moves that toggle the state of a square, but we want the label
to reflect which state the square will be toggled to. The result is
that I've generally ended up pulling bits of code from interpret_move()
and execute_move() together to implement current_key_label().
Alongside the back-end function, there's a midend_current_key_label()
that's a thin wrapper around the back-end function. It just adds an
assertion about which key's being requested and a default null
implementation so that back-ends can avoid defining the function if it
will do nothing useful.
Every time we append to the string 'ret', we check first that there's
enough space, and realloc it larger if it's getting close to full.
Except that I missed one case at the join between the two parts of the
encoding.
(Spotted because apparently on someone's build platform this led to a
compiler warning that 'ret' might be null. I think _that's_ not a
serious worry, but the missing resize was definitely unintentional.)
I don't know how I've never thought of this before! Pretty much every
game in this collection has to have a mechanism for noticing when
game_redraw is called for the first time on a new drawstate, and if
so, start by covering the whole window with a filled rectangle of the
background colour. This is a pain for implementers, and also awkward
because the drawstate often has to _work out_ its own pixel size (or
else remember it from when its size method was called).
The backends all do that so that the frontends don't have to guarantee
anything about the initial window contents. But that's a silly
tradeoff to begin with (there are way more backends than frontends, so
this _adds_ work rather than saving it), and also, in this code base
there's a standard way to handle things you don't want to have to do
in every backend _or_ every frontend: do them just once in the midend!
So now that rectangle-drawing operation happens in midend_redraw, and
I've been able to remove it from almost every puzzle. (A couple of
puzzles have other approaches: Slant didn't have a rectangle-draw
because it handles even the game borders using its per-tile redraw
function, and Untangle clears the whole window on every redraw
_anyway_ because it would just be too confusing not to.)
In some cases I've also been able to remove the 'started' flag from
the drawstate. But in many cases that has to stay because it also
triggers drawing of static display furniture other than the
background.
The Rockbox frontend allows games to be displayed in a "zoomed-in"
state targets with small displays. Currently we use a modal interface
-- a "viewing" mode in which the cursor keys are used to pan around
the rendered bitmap; and an "interaction" mode that actually sends
keys to the game.
This commit adds a midend_get_cursor_location() function to allow the
frontend to retrieve the backend's cursor location or other "region of
interest" -- such as the player location in Cube or Inertia.
With this information, the Rockbox frontend can now intelligently
follow the cursor around in the zoomed-in state, eliminating the need
for a modal interface.
Another thing I spotted while trawling the whole source base was that
a couple of games had omitted 'static' on a lot of their internal
functions. Checking with nm, there turned out to be quite a few more
than I'd spotted by eye, so this should fix them all.
Also added one missing 'const', on the lookup table nbits[] in Tracks.
This is the main bulk of this boolification work, but although it's
making the largest actual change, it should also be the least
disruptive to anyone interacting with this code base downstream of me,
because it doesn't modify any interface between modules: all the
inter-module APIs were updated one by one in the previous commits.
This just cleans up the code within each individual source file to use
bool in place of int where I think that makes things clearer.
This commit removes the old #defines of TRUE and FALSE from puzzles.h,
and does a mechanical search-and-replace throughout the code to
replace them with the C99 standard lowercase spellings.
encode_params, validate_params and new_desc now take a bool parameter;
fetch_preset, can_format_as_text_now and timing_state all return bool;
and the data fields is_timed, wants_statusbar and can_* are all bool.
All of those were previously typed as int, but semantically boolean.
This commit changes the API declarations in puzzles.h, updates all the
games to match (including the unfinisheds), and updates the developer
docs as well.
This function gives the front end a way to find out what keys the back
end requires; and as such it is mostly useful for ports without a
keyboard. It is based on changes originally found in Chris Boyle's
Android port, though some modifications were needed to make it more
flexible.
The fields (ui->dragx,ui->dragy) stored the pixel coordinates of the
visible cursor (if any), no matter whether that cursor was being
displayed in response to a mouse dragging action or arrow-key
activity. But this meant that resizing the window while the keyboard
cursor was visible would cause the cursor to be drawn in totally the
wrong place in the newly resized window: you get a new drawstate with
a fresh blitter (so at least no part of the old-size window is
accidentally 'restored' on to the new-size one), but the ui fields
saying where _next_ to draw the cursor would still have bogus values
left over from the previous window size.
To fix this, I've arranged that we simply don't use ui->dragx and
ui->dragy any more in keyboard cursor mode: instead, we leave it to
game_redraw to spot that the keyboard cursor is visible and compute
its pixel coordinates for display.
A knock-on effect is that when we need to know which region is under
the cursor during interpret_move, we can't use the previous strategy
of just calling region_from_coords(ui->dragx, ui->dragy) regardless of
which kind of cursor is active. So I've split that function up into an
inner section taking a tile and a displacement from the tile's centre
and an outer part which derives those from real pixel coordinates in
the case where the cursor is originating from a mouse drag; then
there's a new alternative outer part which derives the same (tile,
displacement) pair purely from the game_ui keyboard cursor data
without having to explicitly translate into pixels and back in the
middle. Probably a less fragile strategy anyway.
This allows me to use different types for the mutable, dynamically
allocated string value in a C_STRING control and the fixed constant
list of option names in a C_CHOICES.
Now midend.c directly tests the returned pointer for equality to this
value, instead of checking whether it's the empty string.
A minor effect of this is that games may now return a dynamically
allocated empty string from interpret_move() and treat it as just
another legal move description. But I don't expect anyone to be
perverse enough to actually do that! The main purpose is that it
avoids returning a string literal from a function whose return type is
a pointer to _non-const_ char, i.e. we are now one step closer to
being able to make this code base clean under -Wwrite-strings.
To do this, I've completely replaced the API between mid-end and front
end, so any downstream front end maintainers will have to do some
rewriting of their own (sorry). I've done the necessary work in all
five of the front ends I keep in-tree here - Windows, GTK, OS X,
Javascript/Emscripten, and Java/NestedVM - and I've done it in various
different styles (as each front end found most convenient), so that
should provide a variety of sample code to show downstreams how, if
they should need it.
I've left in the old puzzle back-end API function to return a flat
list of presets, so for the moment, all the puzzle backends are
unchanged apart from an extra null pointer appearing in their
top-level game structure. In a future commit I'll actually use the new
feature in a puzzle; perhaps in the further future it might make sense
to migrate all the puzzles to the new API and stop providing back ends
with two alternative ways of doing things, but this seemed like enough
upheaval for one day.
puzzle backend function which ought to have it, and propagate those
consts through to per-puzzle subroutines as needed.
I've recently had to do that to a few specific parameters which were
being misused by particular puzzles (r9657, r9830), which suggests
that it's probably a good idea to do the whole lot pre-emptively
before the next such problem shows up.

new_desc. Oddities in the 'make test' output brought to my attention
that a few puzzles have been modifying their input game_params for
various reasons; they shouldn't do that, because that's the
game_params held permanently by the midend and it will affect
subsequent game generations if they modify it. So now those arguments
are const, and all the games which previously modified their
game_params now take a copy and modify that instead.

basically just so that it can divide mouse coordinates by the tile
size, but is definitely not expected to _write_ to it, and it hadn't
previously occurred to me that anyone might try. Therefore,
interpret_move() now gets a pointer to a _const_ game_drawstate
instead of a writable one.
All existing puzzles cope fine with this API change (as long as the
new const qualifier is also added to a couple of subfunctions to which
interpret_move delegates work), except for the just-committed Undead,
which somehow had ds->ascii and ui->ascii the wrong way round but is
otherwise unproblematic.

midend_status(), and given it three return codes for win, (permanent)
loss and game-still-in-play. Depending on what the front end wants to
use it for, it may find any or all of these three states worth
distinguishing from each other.
(I suppose a further enhancement might be to add _non_-permanent loss
as a fourth distinct status, to describe situations in which you can't
play further without pressing Undo but doing so is not completely
pointless. That might reasonably include dead-end situations in Same
Game and Pegs, and blown-self-up situations in Mines and Inertia.
However, I haven't done this at present.)

(Or, at least, a situation in which further play is pointless. The
point is, given that game state, would it be a good idea for a front
end that does that sort of thing to proactively provide the option to
start a fresh game?)

_conditionally_ able to format the current puzzle as text to be sent
to the clipboard. For instance, if a game were to support playing on
a square grid and on other kinds of grid such as hexagonal, then it
might reasonably feel that only the former could be sensibly
rendered in ASCII art; so it can now arrange for the "Copy" menu
item to be greyed out depending on the game_params.
To do this I've introduced a new backend function
(can_format_as_text_now()), and renamed the existing static backend
field "can_format_as_text" to "can_format_as_text_ever". The latter
will cause compile errors for anyone maintaining a third-party front
end; if any such person is reading this, I apologise to them for the
inconvenience, but I did do it deliberately so that they'd know to
update their front end.
As yet, no checked-in game actually uses this feature; all current
games can still either copy always or copy never.

different game states or different game parameters, so it would have
been a mistake to depend on anything in that game state. Games are

and simplifies any later port to a colour-poor platform. Also this
change has removed a lot of unnecessary faff from midend_colours().
