Weekly development report 2022-04-16

Welcome to the weekly development report or what was done in my Open Source projects in the last week. Foremost, happy holidays, everyone. And after a short celebration, back to the topic. :)

Steam Sky

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

In the stable version, the week without any bug report. Weird, probably the ticket's system stopped working. :) Thus, there is nothing to report.

In the development version, another week designed for spring-cleaning of code:

• Added limit for maximum length of names of the modules' prototypes. It is now set to 64 characters, which should be enough in most cases. If not, then we will raise it. ;) That, as usual, triggered a lot of changes in the code and the game's documentation related to modding it. Shouldn't add too many bugs.
• Added limit for maximum length of crafting recipes' indexes. Same as above, it is set to 64 characters. And also, as above, a lot of changes to the code and some to the game's documentation.
• Code cleanup task is slowly moving forward either.

As another four weeks passed since the last development release, in around 24 hours after this post a new development version will be available for download. So, everyone will be welcome to join hunt bu… easter eggs in the code. :)

Nish

The experimental command shell written in Nim

Another week full of code cleanup, refactoring and adding unit tests to the code.

• Finished work on better code documentation. It should now look the same for all subprograms and be more informative than the previous version. I still can't be convinced to runnable examples. Maybe in the future I will try them.
• Work on adding new unit tests to the code continues as in the previous week.
• Same with work on adding own types to the shell. It usually triggers a lot of changes to the code, thus work here is quite slow.
• Some other refactor things done too, mostly related to better check for variables values, etc.
• Started work on using everywhere named parameters in subprograms' calls. This will take some time but should make the code more consistent.

Hunter

Graphical File Manager for Linux (written in Ada)

Continuation of the work started in the previous weeks. Thus, almost the same report as the earlier:

• Standard, copy+pasted from the last weeks: some work with fixing issues reported by the AdaControl. This time something big changed: the graphical version is done, now the work started on the console.
• Updated check.tcl script, so it doesn't check for AdaCurses during checking the console version of the program. Continuation of fix from the previous week.
• Fixed showing path buttons after start the program in the graphical version.
• Fixed showing path buttons for destination after starting copying or moving files or directories in the graphical version.
• Fixed not working path buttons after finishing copying or moving files or directories in the graphical version.
• Of course, the program documentation updated with information about these changes too. :)
