./wip/typespeed, Game to measure your typing speed, with network mode

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.6.4nb3, Package name: typespeed-0.6.4nb3, Maintainer: hernani

Typespeed gives your fingers' cps (total and correct), typoratio and some
points to compare with your friends.

Typespeed's idea is ripped from ztspeed (a dos game made by Zorlim). Idea
of the game should be clear to anyone, just type and type it fast, or be a
lewser.

Drop superfluous PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT, "user-destdir" is default these days.

Update from v0.5.3 to v0.6.3

ChangeLog (after v0.5.3):
-------------------------
v0.6.4	- Do not hardwire localedir in src/Makefile.am, spotted by
	  Charles Clément.
	- A default rule set can be supplied in configuration file.
	- Fix possible segmentation fault if opponent in network play
	  doesn't write anything (division by zero).
	- Don't be so harsh about people with low typing skills:
	  Loser -> Beginner, ADP-Pro -> Learner
	- Status bar can be adjusted by locales.
	- Removed some probably offending words from words.eng.
	- Dropped min10 (cpm, i.e. cps * 60).
	- Replaced tcps with wpm, although it's just cps * 12.
	- Regine Müller spotted a serious typo in high score menu (de_DE).
v0.6.3	- New menu translations:
	  - fr_FR by Charles Clément and Sysyphe GEP
	  - it by Lapo Luchini
	- Typos fixed in french word list, patch by Charles Clément.
	- autotools problems fixed on Cygwin, spotted by Lapo Luchini.
	- Zap the silly dependency of m4 I introduced with 0.6.1.
	- Properly reset terminal if it is too small, patch by Charles Clément.
	- Fixed possibility to enter name with a blank in front of it,
	  spotted by vispi.
	- High score menu is not limited to top 10 anymore.
	- Fixed possible segfault if path names are too long (> MAXPATHLEN).
	- Windows code put into source (WIN32).
	- Wordlist/Ruleset menus can be left by pressing Escape.
	- All parameters supplied to typespeed not in getopt result in
	  usage.
	- Major network code improvements/bugfixes:
	  * closed file descriptor leakage in server code
	  * multiple network games per running session possible
	  * new function called gprint used in network code (better readable)
	  * check return value of ioctl (non-blocking mode OK?)
	  * you can abort while waiting for connections now
	  * a player name can be specified
	  * thin client support, i.e. retrieving word lists from a server
	  * new option --netlog=file logs network traffic; for debugging
### Typespeed v0.6.3 is NOT network compatible with earlier versions ###
	  * new network parameters for better comprehension by developer(s) :)
	  * high score sharing is locale-safe now (1.234 vs. 1,234)
	  * versions are compared in order to prevent version missmatches
v0.6.2	- Used random seed will be actualy saved now.
	- You can feed typespeed with specified random seed.
	- Fixed bug introduced with 0.6.1: enter/space is no longer
	  counted as typo if you have entered a correct word.
	- Do not let other persons flock high score file: this could
	  result in a denial of service.
	- Smoothness takes "yes" and "no" as argument.
	- "No High Scores" will be translated, too.
	- File selection menu is useable with vi-like key strokes (j, k).
	- Removed implementation-defined C-code like:
	     x[i++] = i;
	- Better testsuite framework support included.
	- Compilation of test suite on systems without gettext in libc
	  has been fixed.
	- Translate title of default rule set if selected.
	- Fixed buffer underrun in parseline that occured if a line in
	  configuration file (or game rule file) started with "=".
	- autotools improvements, spotted by Michael Sterrett:
	  * handle --docdir properly
	  * support for different high score dir (--with-highscoredir=DIR)
	- If working with strings, _always_ terminate with '\0' at end
	  of buffer, no matter how obvious it is that string fits anyway.
v0.6.1	- Added copy&paste cheat protection.
	- Added support for gettext.
	- SECURITY FIX: make sure privileges have been dropped.
	- Switched to autoconf and automake.
	- Typo spotted in french word list by David Jeannot.
v0.6.0  - Fixed statistics in case typoratio is 100 %.
	- Do not allow empty names for high score.
	- typespeed forces use of a terminal for stdout/stderr/stdin now.
	- Game rules can be changed by user.
	- setgid() by default - drops privileges as soon as highscore
	  file has been opened.
	- major change in highscores:
	  * switch to csv format
	  * only one highscore file for all wordlists
	  * cannot reset highscores anymore
	  * users can have their own highscore file
	- Use all available space on screen for words (position 0 not 1).
	- New testsuite design
	- wordlists are sorted alphabetically.
	- scandir replaced with opendir; readdir; closedir.
	  No more annoying gcc warnings about that on different systems
	  (like glibc based systems and bsd).
	- ISO-conform clear sequence (fixes warning),
	  by Alessandro Massignan.
	- Fixed bug in function keys.
	- German words are OK for childrens now.
	- Two bad words removed from english word list.
	- Unified wordlist names for languages (iso 639)
	- New C# wordlists by Nicolai Stoy
	- Fixed bug in network code: resulted in an endless loop at end
	  of the game.
