Weekly development report 2023-05-27

Welcome to the weekly development report or what was done in my Open Source projects in the last week.

Steam Sky

Roguelike in a sky with steampunk theme (written in Ada)

As usual, if you dig deep enough, you will find something. ;) A bug with training rooms in the stable version found during work on the development version of the game. Time for the next, a bit more stable version of the game. In around 24 hours since this post, it will be available to download.

And the development version of the game goes forward in its own speed:

• Same as in the stable version, the problem with loading saves when training rooms don't have set a skill to train is fixed.
• Added ability to assign the skill to train in the player's ship's training rooms in the module's info dialog.
• Finally finished removing the actions' menu for modules. The last action was setting training skill. Everything is in the same location, the module's info dialog. It should be easier now to reach all needed information about the selected module and manage it. Still no screens because the dialog needs some formatting. And for formatting, it requires some code redesign. Another invisible fun. ;) But I hope it will take less time than removing the actions' menu.
• Another part of code moved to Nim. Now all code related to the player's ship crew members are here.
• Same as almost always, the old code got some cleanup too.

Nimalyzer

The static code analyzer for Nim programming language

Another week spent with fix type of rules. Again, the code related to it required some changes to work with the program's rules. Slowly everything is going forward to the first version of the rules' type. There are other changes to the program, mostly related to fixing bugs. ;)

• Added saving code updated by fix type of rules to files. At the moment, it replaces the old code with new one, thus it is a good idea to have some kind of backup. As the type of rules works on AST tree of code, it may produce an invalid code (rarely) or a reformatted code (almost always).
• Finished work on fixRule code for hasPragma rule. Now the fix type of the rule should properly add or delete the selected pragma(s) to declarations. Also, updated the documentation of the rule with information about the latest changes.
• Added fix type of rule to localHides rule. It now adds a prefix to local variable which hides the upper one. The documentation for the rule updated either with the information.
• Started work on fix type of rule to varUplevel rule. It can now replace var or let declaration with let and const respectively. Here is still some work to do.
• Updated documentation of other rules with information about fix type of the rule. It generally executes the selected command when the rule finds any problem.
• Fixed some typos in the project's documentation.
• Updated the project's contributing guide. There were some outdated information.
• Fixed detection of ability to change declaration type from var to let, etc. It should now better detect if declarations section contains more than one variable.

Nuklear Nim

The thin Nim binging to Nuklear GUI library

A couple of small changes arrived:

• Added one converter and ability to get the program's window size
• Added documentation to all high level declarations not declared in Nuklear itself.
