Add new script param setting a timeout before which games will be
rematched on finishing. Add new param to ncurses version telling it to
try to rematch when finishing. This introduces a new problem because
now there are multiple games per "device", and various log-grepping
stuff like listing the number of tiles in play or determing whether
device is finished all assumed one game. I addressed the latter by
adding a way to query the DB to see if all games are done, but that's
not quite right because the number of pending messages is increasing
after a game completes. Still, the testing is useful so I'm pushing
this.
This directory contains the desktop Linux port of CrossWords. It
should build and run on any Debian derivative (e.g. Ubuntu or
Raspbian).
You'll need the build tool "make" installed. Once you have that, cd
into this directory and run
# make debs_install
which will get you all the packages the build depends on. Your user
will need sudo capability.
Once that's done, build:
# make MEMDEBUG=TRUE
or
# make
the latter for a release build
If the build succeeds (if it doesn't, and it's not because you changed
something, email me at xwords@eehouse.org), run the debug build thus:
# ./obj_linux_memdbg/xwords
or the release thus:
# ./obj_linux_rel/xwords
Add --help to get a list of all the options.
The first time you launch its main window will be tiny and in the
upper-left corner of your screen. If you resize or move the window the
app will remember its new size and location. Use the buttons and menus
to do stuff. Not all will be obvious, and some stuff may not
work. Always remember that this app exists to develop and test code
whose main target is Android or other mobile platforms, not desktop
Linux.
