Working around a bug in Android 11 that broke invitation http urls
getting passed to CrossWords. They always launch the backstop script on
eehouse.org. So modify that script to include a link that will pass the
invitation params to CrossWords via a proprietary scheme it already
registers for. No change to app required!
The last change meant the test whether to show the words under the
pen-down cell would pass when it shouldn't because a drag to an occupied
location didn't register as movement. Change so movement counts to stop
the timer even if it wouldn't change the drag-target's location.
Rather than have a tile revert to its original location if it's dropped
where it can't be (on an occupied tile or outside the board), put it in
the last place it could have been. Do that by only updating cur when
it's to a legal location, and then relocating to cur when drag ends.
If you've bypassed the quick-start game it's probably because you want
to play somebody not yet in the Known Players list. So don't start out
with that list as how you'll invite.
Not at all tested, but now the game's timestamp is kept and passed in to
where it can be used to determine, e.g., which of two Bluetooth device
names to keep for a given opponent.
Got as far as having gtk client display list of previously harvested
known players to be invited. Their addresses, or at least mqtt ids are
saved. Next is to actually invite one.
I have a case where app crashed on launch due to the assert that resend_all()
wasn't being called on a standalone game. That happened because somehow
the game's android-side db entry showed pending packets to send, though the
game type was correct. Fix is to check for game type also, but also to add
a test so comms won't get invoked with a null ptr on release builds.
At least one device was mysteriously losing games. They were winding up
with a group ID for a non-existant group. Now on startup I look for such
games and assign them to a new "recovered games" group. We'll see how
common this is before deciding whether it's a good enough
solution. Another perhaps better solution would be to display all games,
ordered by groups, rather than displaying all known groups and their
games.
