This also fixes a very old (but minor) bug: when a word containing a
joker was played "manually" (i.e. not via a round generated by the
Results class but via the Game::checkPlayedWord() method), subsequent
search results using this joker on the board would display it as a
joker, not as a normal tile.
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
- Fixed a crash on Windows
- Do not authorize words if the cross-checks are invalid (it was possible when playing a joker)
- Fixed detextion of invalid moves
- Improved unit tests, and fixed a bug in one of them
Qt interface:
- Do not allow playing a word if the coordinates are missing
- Better focus
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)
