• tuxmathscrabble 0.5.0-FINAL file released: TuxMathScrabble-0.5.0-FINAL-LIN.tgz

  ================================= CHANGES TuxMathScrabble-0.5.0-FINAL December 24, 2007 ================================= None from rc5. ================================= CHANGES TuxMathScrabble-0.5.0-rc5 December 23, 2007 ================================= MAX_REPLACEMENTS_L1-4: This directly affects the number of possibilities considered by the computer player, and thus how long each computer player takes to move. Physically, this parameter controls the number of "wildcards" to attempt to incorporate from the existing entries on the board. So, if the computer player is taking too long, reduce this parameter by one for the level on which you wish to play (L1-L4). Changed the tile style from double line border to single line. Restored alpha-layer configurability for tiles. Added call to set_colorkey of highscore surface during play. Hiding some parameters (toggling showme=0) to reduce clutter in the admin control panel. ================================= CHANGES TuxMathScrabble-0.5.0-rc4 December 20, 2007 ================================= Migrated from deprecated wxPython.wx package to wx.* packages. This eliminates old/harmless crash-on-exit under MS-Windows. In method tmssolver.generate_expressions the variable MAX_REPLACEMENTS is a list, but was being refered to as an integer. This was an unfinished modification, apparantly, and although it did not cause a crash, the effect was to make the computer player to be a more difficult opponent than intended on lower skill levels. The subsequent references have now been modified like MAX_REPLACEMENTS[self.LEVEL-1], which was the original intent. Added "(Linux only)" to F9-line in help overlay. Increased default value of MAXNUM_LEVEL_4 variable to include 20 (was previously 19). Sound functionality restored. ================================= CHANGES TuxMathScrabble-0.5.0-rc3 December 19, 2007 ================================= Removed rotozoom operation on animated tiles and replaced with fixed-size images, still rotozoomed, but with scale-factor=1, for starters. Restored recording of high scores to encourage competition. Changed the way the admin controls get called; previously it was called @tms.handle_events(). Now it's called in TuxMathScrabbleApp loop (top of tms.py file). No change in functionality. Changed call in CftCtrl.py so calls self.reload_configs() rather than previous self.reload(cfgname), which was crashing under certain circumstances. ================================= CHANGES TuxMathScrabble-0.5.0-rc2 December 15, 2007 ================================= Fixed transparency of score widget when background image is configured to be used. Added who's turn indicators. Added difficulty level indicator (1-4). Restored all character animations. "None" is now a character option. Using tile-color-coded score strings instead of score-string widget in rc1. Also using some better font settings from current development version of TuxWordSmith. See the page: http://www.asymptopia.org/staticpages/index.php?page=tws-greek-english Added global_config variable PLAYER_WAIT_COUNTER, which is checked during tms.update() to determine if should queue waiting maneuver. (looks/gestures/antics) Bad animated tile graphics replaced using images from preliminary 3D blender modeling experiments. Button surfaces created dynamically -- this was last type surf remaining to be dealt with on-the-fly. TuxMathScrabble splash screen while loading global_config-dependent variables. (initially and after admin control panel popdown) ================================= CHANGES TuxMathScrabble-0.5.0-rc1 December 13, 2007 ================================= Self-contained, no longer built upon libasymptopia. Now only 571k! Dynamic tile creation, dynamic tile placement of submission for computer player; ie, computer player's tiles no longer simply appear at final submission location, but are now animated to travel along line between tray and submission spot. 0,1 or 2 human players (0=screensaver mode). The 2 human players mode is new. Keyboard HotKeys: F1 Key: Cycle through game levels F4 Key: Screensaver mode F5 Key: Shuffle tiles in place F8 Key: Exchange all tiles and sacrifice turn F9 Key: Show help F10 Key: Show credits F11 Key: Screenshot to HOME directory F12 Key: Fullscreen ESC Key: Quit New hat for player[1] character. No cpu overhead when idle. No accounts/logins. Anyone can tweak the settings. Defaults are easily recovered by clicking the 'Default' button for each configurable parameter in the admin control panel. Dynamic/realtime application of changes made through admin control panel. Fixed bgImage loading function. MacFix?: Interchanged lines 26/27 in environment.py so search for 'darwin', the OS-X machine name, first. (previous env search for 'win' was finding 'darwin' on macs, thereby precluding correct install on macs). NEED: Feedback from a Mac user please. And lots more. Much more has been changed, but these are the most noticable to the user. =========================== CHANGES TuxMathScrabble-0.4.5 =========================== Fixing small mess I made by changing version of underlying lib for 0.5.1 TuxWordSmith and leaving numbering the same (0.1.3) for TWS and TMS, both, which breaks the first app installed, if you have both TWS and TMS installed, since the 2nd install overwrites with a lib that's numbered the same but different in content. whoops. So this TMS-0.4.5 uses the newly modified lib 0.1.3, and even though it's the same number as the lib in TMS-0.4.4, it's of different content. It would be better to make lib 0.1.4, but too lazy to go through all those files and change that import. So, just install new version of TMS. This does not affect the windows versions since they are self- contained and refer only to their own local subdirectories. =========================== CHANGES TuxMathScrabble-0.4.3 =========================== Multi-resolution simulation module to generate example assessment data High Scores fixed up Character browser unfinished 3D character experiments =========================== CHANGES TuxMathScrabble-0.4.2 =========================== Changed version numbering to be more consistent with other programs sharing same base code (TuxWordSmith, StepIntoChinese). Fixed bug in ColorDialog and saveCB Added "About" button to login group. =========================== CHANGES TuxMathScrabble-4.1 =========================== -Admin GUI Widgets w/Hide Option -asymptopia base template -eliminated EduApp base package =========================== CHANGES TuxMathScrabble-4.0 =========================== -Separated EduApp framework -Code changes for compatability -Some new graphics -First move begins at center -New Fireworks -Sound support -Other miscellaneous
