message over and over when getting updated by GCM. The problem
occurred when one device had an un-ACKable initial message still in
its queue. I call resendAll a lot, which caused that message to get
resent to the other game which then replied without being able to ACK
it so it remained to be sent again. This would continue until users
moved forward in the game. The fix is to add a backoff timer to
resendAll() so that it can't loop. The timer is reset when an ackable
and new message is received, meaning there's been a change in what's
available to resend. And since users calling resendAll manually
expect it to do something, add a force param that ignores the backoff.
seems to fix the problem (but needs a lot of testing.)
dict, give chance to switch, and to download if required. Because of
the way the JNI thread works, and JNI's requirement in general that
env instances match up (e.g. dicts must be destroyed in the same
thread that creates them), substituting into a live game is too hard.
So the game's saved with its new dict and then reloaded.
save what it had ACK'd leaving the game permanently broken. Do that
by adding a new method game_saveSucceeded() called after the client
claims to have committed bytes returned by game_writeToStream() to
disk. In that method comms updates the value it'll use in subseqent
ACKs.
used by server. Clients need to care if e.g. the server's disallowing
phonies based on its dict. Can only be sent if client is of latest
version. In that case, common code calls into new util function. In
future changes, BoardActivity's implemention of the callback will need
to check if the server's choice of dict is available, and if not offer
to download it. Once it's available, will want to install it.

what percent of the times that timer fires will result in a move being
undone. Will be used to interject random out-of-order undos into
games played for testing. (Currently the tests fail when this is
enabled; I need to fix that.)
messages they must be handled by the relay in order. So modify linux
client to build a single packet of all messages sent instead of
letting rq sent each on a separate socket. The relay would give the
sockets to different threads and sometimes the wrong one won. Will
need to make sure the android code's doing the same thing (it appears
to be), or perhaps make the coalescing code common so I only debug it
once.
to query model for values. Now everybody else queries new model API
rather than client via util_getSquareBonus(), model uses its internal
values if present otherwise falls back to util_getSquareBonus(), and
internalizes the array as part of the game. Now it should be easier
to have different bonus patterns and to have them exchanged as part of
network game init.
to enable it for a game yet). In common code, break pick tile utils
method in two, one for blank and the other for tray tiles. In java,
implement dialog for picking the tiles. Works, though is a bit clumsy
to have the dialog come and go after every pick. Better would be a
dialog that stays up and accumulates picks -- but it'd have to know to
reduce the set of tile choices as letters are chosen. This'll do for
now.
util_userQuery(QUERY_ROBOT_MOVE) with new util_informMove(), into
which the number of words formed and the words themselves are passed.
The process of consing up the score explanation was already passing
over the model, so storing the words is very little effort, and will
save a call back into the model where the user actually wants to do
the lookup.
param gives name of Unix domain socket to be used to accept connection
that passes in messages from relay and receives messages to be sent
back. Works once but needs debugging....
