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.
This removed the "handled" pointer and instead extends the existing
boolean return value (quit or don't quit) into an enumeration. One of
the values still quits the program, but now there are different values
for keys that had an effect, had no effect, and are not used by the
puzzle at all. The mapping from interpret_move results to process_key
results is roughly:
move string -> PKR_SOME_EFFECT
MOVE_UI_UPDATE -> PKR_SOME_EFFECT
MOVE_NO_EFFECT -> PKR_NO_EFFECT
MOVE_UNUSED -> PKR_UNUSED
The mid-end can also generate results internally, and is the only place
that PKR_QUIT can arise.
For compatibility, PKR_QUIT is zero, so anything expecting a false
return value to mean quit will be unsurprised. The other values are
ordered so that lower values indicate a greater amount of handling of
the key.
These allow for distinguishing the case where a puzzle doesn't have a
use for a key from the case where it just happens to have no effect in
the current state of the puzzle. These were both represented by NULL,
but that now represents the case where a puzzle hasn't been updated to
make the distinction yet.
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().
Just spotted this in puzzles.h. We don't need to guess any more from
the C standards version whether stdint.h is available: we've actually
checked _precisely that_ in cmake, so it's better to use the answer.
Finally, some user-visible behaviour changes as a payoff for all that
preparation work! In this commit, the GTK puzzles get a 'Preferences'
option in the menu, which presents a dialog box to configure the
preference settings.
On closing that dialog box, the puzzle preferences are enacted
immediately, and also saved to a configuration file where the next run
of the same puzzle will reload them.
The default file location is ~/.config/sgt-puzzles/<puzzlename>.conf,
although you can override the .config dir via $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or
override the Puzzles-specific subdir with $SGT_PUZZLES_DIR.
This is the first commit that actually exposes all the new preferences
work to the user, and therefore, I've also added documentation of all
the current preference options.
This commit introduces a serialisation format for the user preferences
stored in game_ui, using the keyword identifiers that get_prefs is
required to write into its list of config_item. As a result, the
serialisation format looks enough like an ordinary config file that a
user could write one by hand.
The preferences for the game backend are kept in serialised form in
me->be_prefs. The typical use of this is to apply it to a just-created
game_ui by calling midend_apply_prefs(), which deserialises the prefs
buffer into a list of config_item and passes it to the backend's
set_prefs function, overwriting the preference fields (but no others)
of the game_ui.
This is duly done when creating a new game, when loading a game from a
save file, and also when printing a puzzle. To make the latter work,
document_add_puzzle now takes a game_ui (and keeps ownership of it
afterwards), and passes that to the backend's compute_size and print
functions.
The backend's own get_prefs and set_prefs functions are wrapped by
midend_get_prefs and midend_set_prefs. This is partly as a convenience
(it deals with optionally constructing a game_ui specially to call the
backend with), but mostly so that there will be a convenient place in
the midend to add standard preferences applying across all puzzles.
No cross-puzzle preferences are provided yet.
There are two external interfaces to all this, and in this commit,
neither one is yet called by any frontend:
A new pair of midend functions is exposed to the front end, called
midend_load_prefs and midend_save_prefs. These have a similar API to
midend_serialise and midend_deserialise, taking a read/write function
pointer and a context. So front ends that can already load/save a game
to a file on disk should find it easy to add a similar set of
functions loading/saving user preferences.
Secondly, a new value CFG_PREFS is added to the enumeration of
configuration dialog types, alongside the ones for the Custom game
type, entering a game description and entering a random seed. This
should make it easy for frontends to offer a Preferences dialog,
because it will operate almost exactly like three dialogs they already
handle.
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.
print_dsf was declared in puzzles.h, but never called, and its
definition was commented out. So it probably wouldn't still have
worked anyway. The other commented-out printfs in that file don't look
very useful either, and they just mean more stuff will need messing
about with as I continue to refactor.
Now that the dsf knows its own size internally, there's no need to
tell it again when one is copied or reinitialised.
This makes dsf_init much more about *re*initialising a dsf, since now
dsfs are always allocated using a function that will initialise them
anyway. So I think it deserves a rename.
This makes good on all the previous preparatory commits, which I did
separately so that each one individually has a reasonably readable
diff, and all the mechanical changes are separated out from the
rewrites that needed actual thought.
Still no functional change, however: the DSF type wraps nothing but
the same int pointer that 'DSF *' used to store directly.
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.
Previously we were duplicating the contents of a dsf using straight-up
memcpy. Now there's a dsf_copy function wrapping the same memcpy.
For the moment, this still has to take a size parameter, because the
size isn't stored inside the dsf itself. But once we make a proper
data type, it will be.
Some games would like a way to check that the parameters in the encoded
UI string are consistent with the game parameters. Since this might
depend on the current state of the game (this being what changed_state()
is for), implement this by adding a game_state parameter to decode_ui().
Nothing currently uses it, though Guess usefully could.
Having stated the principle in the previous commit, I should apply it
consistently. A source file linked into the Puzzles library of common
support code should not also define a main() under ifdef.
This commit only goes as far as the _library_ support modules. It
would be a much bigger job to do the same for all the actual _puzzles_
that have test main()s or standalone-solver main()s. And it's not
necessary, because modifying one of those source files only triggers a
rebuild of _one_ puzzle, not absolutely everything. (Not to mention
that it's quite likely the puzzle and the test main() will need to be
modified in conjunction anyway.)
As in the previous commit, this has required exposing a few internal
API functions as global, and maybe editing them a bit. In particular,
the one-shot internal function that divvy_rectangle() loops on until
it succeeds is now exposed as divvy_rectangle_attempt(), which means
the test program doesn't have to condition a failure counter into the
real function.
I've thrown away penrose-vector-test completely, because that didn't
look like a test program with any ongoing use at all - it was surely
vestigial, while James was getting the vector representation up and
running in the first place.
This provides a standard way to get a boolean from an environment
variable. It treats the variable as true iff its value begins with 'y'
or 'Y', like most of the current implementations. The function takes a
default value which it returns if the environment variable is undefined.
This replaces the various ad-hoc tests of environment variable scattered
around and mostly doesn't change their behaviour. The exceptions are
TOWERS_2D in Towers and DEBUG_PUZZLES in the Windows front end. Both of
those were treated as true if they were defined at all, but now follow
the same rules as other boolean environment variables.
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.
There are lots of places where Puzzles formats integers into
fixed-length buffers using sprintf() with a "%d" format. This isn't
very safe, since C doesn't guarantee any particular maximum size for an
"int". However, the restrictions on representations of integers means
we can infer an upper bound using sizeof(), CHAR_BIT, and an
approximation to the binary log of 10.
Quite a few backends currently generate colours by multiplying the
foreground colour by a fraction, effectively mixing it with black. On a
black background, this might be reasonably replaced by mixing the
background colour with white, but that's rather arithmetically fiddly.
Happily, I already have a function for that and just need to expose it.
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.
This adds a new bool * argument, which can be NULL if front ends don't
care whether the keypress was handled. Currently they all do that.
Currently, "undo" and "redo" keys are treated as not handled if there's
no move to undo or redo. This may be a little too strict.
The device pixel ratio indicates how many physical pixels there are in
the platonic ideal of a pixel, at least approximately. In Web browsers,
the device pixel ratio is used to represent "retina" displays with
particularly high pixel densities, and also to reflect user-driven
zooming of the page to different text sizes.
The mid-end uses the device pixel ratio to adjust the tile size at
startup, and can also respond to changes in device pixel ratio by
adjusting the time size later. This is accomplished through a new
argument to midend_size() which can simply be passed as 1.0 in any front
end that doesn't care about this.
Thanks to Kaz Kylheku for pointing out that commit ff3e762fd007883
didn't do a complete job: I removed the code under '#ifdef _WIN32_WCE'
in windows.c, but missed sections under the same ifdef in puzzles.h
and puzzles.rc, together with an entire header file resource.h that
was only included by code under those ifdefs.
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.
Printing is only available in GTK versions >= 2.10. We can only embed
the page setup dialog on GTK >= 2.18, so on a GTK version less than
that, we must use a separate page setup dialog.
In GTK, printing is usually done one page at a time, so also modify
printing.c to allow printing of a single page at a time.
Create a separate drawing API for drawing to the screen and for
printing. Create a vtable for functions which need to be different
depending on whether they were called from the printing or drawing
API.
When a function is called from the printing API, it is passed a
separate instance of the frontend than if it were called from the
drawing API. In that instance of the frontend, an appropriate vtable
is available depending on whether it was called from the printing or
drawing API.
The low-level functions used for printing are enabled even if printing
is not enabled. This is in case we ever need to use them for something
other than printing with GTK. For example, using Cairo as a printing
backend when printing from the command line. Enabling the low-level
functions even when GTK printing is not available also allows them to
be compiled under as many build settings as possible, and thus lowers
the chance of undetected breakage.
Move the definition of ROOT2 from ps.c to puzzles.h so other files can
use it (gtk.c needs it for hatching).
Also add myself to the copyright list.
[Committer's note: by 'printing', this log message refers to the GTK
GUI printing system, which handles selecting a printer, printing to a
file, previewing and so on. The existing facility to generate
printable puzzles in Postscript form by running the GTK binaries in
command-line mode with the --print option is unaffected. -SGT]
This one tells you if a graph edge _is_ a bridge (i.e. it has inverted
sense to the existing is_loop_edge query). But it also returns
auxiliary data, telling you: _if_ this edge were removed, and thereby
disconnected some connected component of the graph, what would be the
sizes of the two new components?
The data structure built up by the algorithm very nearly contained
enough information to answer that already: because we assign
sequential indices to all the vertices in a traversal of our spanning
forest, and any bridge must be an edge of that forest, it follows that
we already know the size of _one_ of the two new components, just by
looking up the (minindex,maxindex) values for the vertex at the child
end of the edge.
To determine the other subcomponent's size, we subtract that from the
size of the full component. That's not quite so easy because we don't
already store that - but it's trivial to annotate every vertex's data
with a pointer back to the topmost node of the spanning forest in its
component, and then we can look at the (minindex,maxindex) pair of
that. So now we know the size of the original component and the size
of one of the pieces it would be split into, so we can just subtract.
I'm about to have a need to sort an array based on auxiliary data held
in a variable that's not globally accessible, so I need a sort routine
that accepts an extra parameter and passes it through to the compare
function.
Sorting algorithm is heapsort, because it's the N log N algorithm I
can implement most reliably.
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.
This shouldn't be a disruptive change at all: findloop_run and
findloop_is_loop_edge now return bool in place of int, but client code
should automatically adjust without needing any changes.
Now the flag passed to edsf_merge to say whether two items are the
same or opposite is a bool, and so is the flag returned via a pointer
argument from edsf_canonify.
The latter requires client code to be updated to match (otherwise
you'll get a pointer type error), so I've done that update in Loopy,
which is edsf's only current in-tree client.
Not many changes here: the 'dotted' flag passed to print_line_dotted
is bool, and so is the printing_in_colour flag passed to
print_get_colour. Also ps_init() takes a bool.
line_dotted is also a method in the drawing API structure, but it's
not actually filled in for any non-print-oriented implementation of
that API. So only front ends that do platform-specific _printing_
should need to make a corresponding change. In-tree, for example,
windows.c needed a fix because it prints via Windows GDI, but gtk.c
didn't have to do anything, because its CLI-based printing facility
just delegates to ps.c.
This changes parameters of midend_size and midend_print_puzzle, the
return types of midend_process_key, midend_wants_statusbar,
midend_can_format_as_text_now and midend_can_{undo,redo}, the 'bval'
field in struct config_item, and finally the return type of the
function pointer passed to midend_deserialise and identify_game.
The last of those changes requires a corresponding fix in clients of
midend_deserialise and identify_game, so in this commit I've also
updated all the in-tree front ends to match. I expect downstream front
ends will need to do the same when they merge this change.
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.
I went through all the char * parameters and return values I could see
in puzzles.h by eye and spotted ones that surely ought to have been
const all along.
