My Sudoku Plugin (4 Viewers)

[rtv]

For uploading fixes you can use sourceforge's patch queue, i think the team is using this to get code from users, right?

That's right (in general)

IMOON if you have new sources you can also directly send them to me - I'll check and add them inmediately under your name then Please update from svn before - I've just done some changes to follow MP's skin control guidelines.
Are you on IRC sometimes?

 

[IMOON]

Ok,
for your answers. I will try to implement something today.
In the past I was not on IRC but in the future I will be.

hi IMOON

i tested your latest code changes (but only a few minutes) and i have to say: good work
I found yet only one thing: After solving the game, should it be able to restart the same once? Now this is not possible, note that this is a minor thing.

The plugin is working now really good, espacially the multi-language and the restart feature. Now my girlfriend and my cousin will use this more
guys

best regards

There is a UK gameshow called Sudo-Q, it's on the BBC so the name must be OK to use. On one part contestants play against each other, each with a timer counting down. The computer selects and flashes the square they must enter the number for, if wrong it beeps and other contestant goes on the same square. Once guessed the computer selects the next square. They use 2 versions one using four 2x2 sized grids in a 2x2 matrix and a later one (as in the timer round) using six 3x2 grids (nums 1-6) in a 2x3 matrix. Obviously they use smaller sized sudoku's as it's a fast moving show.

Dunno if that would be of interest for an implementor. Alternatively (and a lot simpler), it could use 2 timers counting up (red and blue) and alternate the colour of the square selector so two people can take turns to pick a square (if block bad moves is on then if bad move made, then beep, add 20 seconds to timer, same person has to try again. We currently use 2 remotes to play alternate sudoku, just got no timers.


I see this is no longer a standalone plugin since 0.2.0.4 which is a shame as I have had tv drop-out issues with 0.2.1.0 and so reverted.

HappyTalk - This sound interesting. I would hope htat multi-computer games would become a reality for MP. I think they would be a blast!

Did you report this? There are many under-the-hood fixes I wouldn't miss... The primary goal should be to get the current svn as stable.

 

[HappyTalk]

I haven't reported it cos it is sporadic (most of the time) and I haven't been able to isolate it in a way that would be any use to a programmer. I had a list of about 10 things to run through that might be the cause but then you have to watch tv for ages to see if it has had an effect or not. Could be mobo, drive, ram, mp, not sure, maybe jerkiness arrival was coincidental to 0.2.1.0. Gonna ghost mp over to pc with same mobo then test more. My current totally uneducated suspicion though is that maybe the over air DVB EPG broadcast database updating might be the problem as it is very reminiscent of when I had similar issues on MythTV a while back, something they later improved/fixed. If/when I pin it down on diff hardware I'll file a report.

cheers

After starting a new game the first quit is working good. If you enter in plugin again and quit without making a new game the error happens everytime.

Tried the plugin with the latest svn, no numbers, occasionally locks, any ideas?

 

[rtv]

without a log we cannot guess if you've e.g. still the render thread enabled, etc
