Weekly development report 2022-10-29

Welcome to the weekly development report or what was done in my Open Source projects in the last week.

Steam Sky

Roguelike in a sky with steampunk theme (written in Ada)

Time for the last boring update before the big release. And then, probably as usual, will be time for weekly more stable releases. :D The work on the next stable version is done. As usual, I didn't have time to add everything what I wanted. Well, at least I will have something to do with in the future. The list of changes for the past week is a bit short:

Fixed bug with information about tools needed to train Metalsmith skill.
Fixed the information about starting bases in the new game screen. This one is the best example, that I'm blind: I was looking on it by a few years and didn't see it. :) Better late than never.
Fixed the game hangs on the start a new game when the player selected a base type which is unavailable for the selected faction.
Some work with moving code to Nim. A part of reading the game data from files is moved. Still more work to do.
And the old code got some cleanup as usual.

As mentioned above, in around 24 hours since this post, the new release of the game will be available for download. I will then post a short roadmap in the announcement, as always, for the work towards the next version of the game.

The experimental command shell written in Nim

Another cleaning and maintenance week. Most of the changes focused on code cleanup, reorganization or fixing bugs. Suddenly there a lot of them emerged. Probably because I started using the shell more often. :)

Updated the code documentation and added new ones for many procedures. Mostly related to the new version of the shell's plugin system.
Fixed ability to set the shell's promptCommand option by the user. For some reasons it was set as a read-only option.
Added pragmas for new code in the shell's plugins system. It allowed to find a few more issues in the code which should be now fixed.
Fixed coloring environment variables in commands as invalid.
The shell's test plugin got some updates for better handling arguments sent to it.
Fixed not working special keys in some terminal emulators.
Updated the project's documentation with information about how to set or reset promptCommand plus some style fixes for the documentation. And with information about the last changes to the shell.
