GTKSudoku Application Release

[Mackx]

I tried to make the Sudoku app ported by Adam more 'Native' by adding a menu in the popupmenu and to get an icon in the 'task-list' so I would be able to get back to a sudoku after reading some time.

It should mainly be used as an example, since the code is a merge between the original sudoku source (as Adam provided) and the hello-world code from iRex. It contains lots of unused code that I did not yet clean up.

The zip-file contains the original program (Sudoku) and the 'enhanced' version (Sudoku2). The source code contains only the minimal files, you should be able to compile it with the Ajunta-IDE (make sure to enable the Poky-plugin before AutoConfiguring).
The app is 'Deployed' into /usr/bin, so copy it to Programs or run it from there in the emulator.

Hope someone finds the example code usefull for porting his program.

Brilliant! I attempted to do this, but never got it working quite right. I'll have to dig through this when I have a chance.

I tried the sudoku game a while ago, but forgot to give feedback here.
Is this the sudoku for SD cards?
The only hard thing I found for the Sony PRS-505 that there was no way to exit the sudoku game, apart from removing the card.
or,at least, I couldn't read books and pop in the SD card,without having the Sudoku screen pop up.
Like,sometimes I just want to read a book stored on the card...

It's on the SD card like all current add-ons, but things work quite differently on the DR1000 compared to the Sony PRS505. No application starts automatically unless it is designed that way, and this hasn't happened so far. This Sudoku version certainly doesn't based on my experience.

Keep in mind that the development of these apps is done using the official SDK with the blessing of iRex who released almost all the sources. Unlike Sony who doesn't support any development and all current modifications are "hacks" (as well as they may work), at least the last time I checked. Personally, I only use my PRS505 only for reading and have given up on 3rd party stuff a long time ago.

Played around with the version 2, nice! A big step towards better integration with the DR1000 interface.

I noticed that it has its own empty toolbar, and you can drag the icons over, but they do not appear (the slot remains black).

However when you click on them, they actually work as intended... one little bug to sort out. It's kinda hard to remember which slot does what when they are all black

I also noticed that the icons did not appear, but didn't notice that they still worked. I will try to figure out how this works. Thanks.

Thanks,
Its not that difficult, the hello-world example is self explaining. Your VMWare development environment also helped to get this done quickly, thanks for that!

Mmmm, I notice in the popupmenu/src/toolstore.c that the code puts "toolbar_" in front of the path to the icon. Since I use a full-path, this will not work....

I saw Adam made a patch to the ctb somewhere so I should be able to figure out how to update 'system-components', if I find some time I could make a patch.

Or anyone else?

Then I must be mistaken.
I played a sudoku that auto-booted upon inserting the SD card.

On the iRex DR1000S?
