* New rule: interpret_move() is passed a pointer to the game_drawstateSimon Tatham2012-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | basically just so that it can divide mouse coordinates by the tile size, but is definitely not expected to _write_ to it, and it hadn't previously occurred to me that anyone might try. Therefore, interpret_move() now gets a pointer to a _const_ game_drawstate instead of a writable one. All existing puzzles cope fine with this API change (as long as the new const qualifier is also added to a couple of subfunctions to which interpret_move delegates work), except for the just-committed Undead, which somehow had ds->ascii and ui->ascii the wrong way round but is otherwise unproblematic. [originally from svn r9657]
* Changed my mind about midend_is_solved: I've now reprototyped it asSimon Tatham2011-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.) [originally from svn r9179]
* Add a function to every game backend which indicates whether a gameSimon Tatham2011-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | state is in a solved position, and a midend function wrapping it. (Or, at least, a situation in which further play is pointless. The point is, given that game state, would it be a good idea for a front end that does that sort of thing to proactively provide the option to start a fresh game?) [originally from svn r9140]
* Patch from James H providing lots more paranoid casting. Also oneSimon Tatham2008-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | actual behaviour change: Untangle now permits dragging with the right mouse button, which has exactly the same effect as it does with the left. (Harmless on desktop platforms, but helpful when "right-click" is achieved by press-and-hold; now the drag takes place even if you hesitate first.) [originally from svn r8177]

* New infrastructure feature. Games are now permitted to beSimon Tatham2008-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _conditionally_ able to format the current puzzle as text to be sent to the clipboard. For instance, if a game were to support playing on a square grid and on other kinds of grid such as hexagonal, then it might reasonably feel that only the former could be sensibly rendered in ASCII art; so it can now arrange for the "Copy" menu item to be greyed out depending on the game_params. To do this I've introduced a new backend function (can_format_as_text_now()), and renamed the existing static backend field "can_format_as_text" to "can_format_as_text_ever". The latter will cause compile errors for anyone maintaining a third-party front end; if any such person is reading this, I apologise to them for the inconvenience, but I did do it deliberately so that they'd know to update their front end. As yet, no checked-in game actually uses this feature; all current games can still either copy always or copy never. [originally from svn r8161]

* Cleanup: it was absolutely stupid for game_wants_statusbar() to be aSimon Tatham2005-10-22
| | | | | | | | | function, since it took no parameters by which to vary its decision, and in any case it's hard to imagine a game which only _conditionally_ wants a status bar. Changed it into a boolean data field in the backend structure. [originally from svn r6417]
* Cleanup: remove the game_state parameter to game_colours(). No gameSimon Tatham2005-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | was actually using it, and also it wasn't being called again for different game states or different game parameters, so it would have been a mistake to depend on anything in that game state. Games are now expected to commit in advance to a single fixed list of all the colours they will ever need, which was the case in practice already and simplifies any later port to a colour-poor platform. Also this change has removed a lot of unnecessary faff from midend_colours(). [originally from svn r6416]

* r6384 didn't go quite far enough. In fact, a grid square whichSimon Tatham2005-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | differs between oldstate and state in only the hint bit should not have a flip animation even if hints_active is TRUE. Flip animations should only happen for tiles which are changing their primary state. (Put like that, it seems so obvious.) Test case which demonstrates this fix to be right and r6384 to be wrong: 3x3:101000000000000000000,300 . Hit Solve immediately and then click on the red-highlighted squares.

* Fixes for handling human-entered Flip games. The clicked-on squareSimon Tatham2005-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | always got a flip animation even when it wasn't one of the ones being turned, and a square with no effect at all was still counting as a move. Since it's an invariant of Flip's internal generator that every square includes itself as an effect, this never comes up in auto- generated games. [originally from svn r6384]

* Substantial infrastructure upheaval. I've separated the drawing APISimon Tatham2005-08-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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]

* game_timing_state() now has access to the game_ui. This means thatSimon Tatham2005-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | whether the timer is currently going is no longer solely dependent on the current game_state: it can be dependent on more persistent information stored in the game_ui. In particular, Mines now freezes the timer permanently once you complete a grid for the first time, so that you can then backtrack through your solution process without destroying the information about how long it took you the first time through. [originally from svn r6088]
* Add a `full' parameter to validate_params(), analogous to the one inJacob Nevins2005-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | encode_params(). This is necessary for cases where generation-time parameters that are normally omitted from descriptive IDs can place restrictions on other parameters; in particular, when the default value of a relevant generation-time parameter is not the one used to generate the descriptive ID, validation could reject self-generated IDs (e.g., Net `5x2w:56182ae7c2', and some cases in `Pegs'). [originally from svn r6068]
* Refactored the game_size() interface, which was getting reallySimon Tatham2005-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | unpleasant and requiring lots of special cases to be taken care of by every single game. The new interface exposes an integer `tile size' or `scale' parameter to the midend and provides two much simpler routines: one which computes the pixel window size given a game_params and a tile size, and one which is given a tile size and must set up a drawstate appropriately. All the rest of the complexity is handled in the midend, mostly by binary search, so grubby special cases only have to be dealt with once. [originally from svn r6059]

* draw_polygon() and draw_circle() have always had a portabilitySimon Tatham2005-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | constraint: because some front ends interpret `draw filled shape' to mean `including its boundary' while others interpret it to mean `not including its boundary' (and X seems to vacillate between the two opinions as it moves around the shape!), you MUST NOT draw a filled shape only. You can fill in one colour and outline in another, you can fill or outline in the same colour, or you can just outline, but just filling is a no-no. This leads to a _lot_ of double calls to these functions, so I've changed the interface. draw_circle() and draw_polygon() now each take two colour arguments, a fill colour (which can be -1 for none) and an outline colour (which must be valid). This should simplify code in the game back ends, while also reducing the possibility for coding error. [originally from svn r6047]
* General robustness patch from James Harvey:Simon Tatham2005-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - most game_size() functions now work in doubles internally and round to nearest, meaning that they have less tendency to try to alter a size they returned happily from a previous call - couple of fiddly fixes (memory leaks, precautionary casts in printf argument lists) - midend_deserialise() now constructs an appropriate drawstate, which I can't think how I overlooked myself since I _thought_ I went through the entire midend structure field by field! [originally from svn r6041]

* More serialisation changes: the game_aux_info structure has now beenSimon Tatham2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | retired, and replaced with a simple string. Most of the games which use it simply encode the string in the same way that the Solve move will also be encoded, i.e. solve_game() simply returns dupstr(aux_info). Again, this is a better approach than writing separate game_aux_info serialise/deserialise functions because doing it this way is self-testing (the strings are created and parsed during the course of any Solve operation at all). [originally from svn r6029]
* Another function pair required for serialisation; these ones saveSimon Tatham2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | and restore anything vitally important in the game_ui. Most of the game_ui is expected to be stuff about cursor positions and currently active mouse drags, so it absolutely _doesn't_ want to be preserved over a serialisation; but one or two things would be disorienting or outright wrong to reset, such as the Net origin position and the Mines death counter. [originally from svn r6026]
* Re-architecting of the game backend interface. make_move() has beenSimon Tatham2005-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | split into two functions. The first, interpret_move(), takes all the arguments that make_move() used to get and may have the usual side effects of modifying the game_ui, but instead of returning a modified game_state it instead returns a string description of the move to be made. This string description is then passed to a second function, execute_move(), together with an input game_state, which is responsible for actually producing the new state. (solve_game() also returns a string to be passed to execute_move().) The point of this is to work towards being able to serialise the whole of a game midend into a byte stream such as a disk file, which will eventually support save and load functions in the desktop puzzles, as well as restoring half-finished games after a quit and restart in James Harvey's Palm port. Making each game supply a convert-to-string function for its game_state format would have been an unreliable way to do this, since those functions would not have been used in normal play, so they'd only have been tested when you actually tried to save and load - a recipe for latent bugs if ever I heard one. This way, you won't even be able to _make_ a move if execute_move() doesn't work properly, which means that if you can play a game at all I can have pretty high confidence that serialising it will work first time. This is only the groundwork; there will be more checkins to come on this theme. But the major upheaval should now be done, and as far as I can tell everything's still working normally.
