[Tuxmath-devel] Ramping up

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

Ok, I think I'm going to finally get off my Tux Painted rear-end and
work on TuxMath again. :^)

I'm going to support a number of options:

  * SFX Volume
  * Music Volume
  * Enable/disable on-screen keypad  (maybe)
  * Enable/disable background graphics  (maybe)
  * Enable/disable each of the four operators (+, -, *, /)
  * Set possible ranges for left and right operands
    (1-5, 6-12, 13-20)
  * Set maximum answer values (10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 400)


Sound reasonable?  It's _definitely_ better than what we have now
(command-line options, which people seem to miss, even though they're
mentioned in the --help display and README.txt ;^) ;^) )

Ok, actually, it's more like:

  Addition (+)        X
  Subtraction (-)     X
  Multiplication (x)
  Division (/)
  Maximum Answrer:   24
  Question Range:
    [1-5] [6-12] 13-20


See the screenshot here:

It's all in CVS, even. :^)

Note that it doesn't DO anything, except display the current options.
You can't change anything on this screen yet.  I'm about to work on that
now (although I may decide I'm hungry for lunch, first :^) )

Ok!  Feel free to check out the latest CVS! :^)

You can now toggle, separately, the operators (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division) using the Options screen.

You can also toggle the possible operand ranges (1-5, 6-12, 13-20).

The only thing you can't change right now is the maximum value you can get.
(Currently set to 144).


Please try it out and share your thoughts!
