Weekly development report 2023-04-01

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)

Very busy week:

• Implemented full real time combat
• Finished the last 3D assets for ships
• Added some new music to the game (now it is 100 mins in total)
• Rewritten the game in Whitespace programming language.

Of course, happy the Dad's Jokes' Day, everyone. :) Back to the normal report:

Well, week after the new, more stable release and nothing new to report in the stable version of the game. Again, people probably too busy with creating the full list of problems, and I'm blind because I don't see them. ;)

In the development version, the visible work is still around the dialog with information about the player's ship's modules. But also other work done:

• Added ability to start upgrading the cabin's quality in the module info dialog. And removed the same option from the module's actions' menu.
• Added ability to stop the module's upgrade in the module info dialog.
• Added ability to start upgrading the engine's power in the module info dialog. As above, the corespondent option from the module's actions' menu was removed.
• Fixed showing information about the current upgrade in the module's info dialog.
• Some part of the code moved to Nim. Another milestone reached: now more than 10% of the game's code is ported. Now, all the code related to the ships' prototypes are in Nim.
• The old code also got some cleanup and updates.

Nimalyzer

The static code analyzer for Nim programming language

Definitely spring cleanup week. Many changes to the code related to its organization. It is mostly preparation for adding new features and rules, but it ends also in a lot of code cleanup and reduction.

• Now all the program's rules use the same code for setting the result of the check. This mean that all common code for rules should be in the same place.
• Fixed detecting the documentation comments of modules by hadDoc rule.
• Updated compilation flags for Nim 1.6.12 - loggging module uses generic Exception exceptions and generate a lot of warnings in the code.
• Added validateOptions procedure do the rules module to use it instead of the same name procedure in the program's rules. The rules themselves now will set only several settings instead of creating the whole procedure. Now only removing the old code from the rules is to be done.
• Updated GitHub workflow, so it will be using the newest version of Nimble for managing dependencies.
• Updated unit tests for rules. They now check the whole own output, thus they should now catch more problems. ;) Also, almost all tests are updated for the new validateOptions procedure.
