In curses version there's no new-game dialog, so if the params passed in
don't give enough information NewGame menu can't be handled. Rather than
asserting later, refuse after posting an explanation.
It's awkward for platform code to create a dictionary prior to opening a
game whose data contains the information about what dict to open. So add
a dutil method to fetch a dict, and call it from inside game opening
code. Makes linux code better at least.
I'm fixing android client not showing stats for or allowing to disable
mqtt after it's added automatically to a game that connects
otherwise. Problem was that only the channel got the mqtt address
flag. So now add the flag for any type that's added.
Supid bug generating keys from __FILE__ meant each release
build (usually done in /tmp/$$, or on a travis server) had a new key and
generated a new MQTT devID (and other stuff less frequently used.)
Replace the keys with something that won't change, and as a temporary
fix so the upgrade including this fix doesn't generate new keys use the
most recent stored key matching the suffix the old keys will have had in
common.
If a configured-as-host game joined an existing game the relay would
make it a guest. The android util_ callback for that change was only
implemented in BoardDelegate and so the change was dropped unless the
game was open/visible. Because comms recorded the change, though, the
callback would never be called again and so the game never learned to
behave as a guest and never registered: permanent failure to join game!
Implemented with a new server state so initClientConnection can be
called from server_do() instead of inside comms while processing an
incoming packet.
Add a basic regular expression engine to the dictiter, and to the UI add
the ability to filter for "starts with", "contains" and "ends with",
which translate into ANDed RE_*, _*RE_* and _*RE, respectively (with
_ standing for blank/wildcard). The engine's tightly integrated with the
next/prevWord() functions for greatest possible speed, but unless
there's no pattern does slow things down a bit (especially when "ENDS
WITH" is used.) The full engine is not exposed (users can't provide raw
REs), and while the parser will accept nesting (e.g. ([AB]_*[CD]){2,5}
to mean words from 2-5 tiles long starting with A or B and ending with C
or D) the engine can't handle it. Which is why filtering for word length
is handled separately from REs (but also tightly integrated.)
Users can enter strings that don't map to tiles. They now get an
error. It made sense for the error alert to have a "Show tiles"
button, so there's now a dialog listing all the tiles in a wordlist,
something the browser has needed all along.
This is meant to replace the relay eventually, but for now it's a new
option, like BT or SMS, to be chosen. Protocol is handled in common/
code for the first time, meaning that linux and android interact without
the need to keep two platforms in sync. Linux uses lib-mosquitto, and
Android uses eclipse's Paho client (the generic java version, not the
one that uses four-year-old Service patterns and so crashes for SDK >=
26.)
Hungarian is unique (so far) in having two-letter tiles that can be
spelled with one-letter tiles AND in allowing words to be spelled both
ways. This crashed search based on strings because there were
duplicates. So now search is done by tile arrays. Strings are first
converted, and then IFF there is more than one tile array result AND the
wordlist has the new flag indicating that duplicates are possible, THEN
the user is asked to choose among the possible tile spellings of the
search string.
Fixing a problem with languages (like Hungarian) where it's legal to use
a two-letter tile or two single-letter tiles to play the same word. When
words are seen, or searched for, as char-arrays, there are
duplicates. Current code crashes, but there's also risk the user gets
unexpected behavior. Crash is fixed, and foundation laid for better UX,
by doing all searches for tile arrays. If a search string translates to
more than one tile array the user must choose. For that choice to make
sense it's now possible to translate tile[] to char[] with a delimiter
between the tile strings.
I was getting an occasional crash using a stale env to delete a dict's
resources because the dict was cacheing the env that created it. Dumb!
Using the thread->env mapping stuff worked, but that felt risky and so I
tried just passing it in. It's safe, and involves an amount of change I
can tolerate. So likely going that way.
Turns out the host, when inviting a remote device, needs to know how
many players are on it (since more than one is supported and the script
currently generates that case.) So pass to --server devices an array,
one per remote -- but don't bother when all entries are "1";
With reject-phonies set this will trigger the reject path.
Also init CommonPrefs in jni land since its makePhonyPct, left unitialized,
causes the robot to deliberately reverse every turn, firing an assertion that the
robot's moves are legal.
Currently detects the same as tiles not in a line and calls out to a new
util method that's currently parameter-less. On Android the option only
appears in d variants.
There are still some stalls turning up when running the test script,
especially with more than two players in a game, but but it'll be
easier to do the final debugging off my pathetic travel-only
chromebook. And things are already much better. :-)
