When a master game is defined, the racks and moves played from the
current game will be the same as in the master game. This can be
practical to replay a game in a different mode, or to replay at home a
duplicate game played in a club, for example.
It is mostly working, but many things are still missing.
In particular:
- ability to enter (or change) moves for a past turn
- ability to change the rack (manually, or randomly)
- ability to add/remove players during the game
- support for solos, warnings, penalties
- support for table number
- more ergonomic interface
- non regression tests
- ... and probably bugs to fix
Status:
It works well, but there are still a few details to improve/fix
More details about the changes:
- New dependency on Arabica and Libxml2 to parse the XML
- Loading the old format is still supported for this release, but won't be supported anymore in the next one
- Games are now only saved in the new format
- In training mode, the player is now created externally, like in the other modes
- Avoid using GameIO (the one from game/) whenever possible
- Do not use a FILE* argument anymore when loading a game
- Throw and catch exceptions correctly when a game cannot be loaded or saved
- The non-regression tests now use a new method to print the game history
- Removed logiv from the History class
- Used BOOST_FOREACH to simplify loops
- Remove useless annotations and doxygen blocks
- Added some constness
- Marked Training::setRack() as deprecated
- Improved compilation order in game/
- Use player names in the ncurses interface
- In training mode, create the hidden player in the constructor, not in start()
- When the AI has nothing to play, change the letters instead of simply passing
- New Makefile to build the win32 dependencies automatically (INSTALL file updated)
There are too many change to list properly, here is an overview of the main changes:
- the dictionary is now in C++
- the dictionary has a new format, where it is possible to specify the letters,
their points, their frequency, ... It is backwards compatible.
- Eliot now supports non-ASCII characters everywhere
- i18n of the compdic, listdic, regexpmain binaries
- i18n of the wxWidgets interface (now in english by default)
