Dogs in Space !
Hi all :)

I have "ported" (a simple compilation, that's it) Graeme Gott's Simsu to the Pandora !
Simsu is a basic Sudoku game. You can switch between filling in notes (pencil mode), or filling in answers (pen mode). To make it easier to see where to place numbers, you can highlight all instances of a number. You can also check your answers for correctness while playing. The game stores your current notes and answers, so that you can pick up where you left off the next time you play.

Grab it here while it's hot !
Changelog:

New in build #1

- Graeme Gott's Simsu 1.3.2
- Compiled with @ptitSeb 's latest Code::Blocks (Qt 5.7.0)
- Source code is inside the PND

TODO:

- Make widescreen mode fit the Pandora resolution ?
- Make the PND lighter (60MB+ for a sudoku game...)

Cheers, Magic Sam

Hi @jeeks :)

Thanks for your report !

Could you please post the content of your /tmp/pndrun_simsu-magicsam.out here, for debugging purposes ?

Cheers, Magic Sam

@jeeks : thanks :)

What is your SGX driver version ? I'm running SGX driver 4.10 (on a Rebirth unit), and I don't have such an issue...

Cheers, Magic Sam
 
@Magic Sam : you should not put that lib in the PND. Thoses are system libs and should stay in the firmware (they may also be dependant on the Model, plus they are dependant on the version driver).

There is a script in codeblocks, called "copy_libs.sh" that can copy libs without copiying those from the firmware. Cd to your lib folder and use copy_libs.sh PATH/TO/PROGRAM to copy needed dependancie (it's based on analysing ldd, so it will not do miracles with everything that do dlopen things).
 
@ptitSeb : thanks for your help ! I know about copy_libs.sh, and I normally always use it. I don't know why I did differently for simsu...:$

Which libraries should I remove in your opinion ?

Cheers, Magic Sam
 
I think those one should be removed:
Code:
libGLESv2.so
libIMGegl.so
libdl.so.2
librt.so.1

Also, to save some space, but it's not mandatory, you can remove thoses:
Code:
gstreamer-0.10  (yes, the entire folder)
libgstapp-0.10.so.0
libgstaudio-0.10.so.0
libgstbase-0.10.so.0
libgstinterfaces-0.10.so.0
libgstpbutils-0.10.so.0
libgstphotography-0.10.so.23
libgstreamer-0.10.so.0
libgstvideo-0.10.so.0
The version in the firmware will probably be enough
 
@jeeks and @ptitSeb : thanks for your help guys :)

Could you please try the following PND ?

http://sviscapi.chaosnet.org/simsu-magicsam.pnd

N.B: scp should be complete in ~10 minutes, please wait some time before attempting to download that file.

The file is ready to be downloaded now !
pandora:/media/Pandora/dev/install$ md5sum simsu-magicsam.pnd
6ed3001504a6069b2258d52500990433 simsu-magicsam.pnd

I removed some unnecessary / conflicting libs from that package. If everything works correctly, I'll push it to the Repo :)

Cheers, Magic Sam

@Magic Sam works fine now! thanks! :D
sorry for the delayed answer, filezilla and my sd card reader both trolled me and corrupted the file a few times :mad: then it worked and i played a few rounds :$
 
Hi all :)

Build #3 is on the Repo:

http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=simsu-magicsam
New in build #3

- Graeme Gott's Simsu 1.3.4 (released on August 5th 2017)
- Compiled with @ptitSeb 's latest beta Code::Blocks (GCC 7.1 + Qt 5.9.0)
- Updated libs, Qt plugins and source code

Cheers, Magic Sam
[doublepost=1502133156,1502132649][/doublepost]Hi again,

@ptitSeb : I'm sorry to bother you with this, but I just noticed the following errors in the pndrun.out:
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-samuel'
WSEGL_InitialiseDisplay: DRI2OpenConnection failed
Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
QT5 Base dir = /mnt/utmp/simsu-magicsam

Should I add "export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/mnt/utmp/simsu-magicsam" to the runscript ? And regarding this WSEGL thing, do you think an "export LIBGL_FB=1" would help ?

Cheers, Magic Sam
 
Hi all,

I did some tests this morning in the train, and exporting XDG_RUNTIME_DIR solved the issue:
if [ ! -d /mnt/utmp/simsu-magicsam/home/runtime-$USER ];then
mkdir -p /mnt/utmp/simsu-magicsam/home/runtime-$USER
fi

export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/mnt/utmp/simsu-magicsam/home/runtime-$USER"

I'll update this package ASAP (tonight ? )

Cheers, Magic Sam

@Magic Sam : The WSEGL error is because Qt tries to use GLES2 acceleration bucannot because you use an SGX driver were X11 windowed mode is not supported (4.4+). The game is just 2D, so GL acceleration is not mandatory...
LIBGL_FB will have no effect as Qt is built against GLES2, not GL.

/tmp is a ramdisk, so nothing written there persists a reboot, and it isn't a problem. Unless you mean ~/tmp, in which case I've not got one of those despite using QMMP since my last reflash, I think.

So, I tried this out. Works well, though it'd be nicer if it actually fit on the screen with the standard xfce environment. I don't do QT so I don't know how easy it would be to e.g. move the buttons over the the right, or shrink the grid.

Edit: Hmm, your screenshots in the FP suggest I can do that already somehow. Should that be made default? In the mean time, I'll have a look at the options.
 
Hi all !

@levi : thanks for the explanation :)

@ptitSeb and @canseco : sorry for the noise + useless latest build...

EDIT : @levi : go to Settings > Widescreen layout + maximize window. I'll make it a default in the next build :)

Cheers, Magic Sam

Thanks, I've found widescreen setting now (and it can be set in the config by adding Widescreen=true to the [general] section). Unfortunately, it still doesn't quite fit my Pandora's screen with the highlight button being cropped by the system panel, and the 9 button being entirely obscured, but at least now pen and pencil are unobscured, and the play area remains uncropped, so if you use the the d-pad and keyboard to set squares this is much better.

And this will fit without trouble on the higher resolution pyra screen, if you bring it to that format. So there's limited benefit in making it fit the Pandora perfectly these days, I suspect.
 
Hi all :)

Build #5 in on the Repo (still uploading):

http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=simsu-magicsam

New in build #5

- Removed previous useless changes
- Provided a default configuration file with widescreen mode ON (you still have to maximize the window though)
- Replaced initial seed from my configuration file with a "random enough large number" (nanoseconds, i.e `date +%N`)

Cheers, Magic Sam
