Simon Tatham's Puzzles

[brianinmaine]

as mentioned by geekmaster (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...am#post2144637 ), these are some neat little puzzles.

Source is here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/

I would like them to look like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ris.sgtpuzzles
specifically, the Solo (sudoku) app with a numberpad, and Net with the choice of rotate left or rotate right buttons. Other apps run ok as is with title hacks in gtk.c

My current issue: I can see with "xwininfo -tree -root" that solo is showing and so is a keyboard in the background. Is there a simple way to fix the title to show the program with -geometry 600x600+0+0 like from here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...6&postcount=13 post 13?
On my current firmware 5.3.7, that xev statement doesn't seem to work for me? I can't figure a way to show the program TopLevel window and the keyboard at the same time? This is all GTK stuff, and I have found some pointers from: https://github.com/chrisboyle/sgtpuzzles as this is the Android port from above. He adds many "#ifdef ANDROID" statements.

So the question again, where can I get more info on title hacking other than the thread above? I tried reading some lua scripts but got lost..

EDIT: in gtk.c there is a section with a flag for REQUIRE_NUMPAD - maybe I can change it from popping up a keyboard to having a number toolbar - we'll see...

sucks huh.

I would look at the way baf wrapped up kterm.

shove this in the top bit.
The keyboard in the bottom bit.

I read the entire http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~s...l/drawing.html

The kterm solution would be the tidiest IMHO

[brianinmaine]

heres a few pulles that work without modification (much). I'm still trying to lean the gtk stuff so I can hopefully get solo (the sudoku game) working. WIP but these 3 seem fine.

enjoy!

Great work brianinmaine! They all work perfectly on Kindle PW

3 down.. 33 to go..
the android port has got 34..
maybe going through the android port's code could help you..? (https://github.com/chrisboyle/sgtpuzzles/)

and more specifically this commit

https://github.com/chrisboyle/sgtpuz...c25738cfe0b126

which is the first "final" commit from about 4 years ago and /probably/ contains most of the major changes required to make it go the new platform.


It should be noted that in fact this cited work is more about adding java support than tweaking the gtk guts. so... not necessarily actually any help...



Note the following link will /probably/ become out of date if new commits are applied...

(however it's been a year since the last commit so... should be okay)

The part that confuses me the most at the moment:
say I select 'pegs' as the puzzle, then in the game menu, select 'Specific...' it pops up the built-in keyboard!
I don't know anything about gtk so this is all VERY confusing to me. Apparently the game 'solo' has a pencil-in mode and a regular add number mode. With a touch screen, I would be satisfied if touching a square popped up the keyboard, allowing input of a number. Not pretty, but functional at least. bafs way of including a keyboard (matchbox) is way beyond my abilites still. I can kind of read the code in kterm, but I can't just cut and paste it into here and make it work. I know it requires a lot more work than that - maybe a LONG time of learning about gtk.
In the meantime, there are a few other playable puzzles, which I shall try to include, but many require a right click or have many colors to play correctly and would not work well on a Kindle. If anyone else wants a go, I'd be happy to post a diff of where I'm at

A part of gtk.c

#ifdef STYLUS_BASED
    menuitem=gtk_button_new_with_mnemonic("_Redo");
    gtk_object_set_data(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "user-data",
			GINT_TO_POINTER((int)('r')));
    gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "clicked",
		       GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(menu_key_event), fe);
    gtk_box_pack_end(hbox, menuitem, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
    gtk_widget_show(menuitem);

    menuitem=gtk_button_new_with_mnemonic("_Undo");
    gtk_object_set_data(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "user-data",
			GINT_TO_POINTER((int)('u')));
    gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "clicked",
		       GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(menu_key_event), fe);
    gtk_box_pack_end(hbox, menuitem, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
    gtk_widget_show(menuitem);

    if (thegame.flags & REQUIRE_NUMPAD) {
	hbox = GTK_BOX(gtk_hbox_new(FALSE, 0));
	gtk_box_pack_start(vbox, GTK_WIDGET(hbox), FALSE, FALSE, 0);
	gtk_widget_show(GTK_WIDGET(hbox));

	*((int*)errbuf)=0;
	errbuf[1]='\0';
	for(errbuf[0]='0';errbuf[0]<='9';errbuf[0]++) {
	    menuitem=gtk_button_new_with_label(errbuf);
	    gtk_object_set_data(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "user-data",
				GINT_TO_POINTER((int)(errbuf[0])));
	    gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "clicked",
			       GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(menu_key_event), fe);
	    gtk_box_pack_start(hbox, menuitem, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
	    gtk_widget_show(menuitem);
	}
    }
#endif /* STYLUS_BASED */

my goal is in the REQUIRE_NUMPAD section to show a toolbar. then I could possibly add number buttons as toolbar buttons. By adding it to just this section, it wouln't show on the wrong games. Maybe even a few other buttons for left-click and right-click for games like 'net'.

I have tried adding code (copy/paste from other websites) to this section but I can't seem to get a handle on which boxes are within which... Maybe I'll try to find a gtk forum and ask there.

[brianinmaine]

here are all the puzzles and a diff of gtk.c -> many will not be playable, but to try them out, ssh in and in the bin directory run "runit.sh gamename" so you can kill it if it doesn't work. If you want, add it to the KUAL menu.json file.

I'll probably keep playing on and off, maybe someday...

[twobob]

it's because you are setting:

GTK_IM_MODULE=kindle

If I had to guess.

Try it with and without to see the differences. Basically /with/ will in certain circumstances invoke the internal keyboard, and /without/ never will.

[brianinmaine]

Shucks - that didn't work for me either. Oh well. I tried all night with all kinds of toolbar stuff and can't even make it display anything. No big deal, it's only puzzles, right? Just learning..

[twobob]

yeah. this is a pretty complicated project, but with a bit of love can probably me made to serve... If I HAD to guess - shove the stuff on the D layer with the RKB:true flag and turn off the GTK_IM_MODULE=kindle

Then invoke the keyboard manually using the toggleKeyboard script that I shoved in various projects.. I'll have a look in a bit then

[brianinmaine]

no biggie, like I said. I just love sudoku and was trying this to get it. ever since chris_c and his gtksudoku version stopped working.. too bad we didn't get a patch file of his project!

[twobob]

right. I was /pretty/ sure that hawhill had done a sudoku so I didn't bother to look for one...

Hmm...
