Re: [Gnoga-list] AdaOthello port for Gnoga

2016-03-14 Thread Jeremiah Breeden 
Thank you.  I emailed you the zip file (has both the Gnoga version I ported
and the original Gtk version for reference).  I deleted the build files and
the .exe to make the zip file smaller.

Great!!!

Take care that the size of attached files is limited on the list, a better way 
is to provide a link to zipped files.

When I had ported Connect Four, ones asked for a quit button, so when I've 
ported LinXtris I let the quit button.
Though I agree that the quit button is curious on a web app. I would say let it 
as it is in the original app for a first release.
Then it will be always possible to change ;-)

With the ports I did, I let the original code commented and so I kept the 
original names in order to show how to translate some GTK APIs in Gnoga ones.

Gnoga is GPL 3 but demos are not part of Gnoga library itself.
I guess, the most important is you got agreement from Adrian Hoe.
By the way, it remains me to update AUTHORS file in Gnoga.
