pimame-menu's Issues

Rom total notification needs padding

See:

Need options/utilities menu

Thinking it would be great to be able to config controllers graphically through PiMame

Pagination for MainScene

MainScene won't display more items than will fit. We need a pagination scheme to handle this.

Need a quit option

Currently there's no way to quit out of the new menu gracefully

Ensure main menu not drawing when idle

I test the menu in an Ubuntu VM so this may simply be a side effect of that. However it seems that when the menu is idle my cpu is working. Concerned that this would cause heat issues on an actual RaspberryPi

Pagination for RomListScene

We need some sort of pagination/scrolling scheme for the rom list

Add back in IP address option

I removed it when switching to scenes

Modal window needed

Need a modal window to possibly handle error message and option dialogs

Handle selecting an item with no roms

Currently the menu will crash when selecting an item with no roms.

Default Theme: De-uglify rom list

The rom list scene is very ... functional at the moment. It needs a makeover to more closely match the mockups as seen in #9

Feature to refresh menu

This would be useful if the user uploads a new rom and still has the menu open

Implement themes

There are a few people building themes for PiPlay which implies support for several themes.

Here's what I'm thinking is needed:

• A new /themes folder to hold "theme packs".
• Theme packs consist of a folder containing a theme.yaml config file and an assets folder should they need any fonts/images/etc
• Convert the current look into a default theme-pack. That requires that we remove the non-rom options out of our primary config.yaml and into that new /themes/default/theme.yaml
• Add a config variable in config.yaml to define the theme to load

PiPlay would then ship with the default theme, but users could drop-in/git clone additional themes pretty easily.

Back navigation for rom list scene

Text label offset problematic with different screen resolutions

See the example shown in the default theme - this label fit perfectly in one resolution but is causing problems in another:

Add searching to rom list view

Add 'full_path' option for emulator configs

Required since mame will choke on a full path

Need Rom list view

After selecting a console we need a list view so that you can select a rom to play.

Joystick Config Tool

Add joystick support and configuration tool

Implement "scenes"

The error dialog and rom list view imply different states or scenes. I very quickly scanned this - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14700889/pygame-level-menu-states - and it looks useful.

Optimize pygame calls

I'm probably doing things the slow way with pygame. Need to optimize pygame calls (pre-render, limit processing in the main loop, etc)

De-uglify menu items

The ugly level is too high

Items in menu should match order in config.yaml

MainScene mouse over effects bugged

Has to do with the new sorting stuff I added

Selection drawing may be doing too much

With the new theme code need to make sure we're not wasting resources drawing selection sprites since these are now handled by the images

Fix needed for NES Roms with spaces

From the forums:

nevermind. I figured it out.
line 158 of menuitem.py
 change this: 'command': self.command + " " +  os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(f))[0] + os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(f))[1]

to this: 'command': self.command + ' \'' +  os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(f))[0] + os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(f))[1] + '\''

Add ability to run command from main scene

Currently items on the main scene always attempt to get a rom list and switch to the rom list scene. Instead some items might need to simply run (perhaps they have their own UI for selecting a game?)

Planning on tackling this once issue #12 is merged back, since it improves the handling of selecting an item in the main scene.

Nested menus

Remove background color options and drawing code

The newest update uses background images which negates the need to draw a background single color sprite.

Need to remove any config code and drawing code relating to that background sprite.

Graphical theme selector

Assuming we have themes built (#26) it would be great to change the theme from within the PiPlay menu interface.

Multi-page menus

Right now there is no handling of items which won't fit on the screen.

To fix this, we need something to hold all of the item sprites as well as one or more Groups, containing a subset of those sprites. We also need UI to move to the next/prev pages.
