puzzles/print.py, branch master My sgt-puzzles tree Substantial infrastructure upheaval. I've separated the drawing API 2005-08-18T17:50:14+00:00 Simon Tatham anakin@pobox.com 2005-08-18T17:50:14+00:00 af59dcf6858264103bbc621761feee3aed5aaf2a 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]

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.

New puzzle: `Light Up', by James H. 2005-08-04T19:14:10+00:00 Simon Tatham anakin@pobox.com 2005-08-04T19:14:10+00:00 56e01e54fad38cf1470b0994ea2cc70c714ced5d Also in this checkin (committed by mistake - I meant to do it separately), a behind-the-scenes change to Slant to colour the two non-touching classes of diagonals in different colours. Both colours are set to black by default, but configuration by way of SLANT_COLOUR_* can distinguish them if you want. [originally from svn r6164]

New puzzle: `Slant', picked from the Japanese-language section of 2005-08-02T23:16:46+00:00 Simon Tatham anakin@pobox.com 2005-08-02T23:16:46+00:00 afe80030e4935fdebfbed24eeae94274cb7f0632 nikoli.co.jp (which has quite a few puzzles that they don't seem to have bothered to translate into English). Minor structural change: the disjoint set forest code used in the Net solver has come in handy again, so I've moved it out into its own module dsf.c. [originally from svn r6155]
