the web, which I hope will also end up being extended to generate both Windows and X icons for each individual puzzle. The mechanism is: for each puzzle there's a save file in the `icons' subdirectory showing a game state which I think is a decent illustration of the puzzle, and then there's a nasty set of scripts which runs each puzzle binary, loads that save file, grabs a screenshot using xwd, and munges it into shape. In order to support this I've added two new options (--redo and --windowid) to all the GTK puzzles, which I don't expect ever to be used outside the icons makefile. I've also added two more options (--load and --id) which force a GTK puzzle to treat its command-line option as a save file or as a game ID respectively (the previous behaviour was always to guess, and sometimes it guessed wrong).

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
|
|
- adds it to the `ALL' definition, to ensure it is compiled into
|
|
the OS X binary
|
|
- adds it as a GTK build target
|
|
- adds it as a Windows build target
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Add the new Unix binary name 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', before checkin!
|
|
|
|
Put the puzzle on the web:
|
|
- make sure the screenshot is actually 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
|
|
- add a link to the Windows binary
|
|
- make sure the Windows binary link points at the right binary, not
|
|
the wrong one!
|
|
- run puzzlesnap
|
|
- test that the binary link and the docs link work
|
|
- run webupdate
|
|
- test again
|
|
- `svn add' the binary symlink and the screenshot
|
|
- check in the website changes (screenshot, symlink, index.html)
