route94's Issues

Allow blockdef IDs that are not ordered

At the moment, the blockdef IDs have to be ordered (from 0 to n). If they aren't, this will lead to problems, the game can show wrong textures or even segfault.

Segfault when walking to the left level border

Steps to reproduce:

• Start a new game
• Walk backwards until you reach the left border of the level

Add credits

Make player actions independent from framerate

At the moment, the speed of all player actions depends on the framerate.
Higher framerate means higher speed of the player.

This should be made independent, maybe with a counter that does one player action each 50 msec, this is equivalent to 20 fps in the current implementation and should be possible for even slow computers.

Specify & Implement CAPSAICIN Level Format v3

New features:

• support for opponents
• new file structure (see below)
• checksums

File Structure (in zip file):

• level.dat (the existing level file format)
• textures/ (custom textures for blockdefs type=2)
• thumbnail.png (the level thumbnail, maybe automatically created)
• background.png (the level background picture)
• music.ogg (custom music for the level)

Add build mode

development: terminal application, write errors to stdout & file
release: standard application, write errors to file

Expand status frame

• place for more than 3 hearts (text: +1, +2, ...)
• money counter

Auto-Resize cursor

Remove deprecated registry keys automatically

On Linux, deprecated config keys are removed after a call to Config::write(), this should be also done on Windows.

SegFault when changing page in control settings menu

Steps to reproduce:

• Go to Settings -> Control
• Change a key
• Change to another page

Improve block & item collision handling

Improve updater

• make message more visible
• make download link openable in the player's browser
• add release notes
• add link to an overview page (openable in player's browser)

Add Level Class

• Reading
• Writing
• Playing
• Creating thumbnail

Make movement resolution framerate-dependent

At the moment, every 10ms a movement is done. This means, that for framerates over 100fps, there's a useless limitation and for framerates under 100fps, the movements aren't as fast as they should.

A better solution would be to measure the time since the last movement and calculate the step size depending on this.

Add full Windows Compatibility

Improve the level editor

Add shortcuts:

• Selecting a block definition and clicking left places a block (added in db5ce51)
• Clicking a block right deletes it (added in db5ce51)
• Ctrl+S, Ctrl+O, ...

Other stuff:

• allow moving of blocks without the detour of deleting & recreating them

Add update notifier

Finish settings menus

• Create sound settings menu
• Re-design other settings menus
• Set a lower and upper limit for the screen resolution in graphics settings menu

Fix unicode problem in credits on Windows

Allow bigger background images

At the moment, the background image size is limited to the maximum texture size of the operating system, graphics card, etc. (normally 4096x4096px)
To allow images with a bigger width, the texture & sprite should have the size of the screen and get updated from an sf::Image in memory.

Finish and document level format

The level format needs a cover, which allows to ship the level data together with the thumbnail, the background picture and all the other stuff in one file. Maybe zip or compressed tar is a good idea here (probably zip is better).
When this is done, there should be a good documentation on the format.

Add libintl support under Windows

Add Level-Editor

EventProcessorReturn class

• returned by the process_event() methods of the GameMode classes
• handled by the Game::process_events() method
• tasks for this function:
  • allow GameMode change
  • allow setting configuration values (and making them public and writing them down automatically)
  • allow setting language
  • allow reloading and exiting the game
  • ...

Improve Config Class for UNIX systems

• at the moment, configuration is saved in ./config.txt
• TODO: save the configuration in the home directory

Create a get_wstring() function that works under Windows

It seems that get_wstring() returns an empty string under windows, this should be fixed.

Update specs.md

Add Config class for Windows

Improve item sound playback

Use one sf::Sound for all items and add a play_itemsound(int id); function.

Improve DataLoader function

• finds the data directory
• independent of the operating system and other system specific things
