Ack, and I will do so soonish, hopefully this weekend, (I'm very busy atm,=
=20
sorry). I also definitly want a better version in etch (the next debian=20
version which is supposed to be released in December 2oo6), so we need to=20
have it in unstable long before that, so it gets proper testing.

No strictly a need, but a very nice to have: give tuxmath a version number!=
 :)
So far, it has only been released with a date-revision like "2001.09.07" or=
=20
"0.0.20050316". I'm not sure if "1.0" is yet appropriate (but you decide),=
=20
but something like "1.0" or "0.9" or $whatever would surely be very nice.

Having the version number somewhere in the source (setup.h?) is sufficient,=
=20
having the svn version in the README is fine, though having it there as wel=
l=20
is also nice. Your choice.

Also, you could have a look at http://tuxmath.sourceforge.net/ and try to=20
change that or point to a better page.

No, thats not neccessary. (And not useful.)

[Tuxmath-devel] TuxMath progress - svn revision 9

[David B. <db...@ta...>]

Dear Tuxmath colleagues,

I have just committed revision 9 to the svn repository. Highlights include:

1. Better support for playing through a defined list of questions - the player 
wins if the list is finished with at least one surviving city, with a 
simple "victory" screen showing Tux dancing.  If all cities get blown up, the 
old "Game Over" graphic appears.  In this mode, there is now a counter at the 
top of the screen showing the number of remaining questions, and the LED 
numbers display in a "flat panel monitor" on top of Tux's console.  This mode 
is selectable with the "--norepeats" command line argument.

2.  Support for questions in the forms num1 + ? = num3 and ? + num2 = num3.  
These are off by default but can be selected with the command line arguments
"--answersfirst" and "--answersmiddle", respectively.

Everything seems to work correctly by my own testing.  I would like to get 
this revision into Debian unstable, if possible, so perhaps some more kids 
and parents can test it.


Best wishes,

David Bruce

p.s. Holger, is there anything else I need to do to "release" any of these 
revisions to the public?  Am I supposed to be putting binaries in the svn 
repository as well as my updated source?  On a related note, I have had 
several local parents ask about a version for (gulp) Windows, so I am 
starting to look into learning to do a Windows build.

[Tuxmath-devel] TuxMath commit to svn

[David B. <db...@ta...>]

Dear TuxMath Colleagues,

I have just committed a major tuxmath update to the svn repository (revision 
8).  The code has been overhauled fairly extensively, mainly with the 
addition of a backend to generate question lists and keep track of correctly 
and incorrectly answered questions.  There is not much different that is 
visible to the user as of yet.  There should be a number of smaller commits 
adding new features in the upcoming weeks.

Holger - although everything seems to work properly, there is a lot of new 
code in this release that should probably be tested more before packaging.

Best wishes,

Yes - so far, I have not done commits unless the changes are more or less

I am working on it as actively as my time and family allow.  The source is now 
housed in a Subversion repository at: 

https://svn.tux4kids.net/tuxmath/

The earliest version in the repository is the same as the one in Debian.  The 
repository is up to revision 7.  The visible changes include addition of an 
initial speed control to the Options screen (thanks Yves Combe), addition of 
mouse support to the Options screen, support for allowing subtraction answers 
to be negative, and revision of the optional on-screen touchpad to support 
negative answer input.

> how did the code that David Bruce was working on go? 

My next commit to svn will be fairly major.  I have (almost) written a backend 
that I have called "MathCards" that encapsulates all of the code related to 
generation of math questions.  It allows much more fine-grained control of 
the question ranges and a lot of options, such as whether to recycle 
incorrectly answered questions into the "deck of flashcards".  The new code 
is contained in two new files, mathcards.c and mathcards.h and could easily 
be reused if someone wrote a new game with a different interface (say, a KDE 
game for example).  This also allows for a lot of simplification of game.c.  
I am trying to get the "official" tuxmath source in Subversion caught up to 
my private modifications, and the next commit will largely do that.

Good idea - will do that.

As an option, the game finishes with "victory" when the player has correctly 
answered all questions in the list specified by various options, now 
contained in a struct called math_opts in mathcards.h.

I could commit the new code to svn any time, but I thought I should at least 
get it fully fleshed-out - should not be more than a couple of weeks.

The main limitation is that I want to be able to read and write the math_opts 
struct to disk as a config file that could be modified with a text editor.  
As it stands now, I can only make use of the fine-grained control by changing 
the defaults in mathcards.h and recompiling, which isn't very applicable to 
wider distribution.  Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.  
Eventually I want to do a thorough overhaul of the Options screen, as most 
ordinary users will find editing config files to be unacceptable. 

Thanks,

I was wondering if tuxmath is still alive?

how did the code that David Bruce was working on go? David I am really
interested in your speed control code. I think an option to slow the
comets down after an incorrect answer would be useful for the younger
kids. I would also like a option to set a goal or mission for the
kids. like to complete 5 waves.

Also if there was a victory graphic at each wave, that would be cool.

In tuxmath-2001.09.07-0102.i386.rpm the game*mod files have the

Thanks for these changes.
I would contribute if I could, but I'm not a programer
at all.
All I could do is translate the program in french.
By the way, how to compile your version to windows? I
can't figure how to do and I would like to include Tux

my pupils.

Glad to see that Tux Maths is still alive (well, a
little).

[Tuxmath-devel] hello everyone

[David B. <db...@ta...>]

I have been hacking on tuxmath for the last two weeks or so for the benefit of 
my seven year old daughter.  I have been working from the sources in Debian 
Sid.  So far, I have made the following changes:
1.  limiting the game to two comets and preventing speed-up with new levels 
(probably not of general interest - done to keep my daughter from panicking).
2.  added support for negative answers for subtraction - this probably is of 
general interest.  Today I plan to implement a negative sign to the LED 
display, and also a command-line option regarding negative answers.
3. modifications to the graphics - our helmet penguin on the options screen 
has a pink bow to signify a girl penguin.  This is pretty trivial, but 
perhaps some parents would desire this customization.  At any rate, my 
daughter got a kick out of it.

I am currently working on a significant overhaul of the "Options" menu.  I 
want to implement finer-grained control of the question ranges, and also to 
give the child player a "mission" to complete.  As it stands now, the game 
always ends in defeat, albeit maybe with a lot of points.  I would like to be 
able to designate a set of math problems for kids to answer, and if they do 
so while keeping the cities alive, they win, with a "victory" screen and 
perhaps a printable certificate.

I have not previously contributed to open-source projects.  I have done a fair 
amount of C and C++ programming for my own amusement over the last ten years.  
I will read up on patch and other utilities.

[Tuxmath-devel] More changes in CVS

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

The following changes have been commited (comet'ed?) to CVS :)

-bill!

----- Forwarded message from Glen Ditchfield -----

Date: Mon, 07 Mar 2005 22:39:09 -0600
From: Glen Ditchfield
Subject: Tuxmath patch
To: bi...@ne...

Here's a patch for Tux of Math Command, and three supporting files.  If I 
created the patch correctly, then "patch -p0 < answer.diff" in a directory 
checked out from CVS earlier today should apply the changes.  Copy the two 
pngs into data/images/comets and the wav into data/sounds, and you should be 
good to go.
  The most important change is that when a comet hits a city, the formula 
displayed on the comet is replaced by the correct answer, so that the 
students can learn from their mistakes.
   Other changes:
- At slow speeds the game tended to draw comets on top of each other, which 
really frustrated my son.  I put in some code to spread them out a bit.
- Comets sizzle when hit.
- Since the formula on a comet never changes, I calculated the string to 
display once, and took the sprintf call out of the inner loop.
- Tidier linkage.  You had static definitions in .h files, so every .c file 
that included the .h file had a separate copy of the defined items.  I made 
them shared extern items, or static items inside .c files, as seemed 
appropriate.
- Makefile: I compile with -g and strip during installation, so I can use a 
debugger during development.

[Tuxmath-devel] Result after the game over

[HatiBudak <inh...@ya...>]

Can you include a new *page* in the game where as it
will shows the result after the game over?

In short:
after the game is over, it will displays overall
result

+-------------------------+

Correct: 10 (for the right answers)
Wrong: 2 (for the wrong answers)
Total score: 1317
Total Time: 2 minutes and 20 seconds

Press ESC to continue

+-------------------------+

for the right answer of course when it hits the
comet..and for the wrong answer when they miss to
answer the questions correctly and the comet hits the
cities...

Thank you.

Heh, well, it should really be chmod'd properly when it gets installed!
(Either by the Makefile or by an RPM or DEB package.)

I forget, did you say you installed it from an RPM?  If so, did you get
it from my site?  If so, I can try and track down who built the RPM and
see if they can fix it. ;^)

In the meantime, I'll try to remember to check my "make install" procedure,
in case it's missing a chmod.

Wasn't aware that I needed the SDL-packag. So I installed everything

rpm -qa|grep -i sdl
SDL_ttf-2.0.6-67
SDLmm-0.1.8-713

It didn't help to install the SDL-stuff:
tuxmath &

Error: I couldn't load a music file:
/usr/local/share/tuxmath/sounds/game.mod
The Simple DirectMedia error that occured was:
Couldn't read from '/usr/local/share/tuxmath/sounds/game.mod'
 
In the rpm-docs it says
"Due to popular demand, here is a simple multi-channel audio mixer.
It supports 8 channels of 16 bit stereo audio, plus a single channel
of music, mixed by the popular MikMod MOD, Timidity MIDI and SMPEG MP3
libraries."

so I'm puzzled it won't take the game.mod-file.

[Tuxmath-devel] RE: possible features for tuxmath

[Tim K. <tka...@ma...>]

Bill,

I don't know anything about programming, so what I am about to suggest will
probably make that perfectly obvious. The greatest possibility that I can
see for Tuxmath is a teacher's interface that would allow the teacher to
enter a problem set for the students to work on. Right now the game just
seems to go on forever unless the student is not successful. If I were
planning to use this in the classroom I would want to specify the type and
number of problems the student would have to do. Then at the end of the
"attack" have commander tux report to the student the number of correct
responses and perhaps decorate them with a gold, silver, or bronze star. If
the student scored below a certain level they would be kicked back to
"academy" or some such thing where they could do some remedial work.

If that type of approach is to complicated, or you don't care to expend the
energy, then perhaps some libraries of problem sets could be coded in. For
example there would be 100 problems of addition with no carrying and then
100 problems (or 50 or 25) where the student added with carrying, and
subtraction with no renaming ... The teacher could then instruct the student
to select a topic from a menu. The difficulty of the problems does not
necessarily need to increase from one level to the next, the challenge could
be the speed of the comets.

I am willing to compile a list of problem sets for you if you wish.

I push the integration of technology in the classroom very hard with my
fellow teachers, but I also push the fact that it needs to be an integral
part of their lessons. For Tuxmath to fit in that category, there has to be
a coherent objective to the problems the students are getting, and it would
be a very powerful tool with a teacher configuration tool.

FWIW

Subject: [Tuxmath-devel] Speed patch


Just added a patch I noticed sitting over at sourceforge that
makes comet falling speed based on the wave, and multiplied by an
overall value (which can be altered with a new "--speed" option)

Default --speed value is 1.0.  Give it 2.0 for the game to start off 2x as
fast.  Give it 0.5 to start off 1/2x as fast.  Etc.

Thanks to Michael Behrisch <behrisch at users.sourceforge.net> for the patch
Sorry I didn't notice it sooner!

Bill,

I saw your post over at k12ltsp. Since I am really pretty useless when it
comes to contributing at the OS level, I jumped at the chance to help with
the content part of tuxmath. I am a math/physics teacher by trade so I might
be able to give some good input on problem sets at organizing topics. I will
go fire up my real computer and play with commander tux a bit and send back
some ideas. I can also consult with some elementary teachers about their
curriculum. btw, my 3 year old loves tux paint.
