Welcome to the weekly development report or what was done in my Open Source
projects in the last week.
Roguelike in a sky with steampunk theme (written in Ada)
In the stable version: The best time for finding bugs is a day or two after
a release. This rule worked this time. I fixed them, but they have to wait for
release because there is scheduled a new development version soon. There is a
small change too, now the game doesn't show empty inventories of crew members,
just info that the inventory is empty.
Speaking of which, here work going as usual:
- Finished work on coloring the in-game help. Now it can be almost
a rainbow.
- Added ability to change the help's colors via themes system. It should be
helpful for colorblind people or just people with better taste. :)
- The documentation about modifying the game updated, too.
- Same issues as in the stable version, fixed in the development either.
- Same as in the stable version, now the game shows only info about empty
crew member inventory, not the inventory itself.
- Redesigned the dialog for giving items from the ship's cargo to the crew
members. It looks a bit different. The main change is that it can count the
maximum amount of items to give, based on the selected crew member's
inventory's free space.
- As always, a lot of code cleanups and bringing some consistency to it. At
least it is now around 75% done.
And as mentioned above, in around 24 hours since the post, everyone will have
opportunity to tests all the changes. A new, development version of the game
will be available for download.

Still no new features this time. The whole week spent on playing with the
code cleanup and refactoring.
- Finished work on using
.type notation in the code. There is still the old
style in the unit tests, but for now they will stay there.
- Added lock level information to some procedures and functions.
- The work on making a couple of types distinct is finished for now too.
- Most of the new types are moved to separated modules. It should make the code
a bit more readable and predictable.
- Same as in the previous week, the changes above triggered a lot of changes to
the code. But it should be upgraded now too. At least it compiles. :P
- The unit tests are updated either with the new types and their locations.
- Added tests for the all new modules. Same as with the previous tests, they
are basic tests and need some love in the future.
- Started work on adding and updating the documentation for the new types.
