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.
The Maven repo that includes the (FOSS) client library for MQTT isn't
approved by the f-droid build system, so for now rip MQTT out of that
variant. Long-term I'll have to fix this, either by persuading the
f-droid folk to permit the library or by building the C client from
source in my jni library -- or when the relay goes away the f-droid
build will cease to offer internet play.
I was really after the situation where a game could never be
opened. There are lots of reasons a single failure can occur, not least
of which is installing via adb while game's open. :-)
It looks bad, especially to a new user we suspect. Also add retries,
hoping that whatever caused the thumbnail to fail to load once will not
happen again.
Get rid of subclasses, since there's not the clear inheritance structure
I imagined. Any dialog type might want a not-again checkbox, or to have a
third button offer an unexpected option. This is a big change that needs
some bake time.
