Re: FrozenBubble updates and Questions
I have close some more tickets. Thanks! I have reviewed them and also selfspot ticket. Some are fixed but still some need some work. http://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/ticket/141 http://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/ticket/143 http://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/ticket/152 http://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/ticket/156 http://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/ticket/157 http://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/ticket/158 http://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/ticket/159 Please also look at this one http://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/ticket/146 if 0 is deprecated and should not be used. But I have reverted back. Why not. My point is either leave it, or change it properly. But changing it by breaking the feature it is currently performing is not too good. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://zarb.org/~gc/
FrozenBubble
Hi Folks, We have finished all of the tickets that GC pointed out for differences between the new FB and the old one. It is located here: http://github.com/kthakore/frozen-bubble Please not that you will required the SDL 2.5 RC, andd SDLx-TTF from github here: http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl http://github.com/kthakore/SDLx-TTF Please give it a review and let us know.

Re: Games::Frozenbubble is on CPAN
But I'm still wondering if it's really needed. Anyone witnessed sound
distortion? Or is it happening only on Windows? Would that be a bug
specific to the Windows platform in SDL or mikmod?
I will work on this with FROGGS.
Thanks.
Btw we converted the one mikmod file to OGG.
The *.xm one. The header for that file was giving us a lot of trouble.
Oh. That would mean a rough increase of 100% in size with no real
value, it's not too good. What was the trouble? Mikmod doesn't work
anymore?
Btw the 2 player game music seems to still be xm:
frozen-bubble/share/snd/frozen-mainzik-2p.xm
- $save = SDL::Surface-new(-width = $image-width, -height =
$image-height, -depth = 32, -Amask = 0 but true); #- grrr...
this piece of shit of Amask made the surfaces slightly modify along
the print/erase of Hurry and Pause took me so much time to
debug and find that the problem came from a bug when Amask is set to
0xFF00 (while it's -supposed- to be set to 0xFF00 with 32-bit
graphics!!)
- $background-blit($drect, $save, $rects{$image});
+ $save = SDL::Surface-new( SDL_ANYFORMAT, $image-w,
$image-h, 32, 0 , 0, 0, 0); #- grrr... this piece of shit of Amask
made the surfaces slightly modify along the print/erase of Hurry and
Pause took me so much time to debug and find that the problem
came from a bug when Amask is set to 0xFF00 (while it's -supposed-
to be set to 0xFF00 with 32-bit graphics!!)
+ SDL::Video::blit_surface($background, $drect, $save, $rects{$image});
my comment is probably outdated since 0 but true for Amask
disappeared? (did you test long-running Hurry/Pause overlay graphics
and didn't notice any slight visual modification over time?)
Yes. But I think we should have indiviual tests for this stuff. Maybe
when we refactor.
Yes we should have more tests, but either we have tests then we can
rely on them for modifications, or we do modifications first and then
we have to manually test. I don't want a new release of FB with
regressions.
- if ($app-ticks - $$ticks 1000) {
- fb_net::gsend('p');
- $$ticks = $app-ticks;
+ if (SDL::get_ticks() - $ticks 1000) {
+ Games::FrozenBubble::Net::gsend('p');
+ $ticks = SDL::get_ticks();
changing $$ticks by $ticks modifies behaviour, was that really intended?
Yes. I don't know why you had the '$$' but it doesn't work like that.
The $ticks is now just an integer.
Using $$ticks in that subroutine has nothing to do with sdlperl
internals. That code:
-=-=---=-=---=-=---=-=---=-=--
sub mp_ping_if_needed {
my ($ticks) = @_;
if ($app-ticks - $$ticks 1000) {
fb_net::gsend('p');
$$ticks = $app-ticks;
}
}
...
my $ticks = $app-ticks;
while (1) {
mp_ping_if_needed(\$ticks);
...
}
-=-=---=-=---=-=---=-=---=-=--
is broken with your $$ticks = $ticks modification. Do you see what's
happening now?
+
SDL::Video::wm_set_icon(SDL::Video::load_BMP($FPATH/gfx/pinguins/window_icon_penguin.png));
load_BMP for a PNG looks strange
Icons can only be set with BMP on windows. We need to change that. I
will make a note of it to use a .bmp file for windows.
http://sdlperl.ath.cx/projects/SDLPerl/ticket/135
Fine, but does that line of code works on Linux?
- my $tmp = SDL::Surface-new(-width =
$high_rect-width/4, -height = $high_rect-height/4,
- -depth = 32, -Amask = 0
but true)-display_format;
- fb_c_stuff::shrink(surf($tmp),
surf($background-display_format), 0, 0, rect($high_rect), 4);
- $tmp-blit(undef, $app, SDL::Rect-new(-x = $high_posx,
'-y' = $high_posy));
+ my $tmp =
SDL::Video::display_format(SDL::Surface-new($high_rect-w/4,
$high_rect-h/4, 32, 0, 0, 0, 0));
+ #Games::FrozenBubble::CStuff::shrink($tmp,
SDL::Video::display_format($background), 0, 0, $high_rect, 4);
+ SDL::Video::blit_surface($tmp,
SDL::Rect-new(0,0,$tmp-w,$tmp-h), $app, SDL::Rect-new($high_posx,
$high_posy, $tmp-w, $tmp-h));
same - with shrinking disabled the highscores are probably broken?
No the highscores should work. Wait what branch are you on? Redesign?
This was changed later.
I use the branch integration as it was in your http URL earlier. Is
that incorrect?
I doubt the highscores would work without the shrinking stuff
activated. It's how screenshots are rendered. Have you tested it
with a non empty highscores list?
- if ($i) {
- print_('menu', $app, $MENUPOS{xpos_panel}, $ypos, $i,
$imgbin{void_panel}-width, 'center');
- }
- $ypos += $lineheight;
+ print_('menu', $app, $MENUPOS{xpos_panel}, $ypos, $i,
$imgbin{void_panel}-w, 'center') if $i;
+ $ypos += $lineheight;
I think it's better to stick with the old code style (even if it's
probably not perfect) than mixing different code styles; in
particular, I avoid veeer longg
Re: Games::Frozenbubble is on CPAN
Please join us on #sdl irc.perl.org it makes this much eaiser. I have joined the channel but I'm only occasionally available there.. That is fine. But you can ask questions on there faster. Yes. The only problem is there are no logs for other people (and for us) as there is in an ML. Thank you so much for reviewing. Thanks for your patience. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://zarb.org/~gc/
