Welcome to the weekly development report or what was done in my Open Source
projects in the last week.
Roguelike in a sky with steampunk theme (written in Ada)
This week was passed definitely too fast :) The most of the work was spent on
various under the hood tasks, thus no screenshots this time.
- Started work on redesign various questions' dialog, so they will look and
feel like the rest of the UI.
- Fixed some bugs related to loading the game configuration.
From the invisible part:
- As always, code cleanup and updating code documentation work slowly moving
forward.
- Finished fixing coding style. Now it looks a little better than earlier.
- Started a new, big project. Some time ago I wrote that soon or later I will
use military or avionic standards to prevent/finding bugs. And this time
happened. I started using the static code analysis tool called AdaControl,
created and used (not sure if still in use there) by Eurocontrol
to check correctness of their Ada code :D Of course it still isn't DO-178C standard
but the game very slowly going in that direction. At this moment AdaControl
reports mostly (around 90%) style problems, but the rest 10% looks for me
like potential problems in the code, or possibilities to optimize it.
Anyway, fixing all these reports also will take some time. Steam Sky maybe
will not be the best roguelike but definitely the one who can be used on
airplanes hardware :D
Ada binding to Tcl/Tk, the new version of TASHY
Fun with static code analysis continue. At this moment, the current binding to
the various Tcl commands and API's should be fixed. The work started now on Tk
binding. Also, the unit tests were updated to the new version of the binding
plus demo helloworld was updated too.

Graphical File Manager for Linux (written in Ada)
Generally speaking, the maintenance week here, same as in other projects:
- Fixed copying and moving items in console version of the program
- Added treating all warnings as errors to the debug build of the program
- Same as with Steam Sky, started work on static code analysis with
AdaControl
Non-Intelligent console assistant (written in Ada)
And here is almost literally copy and paste from the last week:
As the maintenance work continue here, the whole week was related to running
static code analysis and fixing all reported problems. Also, fixed the problem
with creating output files for the commands.
News from the Ada programming language world
As other projects, this one also got some maintenance work:
- The page title for anonymous users were fixed (at least for English version)
- The list with the RSS feeds were updated too
