The immutability of the string is not relevant here, since the string
we're given was allocated in the IPC serialization layer and will be
destroyed shortly afterwards. Additionally, noone relies on
DeprecatedString-specific functionality. This will make it easier to
convert the IPC layer itself to String later on.
This is a clear sign that they want to use a UnixDateTime instead.
This also adds support for placing durations and date times into SQL
databases via their millisecond offset to UTC.
That's what this class really is; in fact that's what the first line of
the comment says it is.
This commit does not rename the main files, since those will contain
other time-related classes in a little bit.
Previously, calling `.right()` on a `Gfx::Rect` would return the last
column's coordinate still inside the rectangle, or `left + width - 1`.
This is called 'endpoint inclusive' and does not make a lot of sense for
`Gfx::Rect<float>` where a rectangle of width 5 at position (0, 0) would
return 4 as its right side. This same problem exists for `.bottom()`.
This changes `Gfx::Rect` to be endpoint exclusive, which gives us the
nice property that `width = right - left` and `height = bottom - top`.
It enables us to treat `Gfx::Rect<int>` and `Gfx::Rect<float>` exactly
the same.
All users of `Gfx::Rect` have been updated accordingly.
Previously, the engine would attempt to make a move if the engine was
changed after the game had ended.
This change also allows the player to always flip the board when the
game is finished, instead of only being able to flip the board on
their turn.
Corrects a slew of titles, buttons, labels, menu items and status bars
for capitalization, ellipses and punctuation.
Rewords a few actions and dialogs to use uniform language and
punctuation.
In Snake, the menu for choosing a skin looked messy due to
inconsistent capitalization. Two skins names were entirely lowercase.
For the sprite-based skins, the menu takes the name of each skin's
directory, so I have capitalized these.
Capitalizing the original snake skin required more change than simply
renaming a directory.
The pattern to construct `Application` was to use the `try_create`
method from the `C_OBJECT` macro. While being safe from an OOM
perspective, this method doesn't propagate errors from the constructor.
This patch make `Application` use the `C_OBJECT_ABSTRACT` and manually
define a `create` method that can bubble up errors from the
construction stage.
This commit also removes the ability to use `argc` and `argv` to
create an `Application`, only `Main`'s `Arguments` can be used.
From a user point of view, the patch renames `try_create` => `create`,
hence the huge number of modified files.
A new engine process is now started immediately, rather than waiting
until a move needs to be made.
This means that if the engine is playing as black, it can start up
while the human player is making a move. This is noticable with
stockfish, which can be slow to start up.
Previously, Frames could set both these properties along with a
thickness to confusing effect: Most shapes of the same shadowing only
differentiated at a thickness >= 2, and some not at all. This led
to a lot of creative but ultimately superfluous choices in the code.
Instead let's streamline our options, automate thickness, and get
the right look without so much guesswork.
Plain shadowing has been consolidated into a single Plain style,
and 0 thickness can be had by setting style to NoFrame.
These icons are a relic of GLabel and were never implemented to
accomodate both image and text. This convenience can always be added
in the future, but no current instance assumes or needs it, so let's
replace them all with ImageWidget to show clearer intent.
A dialog is now displayed when an engine move results in a checkmate
or a draw. In the case of threefold repetition or the fifty move rule,
the engine will always accept a draw. A human player is asked if they
would like to accept a draw.
The GUI now tracks when it becomes disconnected from ChessEngine.
If not currently waiting for a move from ChessEngine, it will
automatically reconnect on the next engine move. If a disconnection
occurs while waiting for a move, the player is asked whether they
want to try again or not.
Instead of propagating field size changes to main and manually
calculating window size, use auto shrink to automatically
resize the window after changes to the board.
Previously resizing the window did not take into account the
height of the status bar. The board now fixes its size on reset
and allows the Window to auto shrink to the perfect dimensions.
Every other function there returning a RenderRequest has one, so might
as well.
Don't add it to check_and_remove_full_rows(), because it's only used
inside other functions returning a RenderRequest, when it's already
clear a render will happen.
Similar to POSIX read, the basic read and write functions of AK::Stream
do not have a lower limit of how much data they read or write (apart
from "none at all").
Rename the functions to "read some [data]" and "write some [data]" (with
"data" being omitted, since everything here is reading and writing data)
to make them sufficiently distinct from the functions that ensure to
use the entire buffer (which should be the go-to function for most
usages).
No functional changes, just a lot of new FIXMEs.
This is how the menu looks like after this commit:
┌────┐
│Game│ Help
├────┴─────────────────────────────┐
│ New game F2 │
│ Toggle pause P │
├──────────────────────────────────┤
│ Quit Alt+F4 │
└──────────────────────────────────┘
Allows for pausing with either the `P` or `Escape` keys. In this commit
you can still rotate pieces when paused - which makes for an interesting
"stop-time" cheat mechanic, but probably isn't yet what we want.
This class had slightly confusing semantics and the added weirdness
doesn't seem worth it just so we can say "." instead of "->" when
iterating over a vector of NNRPs.
This patch replaces NonnullRefPtrVector<T> with Vector<NNRP<T>>.
Draw pieces around 80% of the size of a square, instead of 100%, so that
there is a nice gap around them. This feels more comfy, and makes it
actually possible to read the coordinates while a piece is on their
square.
We had 4 different bools before, but the only valid states were either
that only one of them was true, or than none of them are true. An enum
is a better fit here, by enforcing that we can only be in one state at
a time.
Having an alias function that only wraps another one is silly, and
keeping the more obvious name should flush out more uses of deprecated
strings.
No behavior change.
