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

[kartu]

Ok, fixed that and committed changes to the repository. (renamed functions, as the names are used several times as popen, and only once as openp)
I've also reformatted the code to be more in line with the rest of PRS+, I hope it's not a problem.

PS
Oh, only now I read the updated post.
Yes, possible, but sad that one has to write special code for the test environment.
So somehow x,y aren't related to the parent group, eh? =/

[Mark Nord]

Especially for clemenseken, "nightly build" of the Sim-Environment.

Hi Mark,
thanks for your nightly build -
that's working perfectly from the start!
I hope to spend some time this coming weekend to get a grip for what you did to make the autostart apps work on a touchscreen.
More to you in a PM...

EDIT:
I attached the missing MS-VB-dll (downloaded from www.dll-files.com) below.

IMPORTANT: rename the file to msvcr70.dll ! I simply used the extension bin because I didn't trust the ZIPper on my Mac and "dlls" are not allowed here.

Mark,

I've tried updated Sudoku on 600/300, after fixing _Core check, it is playable on 600 (but not on 300, on 300 interface was shown but didn't respond to any button) but blocks touchscreen (?) when you exit it (remember, that exitIf is very picky and must be the last executed code in autorun app).

[Mark Nord]

Kartu, thanks for reporting!
So <behave> is working with Sprites on the device too.

I have set

var prsModel = "PRS-600";	// to be set by system-function !! PRS-600 = touch-interface, all other original behavior

hard in code.
And check here for it

target.init = function () {
..	
	if (prsModel == "PRS-600") {
		this.nonTouch.show(false);
		this.Touch.show(true);
		this.Touch.cNum.show(false);	
	} else {
		this.nonTouch.show(true);
		this.Touch.show(false);
..}

So prsModel should be set by/or replaced with a appropriate system function.
The 300 should then have the "old" 500/505 interface again.

I'am still working on a way to control the fsk-menu with events.

but blocks touchscreen (?)

Thought this is only a problem with the Sim-Enviro!?
I figured out that the menu/menuBar remain in a Input-Loop eating up all events even after exitIf().

Temporary solution for the Sim - not posted yet, - is to break this loop by calling somthing like menuBar.endLoop(ev)
Will post the code in the evening.

[kartu]

Mark, code could check for model in:

Core.config.model

or:

System.applyEnvironment("[prspModel]")

It would be cleaner, however, to check for something like "hasTouchScreen". I'll add it to "compat", it will be defined and set to true only for models with touchscreen. So:

Core.config.compat.hasTouchScreen

PS
Just came to my mind, that "hasNumericButtons" is already there and could be used instead of "hasTouchScreen" with negation.

Long story short: Core.config.compat.hasNumericButtons is set to true on 505/300, and will be set to false on all touch devices.
I doubt we'd ever see reader with numeric buttons and a touchscreen.

[Mark Nord]

here is the promised code:
define

var newEvent;
newEvent = Core.system.compile("param", "return new Event(param)");

someplace and add this to target.ExitQuit

target.ExitQuit = function () {
	var ev, func, menuBar;
	ev = newEvent(2048);
	menuBar = this.findContent("MENUBAR"); // menuBar had to be defined as MENUBAR in XML!!
	// this.bubble("tracelog","findContent= "+menuBar);
	func = Core.system.getSoValue(menuBar,"endLoop");
	// this.bubble("tracelog","endLoop= "+func);
	func.call(menuBar,ev);	 
	kbook.autoRunRoot.exitIf(kbook.model); 
}

This will do the trick in the SIM, hop it's working on device too.

[kartu]

Mark, could you post entire package please.

[Mark Nord]

here you go...

Check for Core.config.compat.hasNumericButtons and menuBar.endLoop included
working in the Sim not checked with my PRS-505.

Will post modified Sim with Core.config.compat.hasNumericButtons and kbook.simEnviro flag, maybe with a menu-option to set hasNumericButtons within the next days.

Check for kbook.simEnvior is just one level deep and should not do any harm, if otherwise just delete the line for use with the real devices.

[Edit 2010-12-05]
Attachment removed, use latest code in post #32 or in the Sim-Package x.04 in Post #59
[\Edit]

[Mark Nord]

In a sleepless hour, I noticed, that Core is invicible to autorun JS-Code, so the code in post #54 must fail.

Will try to copy kartus solution for dictionary for the 300rd.

Hi there,

I am just starting to put together a game for the PRS-600 using the FSK Test from an earlier post in this thread. However, I am having trouble! I have tracked the error down to my .js script which simply won't load.

I think it is a formatting error, but I can't find anything obvious. I am not very familiar with JS.

I was wondering if you could take a quick look at it and see if anything jumps out!

Much appreciated!

Thanks,
Ben.

EDIT: Found and fixed problem, so I removed attachment.

[BenChen]

Ooops. I found an extra "}". Deleted, and now the scrip loads. Sorry for the unnecessary forum traffic.

[Mark Nord]

Welcome BenChen!

Hop you enjoy programming for Sony PRS!

PS: Have you noticed the small "EDIT" Button in the right lower corner of all your Posts?
PPS: My deepest respect to all the original coders and those who write code direct for the device. What a effort without a syntax-checker.

Attached version x.04 of the Sim-Enviro

Adds and Changes in the Sim

• PRS+ Core-sources v2.0.3 are use
• System-Menu allows to switch between a PRS-505 and a PRS-x50 skin
• _Core.config.compat.hasNumericButtons is set accordingly
• Buttons are enabled/disabled accordingly
• Start-Skin depends on hasNumericButtons in _PRSPlus.js
• to simulate code for real device don't use _Core calls in autorun.js, "export" functions in starter.js (kbook.autoRunRoot.sandbox.anything =...), include similar code without sandbox in eBookSimMain.xml <function id="setView" params="app">

Modifications to Addons:
Calc:

• prepared for translation and App-Icon
• button-sender to array-index is now independent of Sim/real device
• gridCursor is only shown for PRS-505/300

Sudoko:

• prepared for integration in PRS+2.0.x
• use of exported Core-functions
• new way of displaying gridCursor, a 4-rowed sprite skin is used
• menuBar.endLoop is called befor exitIf()

DictioLauncher (dictionaryCL):

• based on m-lands latest NON keyboard code
• prepared for for integration in PRS+2.0.x
  
• added extra input for special characters by holding numkey, functions are copied form 650th kbook.so

[EDIT 21.03.2011]
x.05 release with corrected "_PRSPlus.js" file attached,
should work with "text-help-FreeCell in Post #195"
[/EDIT]
[EDIT 26.03.2011]
Version x.04 and x.05 removed,
attached version x.06
latest code of all addons as per todate included.
includes surquizu awesome new 3D icon-set
new: skin with 600x1024 outputwindow to simulate PRS-950
new: bat-files to start the Sim-Enviro with the desired resolution
new: second page of Apps-Menu
Notes:

Dictionary: only UI is working, no search is done
TestApp: unstable exit
xDicto no way to exit the app, just close the sim
