Weekly development report 2021-07-31

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)

Referring to the previous week post: now I know what I was missing in the stable version of the game: not working renaming for modules and crew members. ;) Ok, these are fixed now, same as showing info about the overloaded ship. This mean, in around 24 hours since this post a new, again more stable version of the game will be available to download.

In the development version, not too much visible things done in this week:

• The problems found in the stable version are now fixed in the development too.
• Fixed showing info about taken cabins on the list of available missions in bases.
• Also, fixed problem with scrollbar on the know bases list. It didn't reset correctly after reenter the knowledge screen.
• Most of the week was spent on playing with sorting various lists in the game. I wasn't satisfied with the first way used to solve the problem, so I tried a few different solutions. And I think that I finally found something. :) All the existing sorting code was updated to the new version, also I've finished work on sorting the crew members inventory.
• Started work on updating the debug window. It was looking awful. Now it should look just bad. :) Some work left here to do.
• Fixing problems reported by AdaControl and generally made the game code looks a bit better. Standard. :)

TASHY2

Ada binding to Tcl/Tk, the new version of TASHY

The work on Tk.Winfo package is done for now. All bindings, their documentation and unit tests are on their places. Especially work on documentation was done in this week, but also there were some changes to the bindings too. Also, I've fixed all problems reported by the AdaControl tool. Now the work started on bindings for Tk ttk::entry widget and its commands. For now only creating and configuring the widget code is ready. Work started on various commands related to the ttk::entry. And added a few unit tests for the bindings.

Hunter

Graphical File Manager for Linux (written in Ada)

The work on the console version of the program (at least it's the first alpha version) is slowly ending. There left only a few things to do and let's hope in the next week, there will be finally a new release of the project. For now, in this week were done: This time I can write that the work on console version is very close to the end. Finally. :) But referring to the last week report: no new release in this week was done yet. Things which are finished this week:

• Almost finished work on manipulating content of the system Trash. Only one thing left: deleting the selected files and directories from the Trash. Restoring, clearing the Trash should work now.
• Updated included the program's module for support for my other project, Bob. Now it works only in the graphical version of the program. Console version doesn't have yet full support for the program's modules.
• Updated the project documentation with information how to build the console version of the program.
• Also, related to the project documentation: added information about coding standard which I should use in the project, plus info about testing procedures used by the project.
• Standard, copy+pasted from the last weeks: a lot of work with fixing problems reported by the AdaControl. Some things never changes. :)

YASS

Yet Another Static Site (generator) (written in Ada)

I could literally copy and paste report from the last week: fixing the problems reported by AdaControl and adding the unit tests to the project continues. The only change is that adding unit tests is almost finished. Thus, in the next week, the report here should a little different, but still very short. :)
