Things to remember when adding a new puzzle
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Write the source file for the new puzzle (duhh).
|
|
|
|
Create a .R file for it which:
|
|
- defines a Recipe symbol for it if it requires auxiliary object
|
|
files (make sure the general Recipe symbol doesn't contain the
|
|
icon)
|
|
- adds it to the `ALL' definition, to ensure it is compiled into
|
|
the OS X binary
|
|
- adds it as a GTK build target, with the optional GTK icon
|
|
- adds it as a Windows build target, with the optional resource
|
|
file
|
|
- adds auxiliary solver binaries if any
|
|
- adds it to $(GAMES) in the GTK makefile, for `make install'
|
|
- adds it to list.c for the OS X binary
|
|
- adds it to wingames.lst along with a textual name, for the build
|
|
system and Windows installer.
|
|
|
|
If the puzzle is by a new author, modify the copyright notice in
|
|
LICENCE and in puzzles.but. (Also in index.html, but that's listed
|
|
below under website changes.)
|
|
|
|
Double-check that the game structure name in the source file has
|
|
been renamed from `nullgame', so that it'll work on OS X. Actually
|
|
compiling it on OS X would be a good way to check this, if
|
|
convenient.
|
|
|
|
Add a documentation section in puzzles.but.
|
|
|
|
Make sure there's a Windows help topic name defined in puzzles.but,
|
|
and that it's referenced by the help topic field in the game
|
|
structure in the source file.
|
|
|
|
Make sure the puzzle works on PocketPC. At the very least, check
|
|
that it specifies REQUIRE_RBUTTON and/or REQUIRE_NUMPAD as
|
|
appropriate; but better, actually test it on the emulator.
|
|
|
|
Add the new Unix binary name, and the names of any auxiliary solver
|
|
binaries, to the svn:ignore property.
|
|
|
|
Make a screenshot:
|
|
- create an appropriate save file in `icons'
|
|
- add the puzzle name to icons/Makefile
|
|
- set up a REDO property in icons/Makefile if desired
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to `svn add' the new source file, the new .R file and
|
|
the save file in `icons', and any other new files that might have
|
|
been involved.
|
|
|
|
Check in!
|
|
|
|
Put the puzzle on the web:
|
|
- run puzzlesnap first
|
|
- make sure the screenshot and Windows binary have arrived in the
|
|
www directory
|
|
- add an entry in the puzzles list in index.html
|
|
- adjust the copyright in index.html if the puzzle is by a new
|
|
author
|
|
- test that the binary link and the docs link work
|
|
- run webupdate
|
|
- test again
|
|
- check in the change to index.html
