as seen by the back ends from the one implemented by the front end, and shoved a piece of middleware (drawing.c) in between to permit interchange of multiple kinds of the latter. I've also added a number of functions to the drawing API to permit printing as well as on-screen drawing, and retired print.py in favour of integrated printing done by means of that API. The immediate visible change is that print.py is dead, and each puzzle now does its own printing: where you would previously have typed `print.py solo 2x3', you now type `solo --print 2x3' and it should work in much the same way. Advantages of the new mechanism available right now: - Map is now printable, because the new print function can make use of the output from the existing game ID decoder rather than me having to replicate all those fiddly algorithms in Python. - the new print functions can cope with non-initial game states, which means each puzzle supporting --print also supports --with-solutions. - there's also a --scale option permitting users to adjust the size of the printed puzzles. Advantages which will be available at some point: - the new API should permit me to implement native printing mechanisms on Windows and OS X. [originally from svn r6190]

Things to remember when adding a new puzzle
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Write the source file for the new puzzle (duhh).
|
|
|
|
Add it to Recipe in _four_ places:
|
|
- the `ALL' definition, to ensure it is compiled into the OS X binary
|
|
- as a GTK build target
|
|
- as a Windows build target
|
|
- in the Unix `make install' section at the bottom.
|
|
|
|
Add it to list.c so that the OS X binary will be able to select it
|
|
from the menus. (Also, double-check that the game structure name in
|
|
the source file has been renamed from `nullgame'. 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.
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to `svn add' the new source file before checkin!
|
|
|
|
Put the puzzle on the web:
|
|
- make a screenshot
|
|
- add an entry in the puzzles list in index.html
|
|
- 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)
