to translate y-coordinates from the default of up-from-bottom to the
down-from-top expected by these puzzles, because it doesn't work right
on GNUstep. Instead, we run the API in its default mode (probably a
more robust choice anyway) and translate coordinates manually in the
front end.
In the process, I've separated the processButton: method into one for
mouse buttons and one for keys, since that was the easiest way to
ensure the coordinates passed to the mid-end for the latter are -1,-1
_after_ translation rather than before.

front end using GNUstep, yielding a Unix program built from the same
code. Should make it easier to check OS X behaviour without having to
move as far as a Mac :-) However, it doesn't compile as is, so I'll
apply fixes to the code until it does.

that _ought_ to have it but did not.
I've tried to implement it before and found that the most obvious
approach was so effective as to constitute a spoiler, so this is a
deliberately weakened approach which in a bit of play-testing seems to
be a more sensible balance. It won't necessarily tell you at the very
instant you put a foot wrong, but it will at least ensure that (my
usual minimum standard) once you've filled in the whole grid you will
either have seen a victory flash, or an error indicator showing you
why not.

in the Java build - which turns out to be a JVM bug in OpenJDK 6,
causing the NestedVM rendition of the expression (i==1?3:4) to be
mis-JITed. OpenJDK 7 appears not to do that any more, but this
equivalent (for these purposes) rephrasing should perturb the code
just enough to dodge the problem.

persisting between separate mouse actions. Revamp all uses of the
ndragcoords field in an attempt to stamp that out: we now distinguish
between active drags (>0), a valid click but no drag yet (0), and a
totally invalid situation in which all mouse activity will be ignored
until the next fresh attempt (-1).

square. It isn't equipped for it, and will try to handle it with the
4-square case and get confused. This can come up if the
DIFF_KINTERSECT pass before that split a cage, and will cause the
solver to miss valid solutions; e.g. 3x3kadu#802065940985372 would
generate an ambiguous puzzle before this change.

line here' cross mark by dragging, and furthermore, that doing so puts
that grid edge into a stuck state that no UI action short of undo can
get it back out of. Fix drags to stop at crosses, and fix execute_move
to fault any move string that nonetheless somehow managed to try to
set a line over a cross without explicitly tagging it 'R'.

in Rectangles. Mouse drags now take priority - you can't start a
keyboard drag while the mouse is held down, and starting a mouse drag
instantly cancels an unfinished keyboard drag - and also I've fixed an
assertion failure which would come up if you had the keyboard cursor
visible at the end of a mouse drag (by pressing arrow keys while the
mouse was held down).

useful in the soak-test context (where that debug statement will now
be printed and previously wasn't), but the main aim is to remove the

in the 'unfinished' directory for a while, and has now been finished
up thanks to James Harvey putting in some effort and galvanising me to
put in the rest. This is 'Pearl', an implementation of Nikoli's 'Masyu'.
The code in Loopy that generates a random loop along grid edges to use
as the puzzle solution has been abstracted out into loopgen.[ch] so
that Pearl can use it for its puzzle solutions too. I've also
introduced a new utility module called 'tdq' (for 'to-do queue').

a better upper bound on the number of bridges leaving a given island
in a given direction was not counted as having 'done something'; so a
solver run could make several such deductions, but then terminate in
the belief that it hadn't achieved anything, when just going back
round the main solver loop would have enabled it to make further
deductions based on those new bounds.

remembering whether the player had ever used the hint or solve
functions, even if they then pressed undo (and even if they saved and
restored).
As far as Solve+Undo is concerned, this just brings Range into line
with common practice in the rest of my puzzles. On the other hand,
Range is the first time there's been a 'hint' function to consider in
this question, so here's a policy decision: the victory flash is not a
congratulation for a puzzle solved unaided, it's a confirmation that
you really have reached a correct solution and haven't made any
mistakes. So the only reason to omit the victory flash is if you've
used the Solve operation to go straight to a guaranteed-correct
solution _in a single move_; if you're using the hint button, there's
still scope for you to make mistakes in all your non-hint moves, so
the victory flash is still a useful indicator that you didn't.

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.)

I've decided that the extremely low density of one-option
multiplication clues is not a universally good idea after all: it
seems to me to make puzzles _quantitatively_ harder, even if Keen's
difficulty-level system can't see any difference in the set of modes
of reasoning required at least once to solve the grid.
So I've readjusted the clue selection, so that multiplicative clues
with only one workable pair of factors are restored to 'good' status
at Normal difficulty level and below, and only considered less-than-
fully-desirable at Hard and above. I think that's a reasonable
compromise.

4-vector representation, rather than mucking about with sines and
cosines after grid generation. _Should_ make no difference in the
generated grids (there's a theoretical risk of an unlucky rounding
error just about managing to push some point in or out of bounds, but
I think it's vanishingly small), but simplifies the coordinate-
flattening procedure, and in particular increases its chance of
getting vertical lines actually vertical.
(Prior to this change, the game ID
10x10t12:G2554,-31,108_a3b12h0a212a3d102b2a23a2e3b01b0a2c2a0c0 was
generating a not-quite-vertical edge at top left, in the Java port but
not on Linux; I suspect differences in sin and cos as the cause of the
discrepancy. With the rotation done like this, the points'
x-coordinates are now computed without reference to their
y-coordinates.)
