This directory contains the desktop Linux port of Crosswords.
|
|
|
|
To build, run a shell in this directory and type
|
|
|
|
# make
|
|
or
|
|
# make debug
|
|
or
|
|
# make memdebug
|
|
|
|
Any will work as long as you have both libncurses and libgtk-1.2 and
|
|
the associated headers installed on your system. If you don't you can
|
|
play with the Makefile to build with only GTK or ncurses.
|
|
|
|
Once you've built, go to the linux directory that will be created
|
|
within this one and type, at a minimum
|
|
|
|
# ./xwords -s -n SomeName
|
|
|
|
to get a GTK-based game with the built-in (English) tiles. (Add the
|
|
-u flag to run with ncurses instead of GTK.) There will be no robot
|
|
player, and the hint feature ('?' button) won't work. For that you
|
|
need a real dictionary, which you can build in the dawg directory. If
|
|
you build the BasEnglish2to8.xwd one in dawg/English, this command
|
|
will run a two person game between you and the machine:
|
|
|
|
# ./xwords -s -r robot -n SomeName -d ../../dawg/English/BasEnglish2to8.xwd
|
|
|
|
Here are the commands to launch two copies playing against each other
|
|
over the network. Do these in separate shells both in the same
|
|
directory as the above commands ran in. Launch the one with the -s
|
|
flag (the "server") first.
|
|
|
|
s1# ./xwords -s -r Eric -N -p 4000 -l 4001
|
|
s2# ./xwords -d ../../dawg/English/BasEnglish2to8.xwd -r Kati -p 4001 -l 6002
|
|
|
|
Both of these have "robot" players. Turn one or both -r flags to -n
|
|
for human players who make their own moves.
|
|
|
|
If you want to run them on different machines, just add the -a flag to
|
|
the client telling it on what machine to find the server (since it
|
|
sends the first message, and the server will use the return address
|
|
from that message.)

|
|
|
Please keep in mind that these Linux desktop clients are meant for
|
|
development only, as testbeds for code in ../common/ that will also be
|
|
used for the "real" products on PalmOS, PocketPC, eBookman, etc.
|
|
They're not supposed to be polished.
