I am guessing that your problem is with the startup script Draughts.js. This is what it looks like in the repository:

/* Name: Draughts game
   Original code (c) Ben Chenoweth
   Initial version: March 2011
*/

tmp = function() {
        var Draughts = {
                name: "Draughts",
                title: "Draughts",
                description: "Board game",
                icon: "GAME",
                activate: function () {
                        kbook.autoRunRoot.sandbox._icon = Core.config.compat.NodeKinds.getIcon("GAME",0);
                        kbook.autoRunRoot.sandbox._title = Draughts.title;              
                        kbook.autoRunRoot.sandbox.getSoValue = Core.system.getSoValue;
                        kbook.autoRunRoot.sandbox.hasNumericButtons = Core.config.compat.hasNumericButtons;
                        kbook.autoRunRoot.path = Core.config.addonsPath + "Draughts/draughts.xml";
                        kbook.autoRunRoot.enterIf(kbook.model);
                },
                actions: [{
                        name: "Draughts",
                        group: "Games",
                        icon: "GAME",
                        action: function () {
                                Draughts.activate();
                        }
                }]
        };
        
        Core.addAddon(Draughts);
};
try {
        tmp();
} catch (e) {
        // Core's log
        log.error("in Draughts.js", e);
}

Hopefully your file is different! Change it to the one above, and everything should be fine.

Sincerely,
Ben.

I guess it would be possible, but it would be difficult since the original game uses left and right clicking. I'll think about it, but don't hold your breath!

Sincerely,
Ben.

And for not needs modify kBookIcon.png and xxx_config.js after add new games/applications place game/app icon to game/app directory

That would only work if we just wanted the icon in the top-left corner of the game. Instead, we want the icon to be available in PRS+ menus as well. So it has to be included in kBookIcon.png and config files.

However, Mark has an idea that would mean the GAME icon would be used if the game-specific icon is not available.

Sincerely,
Ben.

About the left and right clicking: could be bound to previous and next button.
previous for mark, flag, free
next for check surrounding and
size (center for 300/505) for step on
But isn't there a tap on and clear all surroundings, too?
If so, could be hold-size/center.

So that taping the square will only highlight it.

On the other hand I am thinking of enhanced "tap-control".
Tap-and-hold should be easy to dedect if
PSEUDOCODE:

onMouseDown 
  {    downtick = now}
onMouseUp
   { if (now - downtick > 1000 mS) { call hold-func}
    else { call click func} }

With a reliable timer-function it should be possible to realize double-tap, too.
Again PSEUDOCODE:

else { if( timer == undefined) {
      CPUcanSleep(false);
      start timer(500, timercallback);}
   clickcount++ }
     
timercallback {
  kill timer;
  delete timer;
  CPUcanSleep(true);
  if (clickcount==1 ) {call click func}
  else { if (clickcount>1) { call doubleclick func}}
  clickcount=0;
}

Something like that is defined in x50 xsb/xso code for double-tap.

So tap could be used for mark, flag, free
tap-and-hold = check surrounding
double-tap = step on
no idea for step on an clear surrounding.

Comments anybody?

Maybe I can work on this next weekend, but (as Ben says) don't hold your breath.

PS:
Additionaly core-functionality/code in Sim dosn't use /compat/ and /lang/ scripts.
This should be enabled, too.

Perfect. I forgot to copy the folder AppAssets

[VICTORSJG]

Ben, to incluide the new modifications of the games on the reader (for example PRS 505) is it necesary to copy the script appassets too?

thanks

Yes Victor

[BenChen]

@VICTORSJG, yes as surquizu says, you must copy the AppAssets folder as well. All the games now use these common files. This saves space and actually makes it easier to maintain.

Hi everyone,

You'll find a new game in the FSK repository now. It's "XO-Cubed", otherwise known as "3-d Four In A Row" or "3-d Tic-Tac-Toe".

Note that this is an alpha release. It has NOT yet been tested on a Sony Reader, but it appears to work fine in the Sim. Also, currently only 2-player mode works. But I will be starting on AI when I get the chance, so stay tuned!

Enjoy!

Sincerely,
Ben.

I've made a start on the AI. Stage one implemented (and pushed to the repository), with reasonable AI. I will continue to tinker with it, so expect further updates.

And I've tested it on my Reader. All good!

Sincerely,
Ben.

What screen resolution are you using? I thought I modified the sim menu files correctly, but I only tested one resolution.

[VICTORSJG]

The 800 pixel, with yours new modification for 800 pixel and prs 950. works fine.

Thanks
