I am very distant from TuxMath lately (not involved in dev, and my son's
still a bit too young to play it), however, it sounds like you're
asking about the Fraction Asteroids game (which presumably plays a bit
like the original arcade game:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroids_(video_game) )

> What does thrust do?

In the original game, and presumably TM's fractions game, you
can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, and apply thrust
(from thrusters or rockets) to move in the direction you're facing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust

And from the page on "Thruster", wikipedia describes a thruster as
"a small propulsive device used by spacecraft and watercraft for
station keeping, attitude control, in the reaction control system, or
long duration low thrust acceleration."

Again, I sadly have to admit I haven't played the asteroids game in TM yet
(I'll have to see how recent TM is in my Ubuntu), but it sounds as though
the game includes comets, which move faster than other objects, which
contain power-ups that you can collect.  (Not sure, but I'd imagine things
like shields, better weapons, etc. being the kinds of power-ups.)
Once collected, you can use the SHIFT key to activate (use, or utilize) the
power-up that you have on-hand.

If I'm way off base, hopefully someone responds quickly. :)
Thanks for translating!

[Tuxmath-devel] How to translate

[Milos S. <sra...@gm...>]

Hello,

when translating the recent tuxmath version, I came to these
expressions, which I do not understand:

Thrust: up arrow or right mouse button.\n
What does thrust do?

Activate Powerup: [Shift].\n
What does powerup mean here

Fast-moving powerup comets
and what does powerup mean here - seems to be something different

[Tuxmath-devel] Broken Build?

If you install binaries to non-standard locations, you have to add
them to your $PATH.  e.g. for a single login, do
"PATH=$PATH:~/tuxmath/builds".  To get it to work all time, you need
to add it to your .bash_profile, e.g.:

PATH=$PATH:~/tuxmath/builds
export PATH

This is pretty standard unix stuff, not really a tuxmath-specific issue.

OK, this could be a bug in our code - t4k_common has a few data files
in addition to the library code itself that get used by tuxmath, so it
sounds like tuxmath can't find the above file.  I'll have to try to
reproduce your setup on my computer to figure out what is going on.

Unless your goal is to help test non-standard install paths, I'd
suggest just using the default prefix.

Best,

I installed t4k_common at the default location as I could not get the
above problem fixed.

Then for installing tuxmath, I did "./configure
--prefix=~/tuxmath/builds/tuxmath?"

The Makefile was generated and I followed it by "make" and "make install".

Now in my ~/tuxmath/builds/tuxmath/ folder, I have 'bin' and 'share'.
Hope this has completed the installation. However, when I ran the
command "tuxmath" from my home folder, it said "The program tuxmath is
not installed".

I went to the folder ~/tuxmath/builds/tuxmath/bin and tried ./tuxmath
But then I got the following error:

Initializing Tux4Kids-Common 0.1.1
load_image(): ERROR could not load required graphics file menu/stop.svg
SDL: SDL_RWFromFile(): No file or no mode specified

Has not the program been installed? If it is, then why can't I run it
from my home folder?

Thank you for finding time to help me.

My guess is that you need to tell ld.so about the path that *contains*
t4k_common, e.g. "sudo ldconfig ~/tuxmath/builds", or more generally
"sudo ldconfig $CUSTOM_PREFIX" if you did "./configure
--prefix=$CUSTOM_PREFIX" when you built t4k_common.

My knowledge of ldconfig is pretty much limited to what I had to learn
to get the linking of t4k_common working on my computers.

I have my t4k_common and gettext installed at ~/tuxmath/builds/

So I ran "sudo ldconfig ~/tuxmath/builds/t4k_common-0.1.1/lib/"

Then going back to my tuxmath directory which is at ~/tuxmath/tuxmath/ , I
ran "./configure --prefix=/home/haris/tuxmath/builds/tuxmath/".

I got the output as:

The above are the last few lines.

I edited the file above including the line "include
/home/haris/tuxmath/builds/t4k_common-0.1.1/lib/" in it. I saved it and ran
ldconfig. But the same error was there.

>Or youcould simply install t4k_common to the default

Installing in the default location would work fine as I had done it the last
time. But since I'm trying to keep everything that I build from source in a
custom location, I'd like to get this working.

Thanks for taking the time to help me.

Re: [Tuxmath-devel] TuxMaths 2.0.1 crashes, 2.0.3 does not provide a Changelog

[David B. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi Joyce AKA Melodie,

OK, I think I remember what was going on - we added a horizontal
"powerup comet" that appears randomly (I think 1/100 of the
questions), and I think we had an issue with the game trying to load a
graphic file that it couldn't locate.  This is from memory - I'm
posting from a windows machine at work right now.

That would fit with the crash appearing randomly after a few minutes
in the middle of a regular tuxmath comet game (as opposed to
factoroids, or menu navigation, etc.).

If that is what you are encountering, than I am almost certain it is
fixed in the latest tarball.

Also - you have a good point about having better standard changelogs.
I guess I've been kind of lazy about them since I never use them
myself because of easy access to changes within git.  As for git vs
svn - well, we used to use svn and never looked back after making the
switch, but we'd best not get into *that* debate here.

Cheers,

David Bruce

p.s. - when I get back to my own computer I'll check into just when
the "powerup comet" crash was fixed, and I'll get back with you.

I wasn't aware that any of the recent releases were crashing under
Linux, although I vaguely recall a problem with number display in the
Factoroids game in 2.0.0.  The 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 win32 builds were
unusably broken (my fault).

I can't read this thread - (login required - I registered just now but
have to be approved by a moderator).  For our purposes, it is better
to post the relevant info directly to this list.

Again, please tell us directly when tuxmath is crashing, and if you
still observe it with 2.0.3.

Here is a snippet from doc/changelog from the 2.0.3 tarball.  Note
that since we moved to git, the "real" changelog is generated by
running "git log" one's clone of the repository.  doc/changelog now
just has a very cursory summary for each tarball release.

doc/changelog snippet:
----------------------------------------------------------

2011.May.04 (git://git.debian.org/tux4kids/tuxmath.git)

	For version 2.0.3:
	- Fix of turn-based multiplayer game in Windows.
	- Tweak of mouse sensitivity for Factoroids
	- Fix of minor build errors appearing under MacPorts.
	
	David Bruce <dav...@gm...>

2011.Apr.27 (git://git.debian.org/tux4kids/tuxmath.git)

	For version 2.0.2:
	- Mainly to replace corrupted win32 build of 2.0.1 that was released.
	- Also fixes some bugs with score display in single-machine
	multiplayer game.

Is the linker on your system set up to handle libraries installed in
non-standard locations?  You probably have to run ldconfig to tell
ld.so where to find the library, e.g. if you have installed t4k_common
at ~/lib/t4k_common.so, you might try "ldconfig ~/lib" (not tested).
Or you could add your custom library path to /etc/ld.so.conf.  Or you
could simply install t4k_common to the default location
(/usr/local/lib) where it should be located without difficulty (you
might have to run "ldconfig" once without arguments the first time you
do this on your system).  Look at man ldconfig.

Let us know if the above doesn't fix the problem.

Dear developers, 
I have set up an Education version for the PCLinuxOS distribution, with the
help of many people and included Tuxmath 2 in it.

My son happened to find that Tuxmath 2 crashes and we wondered why. I have

have just found out that one more version came out after, not long after.

I have 2 questions : looking at how these crashes happen, do you think that
the following 2.0.3 version fixes it ? And is it possible for you to provide

[Siddharth K. <sid...@gm...>]

Hi,

GSoC has come to an end, and here's a summary of my project:
http://gscbbn.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/project-summary/.

Overall, GSoC has been an enriching experience. I learnt many new new things
along the way - familiarity with build systems, vim+ack combo for code
management, and a better understanding on the literature about BBNs. Also,
this was my first major open-source contribution.

List of things that I haven't been able to do in the time-line:
- Model game difficulty based on user’s tolerance of difficulty,
- Enhance user interface to show suggested lessons clearly,
- Implement per-user storage in "school infrastructure" mode.

I would like to work on getting the project to a state where it would be
useful for tuxmath community. Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks everyone
for your help and inputs during the course of the project.

Thanks,
Siddharth

The primary build system for tuxmath is automake, but we try to
support both.  The cmake build has been used for some Mac releases in
the past, but everything else (source tarballs, distro packaging,
windows binaries) is done with automake.

For automake, the quickest thing is just to add the files to the
tuxmath_SOURCES (for *.c files) and EXTRA_DIST (for other files)
variables in src/Makefile.am with relative paths, e.g.:

tuxmath_SOURCES = tuxmath.c \
	setup.c 	\
	titlescreen.c	\
	menu.c		\
	menu_lan.c	\
	game.c 		\
	factoroids.c    \
	fileops_media.c \
	options.c	\
	credits.c	\
	highscore.c	\
	audio.c 	\
        network.c       \
	mathcards.c	\
	campaign.c	\
	multiplayer.c	\
	fileops.c	\
	SDL_rotozoom.c	\
	lessons.c	\
	server.c \
        bayesian/bayesian_network.c \

and so forth.

The recursive way, which is what is usually done, is to create a
SUBDIRS = bayesian variable in src/Makefile.am, and create
src/bayesian/Makefile.am to handle the new directory.

I know less about cmake, but AFAIK the process is very similar.

I don't really know cmake. With automake, there's a whole bunch of
recursive directory support, but I think that doesn't apply here.

Re: [Tuxmath-devel] GSoC project on "Personalized, adaptive game-play to improve learning in Tuxmath"

[Siddharth K. <sid...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

An update how far I have got:
* I have made a separate branch 'bbn' in tuxmath's git repo. where I am
committing all the changes.
* As for the progress, I have a Bayesian Network library which supports to
create, set initial probabilities and allows inference on bayesian networks.
It uses Pearl's message-passing
algorithm<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belief_propagation>for
inferencing. Initially, I wanted to use an existing library with a
compatible license to handle the inference part, but I had hard luck finding
C implementations and so decided to write one myself.
* My current implementation supports only tree topology, which is good
enough when I don't include global nodes in a topic cluster. Refer to this
figure <http://gscbbn.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/topic-cluster.png> for a
topic cluster's structure. So, while I work on implementing the inference
part for singly-connected networks, I can start testing the BBN in the game.


There are also a couple of things which I need help and suggestions with:
* I have added the new source files in src/bayesian. How do I include them
in the build? I have not worked with GNU autotools and cmake before.
* Earlier in this thread, we discussed about modelling acceptable
failure/challenge for a user and the solution was something on the lines of
the system giving user recommended options for lessons based on difficulty.
On the back-end part, I take this into account by making a global node for
"challenge level"
[Figure<http://gscbbn.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/global_nodes.png>].
On the interface part, this would require changes. I have some initial
thoughts on that and am write it in a separate mail.


As the mid-term evaluations are only a week now, my priority will be to add
documentation and error checks to the existing code, and update the blog.

Thanks,
Siddharth

Re: [Tuxmath-devel] compilation error in tuxmath's latest git repo.

[Siddharth K. <sid...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

The error occurs due to conflicting type qualifiers for SDL_Color variables
in tuxmath.h and t4k_common.h, as the latter declares them as static const.
So, I removed the declaration from tuxmath.h. This led to the same issue
with two other files -> setup.c (assign statements to the members of
SDL_Color)and titlescreen.c (conflicting declaration). Removing the relevant
codes from 'setup.c' and 'titlescreen.c' resolves the problem.

But I haven't committed this as I am not sure if this is a clean solution.

Thanks,
Siddharth

[Tuxmath-devel] compilation error in tuxmath's latest git repo.

[Siddharth K. <sid...@gm...>]

Hi,

I tried to source-compile tuxmath from the git repo. recently and had an
error. Here's the paste -  http://goo.gl/N4JKc
The error seems related to one of the recent commits in t4k_common's git
repository.

Thanks,

Hi, Unni.

All 32-bit applications should run on a 64-bit architecture without any
problems. Have you tried yet?

Hi,

 

Is there a windows 64 bit version or will the 32 bit version run on 64 bit ?
