* Flood: fix interpret_move() return value for CURSOR_SELECT2Ben Harris2023-08-14
| | | | | If there's no solution in progress, it should return MOVE_NO_EFFECT, not MOVE_UNUSED.
* Flood: correctly handle clicks that only hide cursorBen Harris2023-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | If you clicked somewhere that had no effect (outside the grid or on a square matching the colour of the top-left corner), interpret_move() would return MOVE_NO_EFFECT (previously NULL) even though it had unset ui->cursor. So the keyboard cursor would remain visible until the next window resize (or similar) when it would vanish. Now interpret_move() correctly returns MOVE_UI_UPDATE in these cases, so the cursor vanishes immediately.
* Distinguish MOVE_UNUSED from MOVE_NO_EFFECT in FloodBen Harris2023-08-14
| | | | | Clicking outside the grid hides the keyboard cursor, so it's not MOVE_UNUSED like it usually is.
* Flood: use move_cursor() for cursor movementBen Harris2023-08-13

* Flood: don't draw zero-width tile separatorsBen Harris2023-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | Flood's draw_tile() extravagantly uses up to eight rectangles to draw separators around each tile. This could be substantially improved, but a particularly low-hanging optimisation is not do draw them when the separator width is zero. This at least means that Flood completes its initial drawing on my test KaiOS device.
* Rename UI_UPDATE as MOVE_UI_UPDATEBen Harris2023-06-11
| | | | | | | | All the other constants named UI_* are special key names that can be passed to midend_process_key(), but UI_UPDATE is a special return value from the back-end interpret_move() function instead. This renaming makes the distinction clear and provides a naming convention for future special return values from interpret_move().
* New backend functions: get_prefs and set_prefs.Simon Tatham2023-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These are similar to the existing pair configure() and custom_params() in that get_prefs() returns an array of config_item describing a set of dialog-box controls to present to the user, and set_prefs() receives the same array with answers filled in and implements the answers. But where configure() and custom_params() operate on a game_params structure, the new pair operate on a game_ui, and are intended to permit GUI configuration of all the settings I just moved into that structure. However, nothing actually _calls_ these routines yet. All I've done in this commit is to add them to 'struct game' and implement them for the functions that need them. Also, config_item has new fields, permitting each config option to define a machine-readable identifying keyword as well as the user-facing description. For options of type C_CHOICES, each choice also has a keyword. These keyword fields are only defined at all by the new get_prefs() function - they're left uninitialised in existing uses of the dialog system. The idea is to use them when writing out the user's preferences into a configuration file on disk, although I haven't actually done any of that work in this commit.
* Pass a game_ui to compute_size, print_size and print.Simon Tatham2023-04-21
| | | | | | | I'm about to move some of the bodgy getenv-based options so that they become fields in game_ui. So these functions, which could previously access those options directly via getenv, will now need to be given a game_ui where they can look them up.
* Make encode_ui() and decode_ui() optional in back-endsBen Harris2023-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | The majority of back-ends define encode_ui() to return NULL and decode_ui() to do nothing. This commit allows them to instead specify the relevant function pointers as NULL, in which case the mid-end won't try to call them. I'm planning to add a parameter to decode_ui(), and if I'm going to have to touch every back-end's version of decode_ui(), I may as well ensure that most of them never need to be touched again. And obviously encode_ui() should go the same way for symmetry.
* Fall back to <math.h> if <tgmath.h> doesn't work.Simon Tatham2023-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a build failure introduced by commit 2e48ce132e011e8 yesterday. When I saw that commit I expected the most likely problem would be in the NestedVM build, which is currently the thing with the most most out-of-date C implementation. And indeed the NestedVM toolchain doesn't have <tgmath.h> - but much more surprisingly, our _Windows_ builds failed too, with a compile error inside <tgmath.h> itself! I haven't looked closely into the problem yet. Our Windows builds are done with clang, which comes with its own <tgmath.h> superseding the standard Windows one. So you'd _hope_ that clang could make sense of its own header! But perhaps the problem is that this is an unusual compile mode and hasn't been tested. My fix is to simply add a cmake check for <tgmath.h> - which doesn't just check the file's existence, it actually tries compiling a file that #includes it, so it will detect 'file exists but is mysteriously broken' just as easily as 'not there at all'. So this makes the builds start working again, precisely on Ben's theory of opportunistically using <tgmath.h> where possible and falling back to <math.h> otherwise. It looks ugly, though! I'm half tempted to make a new header file whose job is to include a standard set of system headers, just so that that nasty #ifdef doesn't have to sit at the top of almost all the source files. But for the moment this at least gets the build working again.
* Replace <math.h> with <tgmath.h> throughoutBen Harris2023-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | C89 provided only double-precision mathematical functions (sin() etc), and so despite using single-precision elsewhere, those are what Puzzles has traditionally used. C99 introduced single-precision equivalents (sinf() etc), and I hope it's been long enough that we can safely use them. Maybe they'll even be faster. Rather than directly use the single-precision functions, though, we use the magic macros from <tgmath.h> that automatically choose the precision of mathematical functions based on their arguments. This has the advantage that we only need to change which header we include, and thus that we can switch back again if some platform has trouble with the new header.
* Add an environment variable to control initial cursor visibilityBen Harris2023-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If you define PUZZLES_INITIAL_CURSOR=y, puzzles that have a keyboard cursor will default to making it visible rather than invisible at the start of a new game. Behaviour is otherwise the same, so mouse actions will cause the cursor to vanish and keyboard actions will cause it to appear. It's just the default that has changed. The purpose of this is for use on devices and platforms where the primary or only means of interaction is keyboard-based. In those cases, starting with the keyboard cursor invisible is weird and a bit confusing.
* Flood: don't read off the end of some parameter stringsBen Harris2023-02-20
| | | | | | | This is essentially the same fix as 73c7bc090155ab8c was for Twiddle. The new code is less clever but more correct (and more obviously correct). The bug could be demonstrated by using a parameter string of "c" or "m" with an AddressSanitizer build of Flood.
* Make sure that moves in Flood use only valid coloursBen Harris2023-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If execute_move() receieves a move that uses a colour beyond the range for the current game, it now rejects it. Without this a solve string containing an invalid colour would cause an assertion failure: "fill: Assertion `oldcolour != newcolour' failed." While I was in the area I put a range check on colours for normal moves as well. To demonstrate the problem, load this save file: SAVEFILE:41:Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection VERSION :1:1 GAME :5:Flood PARAMS :7:6x6c6m5 CPARAMS :7:6x6c6m3 DESC :39:432242034203340350204502505323231342,17 NSTATES :1:2 STATEPOS:1:2 MOVE :2:S6
* More validation of solve moves in FloodBen Harris2023-02-13
| | | | | | | | To avoid assertion failures while painting it, we need to ensure that the purported solution in a solve move doesn't include filling with the current top-left colour at any point. That means checking the first entry against the current top-left colours, and each later one against its predecessor.
* Cleanly reject more ill-formed solve moves in FloodBen Harris2023-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The fix in e4112b3 was incomplete: there was another assertion that could be failed by a save file with an ill-formed solve move. That now gets rejected properly. Here's an example save file to demonstrate the problem: SAVEFILE:41:Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection GAME :5:Flood PARAMS :7:6x6c6m0 CPARAMS :7:6x6c6m0 DESC :39:000000000000000000000000000000000000,00 NSTATES :1:2 STATEPOS:1:2 MOVE :1:S
* Remove various unused game functionsBen Harris2023-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If can_configure is false, then the game's configure() and custom_params() functions will never be called. If can_solve is false, solve() will never be called. If can_format_as_text_ever is false, can_format_as_text_now() and text_format() will never be called. If can_print is false, print_size() and print() will never be called. If is_timed is false, timing_state() will never be called. In each case, almost all puzzles provided a function nonetheless. I think this is because in Puzzles' early history there was no "game" structure, so the functions had to be present for linking to work. But now that everything indirects through the "game" structure, unused functions can be left unimplemented and the corresponding pointers set to NULL. So now where the flags mentioned above are false, the corresponding functions are omitted and the function pointers in the "game" structures are NULL.
* Cleanly reject ill-formed solve moves in FloodBen Harris2023-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A solve move containing characters other than digits and commas would cause an assertion failure, "*p == ','", in execute_move(). Such a move can't as far as I know be generated in play, but can be read from a corrupt save file. Here's a sample of such a save file: SAVEFILE:41:Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection VERSION :1:1 GAME :5:Flood PARAMS :7:3x3c6m5 CPARAMS :7:3x3c6m5 DESC :12:403011503,10 NSTATES :1:2 STATEPOS:1:2 SOLVE :2:SA
* Forbid moves that fill with the current colour in FloodBen Harris2023-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This avoids an assertion failure, "oldcolour != newcolour" in fill(), by catching it it execute_move(). As far as I know this couldn't be triggered from the UI, but it could be demonstrated with this save file: SAVEFILE:41:Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection VERSION :1:1 GAME :5:Flood PARAMS :1:3 CPARAMS :1:3 DESC :12:231353400,11 NSTATES :1:3 STATEPOS:1:3 MOVE :2:M3 MOVE :2:M3

* Prevent starting in a solved state in Fifteen & FloodChris Boyle2022-12-16

* New backend function: current_key_label()Ben Harris2022-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides a way for the front end to ask how a particular key should be labelled right now (specifically, for a given game_state and game_ui). This is useful on feature phones where it's conventional to put a small caption above each soft key indicating what it currently does. The function currently provides labels only for CURSOR_SELECT and CURSOR_SELECT2. This is because these are the only keys that need labelling on KaiOS. The concept of labelling keys also turns up in the request_keys() call, but there are quite a few differences. The labels returned by current_key_label() are dynamic and likely to vary with each move, while the labels provided by request_keys() are constant for a given game_params. Also, the keys returned by request_keys() don't generally include CURSOR_SELECT and CURSOR_SELECT2, because those aren't necessary on platforms with pointing devices. It might be possible to provide a unified API covering both of this, but I think it would be quite difficult to work with. Where a key is to be unlabelled, current_key_label() is expected to return an empty string. This leaves open the possibility of NULL indicating a fallback to button2label or the label specified by request_keys() in the future. It's tempting to try to implement current_key_label() by calling interpret_move() and parsing its output. This doesn't work for two reasons. One is that interpret_move() is entitled to modify the game_ui, and there isn't really a practical way to back those changes out. The other is that the information returned by interpret_move() isn't sufficient to generate a label. For instance, in many puzzles it generates moves that toggle the state of a square, but we want the label to reflect which state the square will be toggled to. The result is that I've generally ended up pulling bits of code from interpret_move() and execute_move() together to implement current_key_label(). Alongside the back-end function, there's a midend_current_key_label() that's a thin wrapper around the back-end function. It just adds an assertion about which key's being requested and a default null implementation so that back-ends can avoid defining the function if it will do nothing useful.
* Centralise initial clearing of the puzzle window.Simon Tatham2021-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't know how I've never thought of this before! Pretty much every game in this collection has to have a mechanism for noticing when game_redraw is called for the first time on a new drawstate, and if so, start by covering the whole window with a filled rectangle of the background colour. This is a pain for implementers, and also awkward because the drawstate often has to _work out_ its own pixel size (or else remember it from when its size method was called). The backends all do that so that the frontends don't have to guarantee anything about the initial window contents. But that's a silly tradeoff to begin with (there are way more backends than frontends, so this _adds_ work rather than saving it), and also, in this code base there's a standard way to handle things you don't want to have to do in every backend _or_ every frontend: do them just once in the midend! So now that rectangle-drawing operation happens in midend_redraw, and I've been able to remove it from almost every puzzle. (A couple of puzzles have other approaches: Slant didn't have a rectangle-draw because it handles even the game borders using its per-tile redraw function, and Untangle clears the whole window on every redraw _anyway_ because it would just be too confusing not to.) In some cases I've also been able to remove the 'started' flag from the drawstate. But in many cases that has to stay because it also triggers drawing of static display furniture other than the background.
* Add method for frontends to query the backend's cursor location.Franklin Wei2020-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Rockbox frontend allows games to be displayed in a "zoomed-in" state targets with small displays. Currently we use a modal interface -- a "viewing" mode in which the cursor keys are used to pan around the rendered bitmap; and an "interaction" mode that actually sends keys to the game. This commit adds a midend_get_cursor_location() function to allow the frontend to retrieve the backend's cursor location or other "region of interest" -- such as the player location in Cube or Inertia. With this information, the Rockbox frontend can now intelligently follow the cursor around in the zoomed-in state, eliminating the need for a modal interface.
* Use C99 bool within source modules.Simon Tatham2018-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | This is the main bulk of this boolification work, but although it's making the largest actual change, it should also be the least disruptive to anyone interacting with this code base downstream of me, because it doesn't modify any interface between modules: all the inter-module APIs were updated one by one in the previous commits. This just cleans up the code within each individual source file to use bool in place of int where I think that makes things clearer.
* Replace TRUE/FALSE with C99 true/false throughout.Simon Tatham2018-11-13
| | | | | | This commit removes the old #defines of TRUE and FALSE from puzzles.h, and does a mechanical search-and-replace throughout the code to replace them with the C99 standard lowercase spellings.
* Adopt C99 bool in the game backend API.Simon Tatham2018-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | encode_params, validate_params and new_desc now take a bool parameter; fetch_preset, can_format_as_text_now and timing_state all return bool; and the data fields is_timed, wants_statusbar and can_* are all bool. All of those were previously typed as int, but semantically boolean. This commit changes the API declarations in puzzles.h, updates all the games to match (including the unfinisheds), and updates the developer docs as well.
* Add a request_keys() function with a midend wrapper.Franklin Wei2018-04-22
| | | | | | | | This function gives the front end a way to find out what keys the back end requires; and as such it is mostly useful for ports without a keyboard. It is based on changes originally found in Chris Boyle's Android port, though some modifications were needed to make it more flexible.
* Return error messages as 'const char *', not 'char *'.Simon Tatham2017-10-01
| | | | | They're never dynamically allocated, and are almost always string literals, so const is more appropriate.
* Use a proper union in struct config_item.Simon Tatham2017-10-01
| | | | | | This allows me to use different types for the mutable, dynamically allocated string value in a C_STRING control and the fixed constant list of option names in a C_CHOICES.
* New name UI_UPDATE for interpret_move's return "".Simon Tatham2017-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now midend.c directly tests the returned pointer for equality to this value, instead of checking whether it's the empty string. A minor effect of this is that games may now return a dynamically allocated empty string from interpret_move() and treat it as just another legal move description. But I don't expect anyone to be perverse enough to actually do that! The main purpose is that it avoids returning a string literal from a function whose return type is a pointer to _non-const_ char, i.e. we are now one step closer to being able to make this code base clean under -Wwrite-strings.
* Rework the preset menu system to permit submenus.Simon Tatham2017-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To do this, I've completely replaced the API between mid-end and front end, so any downstream front end maintainers will have to do some rewriting of their own (sorry). I've done the necessary work in all five of the front ends I keep in-tree here - Windows, GTK, OS X, Javascript/Emscripten, and Java/NestedVM - and I've done it in various different styles (as each front end found most convenient), so that should provide a variety of sample code to show downstreams how, if they should need it. I've left in the old puzzle back-end API function to return a flat list of presets, so for the moment, all the puzzle backends are unchanged apart from an extra null pointer appearing in their top-level game structure. In a future commit I'll actually use the new feature in a puzzle; perhaps in the further future it might make sense to migrate all the puzzles to the new API and stop providing back ends with two alternative ways of doing things, but this seemed like enough upheaval for one day.
* Add a missing error message in Flood solve_game().Simon Tatham2015-12-24
| | | | | | The only situation in which it actually can't find a solution is if the puzzle is already solved, in which case it can at least fill in *error to say so before it returns NULL.
* Fix a compile warning on ARM.Simon Tatham2015-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | Aapo Rantalainen points out that comparing 'char c' against zero gives rise to gcc's "comparison is always false" warning, which escalates to an error under -Werror. This is one of those situations where the warning is doing more harm than good, but here's a rephrasing which casts to unsigned so that both negative numbers and positive out-of-range ones can be caught by the same comparison.
* Improve the Flood solver.Simon Tatham2015-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously it simply chose every move based on the static evaluation function 'minimise the pair (longest shortest-path to any square, number of squares at that distance)'. Now it looks three moves ahead recursively, and I've also adjusted the evaluation function to tie- break based on the number of squares brought to distance zero (i.e. actually in control). The result isn't an unconditional improvement on the old solver; in a test run based on 'flood --generate 1000 12x12c6m0#12345' I found that 57 out of 1000 grids tested now had longer solutions. However, about three quarters had shorter ones, and solutions are more than a move shorter on average.
* Revise the Flood preset list.Simon Tatham2015-01-13
| | | | | | | The ones I started with were a bit under-varied and over-orthogonal. Get rid of some of the more pointless things like 16x16 with lots of extra moves, and add some with different colour counts. While I'm here, make the menu descriptions nicer.
* New puzzle: 'Flood'.Simon Tatham2015-01-12
Based on a web game I saw a few years ago, and dashed off this weekend after I thought of a way to write a good (though not quite optimal) heuristic solver, here's a random little thing not quite in the same line as the most usual kind of Puzzles fare: instead of making you scratch your head to find any move to make at all, it's easy to find solutions in principle, and the challenge comes from having to do so within a move limit.
