PRS-505 FSK Test-Environment for Autorun Applications under MS-Windows

[Mark Nord]

This shouldn't be possible AFTER you moved a card!
(selecedCard.selected had to be set to false after a valid move, will check on this)

This isue could be solved by including

selectedCard.selected=false;

into function target.draw_board.

Havn't updated attachment in previous post!
Will wait for kartus and Bens opinions.

There are 2 huge images, mostly filled with text, both referenced from XML.

@kartu: is that your intention?

Yep!

@kartu2: is there a way to export the language-setting off PRS+ to select the correct local help-text?

I'll add Core.lang.getLocale() that will return 2 letter language code. Tell me if you have better ideas.

Many users are very concerned about "additional stuff that they'll never use" that is in PRS+, presumably eating resources, games in particular. So from this perspective it would be better to keep game translations independent from the core translation files. I'm a bit concerned about adding icons for each app, hopefully it won't cause issues.

Draughts does not work on PRS-505 (not appers the game in the menu of games & utilities). Any ideas?

Thanks, Ben

Hello Surquizu,

are you using PRS+ 2.0.10alpha or 1.1.3?

Hi kartu,

I only wanted to add an icon for Chess (since it is a game that is popular, and I could see that people might want to put it on their home screens) and FreeCell (since there may be other card games added in the future). I have no intention of doing any further icons.

Sincerely,
Ben.

Bug report from TJ27 @ the-ebook.org (PRS-350):
He got Draughts and Freecell from #193. (custom build, based on 2.0.10a)
Draughts hang from time to time (but could be exited with "home")
Freecell stopped working, with "you win" text on the screen. Version from #59 worked. (UPDATE: he was referring to version from Mark, #195)

Tested with both versions (1.1.3 and 2.0.10a). Installers made ​​with instructions of Kartu.

I am not surprised about Freecell from #195. I can't even get it to work in the Sim. I would certainly not try it on an actual reader yet.

I am surprised about Draughts, though. It sounds like he is experiencing the issue I thought I had fixed with the most recent update. Is he absolutely sure he has the latest version, and that he did a full rebuild of PRS+, and then restarted his reader after copying the new installer across to make sure the newest version was installed?

By reducing the colour-depth to 16 colours and by modifing the cutouts, so that a smaller template could be used.

This two approaches could be used with the other apps, too.
The use of a text-control for help enables also the use of translated help-texts!

Hi Mark,

I would love to see how this works, but I am having difficulty getting it to run in the Sim. Here is the relevant section from eBookSimMain.xml:

				 case "Freecell" : {
				 				kbook.autoRunRoot.getSoValue = _Core.system.getSoValue;
				 				kbook.autoRunRoot.hasNumericButtons = _Core.config.compat.hasNumericButtons;
								kbook.autoRunRoot._icon = 39;
								kbook.autoRunRoot._title = "Free Cell";
								kbook.autoRunRoot.getSoValue = _Core.system.getSoValue;
								kbook.autoRunRoot.getFileContent = _Core.io.getFileContent;								
								this.EINK.VIEW.setURI("../addons/Freecell/freecell.xml");				
								break;
								}

What have I done wrong?

Sincerely,
Ben.

Hi Ben,

you have done nothing at all. It's my bad. I used half of yesterday to fix the Sim, but havn't posted the corrected code.

Error is in _Prsplus.js

References to Core.string aren't corrected to the new Core.text

Will post the fix in the evening.

Again sorry.
Mark

Hello TJ27, and welcome at MR!

There should be a "drag-box" in the bottom right corner to enlarge the program-window.
Also a Double-Click at any empty-space will toggle between full-screen and window-mode.

HTH

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the update. It works perfectly in the Sim. I like the textbox control! This evening, I will try it out on my 600.

Assuming it works, you have my blessing to go ahead and do the same for Mahjong! I have attached the English help document, so you don't have to type it all in again...

Sincerely,
Ben.
