<h1 id="contextgeneration">Context generation</h1>
|
|
<p>In February I've updated the <strong>C</strong>ross-<strong>l</strong>anguage <strong>d</strong>ialect (CLD) translator to
|
|
generate Context out of YML. The generated Contexts have already been
|
|
used for the following projects:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>CLD (the CLD translator generated its own Context)</li>
|
|
<li>LHA</li>
|
|
<li>PSKOV</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>I never really took time to explain what Context is, so here's
|
|
a very short explanation: Context is very close to
|
|
<a href="https://redux.js.org/introduction/getting-started#basic-example">Store in Redux</a>. I'm afraid this is not yet the time
|
|
to explain Context in detail because I don't yet have a good. . .</p>

|
|
<p>In January I implemented half of the functionality of original
|
|
PSKOV: generation of separate HTML pages from Markdown.</p>
|
|
<p>Both PSKOV 1 and PSKOV 2 produce HTML files that look the same in web browsers.
|
|
However, the contents of the generated HTML files differ because PSKOV 1 uses
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/showdownjs/showdown">Showdown</a> to convert Markdown to HTML, whereas PSKOV 2 uses
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/JetBrains/markdown">intellij-markdown</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Let's see how the generated HTML files compare. Suppose we have the following. . .</p>

<li><strong>The first quarter</strong> (January - March):<ul>
|
|
<li>(Swift) Implemented data bus for iOS to create common space of communication for fragmented code</li>
|
|
<li>Introduced "Limited language model" term to describe portable code rules</li>
|
|
<li>Python was selected as the anchor programming language from which to generate functional copies in other languages</li></ul></li>
|
|
<li><strong>The second quarter</strong> (April - June):<ul>
|
|
<li>(Python) Created the first version of Python -> C++ translator. . .</li></ul></li>

|
|
<p>Tiny web server called Local Host Access (<strong>LHA</strong>) is ready to replace
|
|
Local File System Access (<strong>LFSA</strong>) on JVM and macOS: I've generated this
|
|
very article with LHA on macOS. Thus, Kotlin prooved to be a good choice for
|
|
cross-platform development with a minor limitation.</p>
|
|
<p>The minor limitation is the fact that 99% of Kotlin is used on JVM. The
|
|
remaining 1% is so-called Kotlin Native for iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
|
|
Thus, when one needs something as simple as to find out if a symlink. . .</p>

<p>Now, we have an old "PSKOV" version and we need an improved one.</p>

<p>First, we should recall what "PSKOV" consists of:</p>

<li>The <a href="https://opengamestudio.org/pskov/en/pskov_1.0.0.html">generator</a> itself in the form of HTML page with JavaScript</li>

<li>Helper <a href="https://opengamestudio.org/lfsa/en/index.html">Python script</a> to save generated files to disk</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Helper script is used to bypass web page restriction to access
|
|
local file system.</p>
|
|
<p>The script itself is a tiny web server with the following commands:</p>

<p>In August I implemented scene switching, which allowed me to do the following:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>pressing "Start the game" button in the splash screen takes the player to a level with three floors</li>
|
|
<li>selecting a door takes the player to another floor</li>
|
|
<li>selecting a TV set focuses the player on the TV set with a remote control</li>
|
|
<li>switching TV channels results in different images being shown</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Thus, scenes are good both for focusing on items and moving the player around.. . .</p>

<p>When July started my initial plan was to make the instrument support Python to
|
|
JavaScript code translation. However, this did not happen because tasks with
|
|
higher priority emerged.</p>
|
|
<p>Which task is more important than develpment of the instrument?
|
|
Development of a game, of course! Now, let's go back to the beginning of
|

July 2024…</p>

<p>In June I implemented GUI for "Memory" game in Python with the help of

<a href="https://arcade.academy">Python Arcade</a>.</p>

<p>While searching for the most convenient tool to create resources (assets), I found

notebooks lined with graph paper to work the best:</p>

gamejam of <a href="https://dtf.ru/games/2783053-nachni-igru-ocenka-videorolikov">"Start the game"</a>. "Memory" game was used with a customized look to satisfy jam requirements.</p>
