<h4>
|
|
Version 0.3.2 (30. June 2003)</h4>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Almost a real TDE3 application.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
Version 0.3.1 (31. January 2002)</h4>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Prerelease for TDE2 (Documentation not fully adjusted).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The "highscore"-file is no longer been created by the installation, but as soon as
|
|
the hall of fame has been entered.
|
|
The path (directory/filename) could be specified in the <a href="tdepacman-3.html#ss3.4">configfile</a>.
|
|
If the systemwide "highscore"-file is not writable, a private file in the
|
|
home-directory of the user is used and a corresponding message is shown.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
Version 0.3.0 (June 2000, not released)</h4>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Ms.Pacman mode implemented (mighty modification) !</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Automatic Pause/Continue in Back/Foreground, for Kevin Forge
|
|
(he has the idea for Ms.Pacman too) integrated. This options can be changed using
|
|
the menu.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Portuguese translation by Sérgio Fernandes.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Animation of the energizers und blinking of active player ("1UP") added.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Flickering during editing the hall of fame by changing the focus
|
|
removed (FocusEvents).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The mousecursor could be hidden/shown while over the playground,
|
|
thru the menubar.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The boardlayout (map) could be placed in external textfiles and selected
|
|
thru the configfile (tdepacmanrc) if needed.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Duplicate pixmaps removed. Because all pixmapfiles could be specified
|
|
thru the configfile now, pixmaps could be placed in foreign (scheme)-directories
|
|
(EyesPixmapName=../tiny/eyes.xpm), or have different names
|
|
(e.g.: LevelPixmapName=fruit.xpm).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>After eating the last dot, the first pixmap of the last/current direction
|
|
is shown. The initial pixmap of the north/up-direction was displayed so far.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
Version 0.2.6 (December 11th, 1999)</h4>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Swedish translation of some text (unfortunately incomplete) by Johne.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
By the use of special charaters (umlauts) in the swedish version, the whole
|
|
font-handling had to be rearranged.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The fonts contains (nearly) the full ISO-Latin1 characterset (no lowercase
|
|
characters).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Alignment functions built into the display routines.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
No further use of xbm-fonts, therefore pbm-files were used as fonts (they
|
|
need less space, even they contains much more characters).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
All textelements added to the localisation (i18n). So strings like "GAME
|
|
OVER" or "READY!" could be translated into any language.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The documentation and programm now contains my brandnew email-address.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
Version 0.2.5 (June 20th, 1999)</h4>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Displaying of the hall of fame changed, hopefully this fix some rare bugs.
|
|
Use lower/raise- instead of former used hide/show-functions to switch display.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The file used for HighScore storage, will be set to worldwriteable (chmod
|
|
666) during installation. Thru this "normal" users could store their highscores
|
|
permanently.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Levels entended upto 13 (LevelPixmaps, Score), by the higher scores, the
|
|
fonts (for displaying the scored points) had to be extended too. The scores
|
|
could be variable (in the range from 10 to 9000, only the leading digit
|
|
can be not 0. exception 1600 ) now. The pixmap for the score could be larger
|
|
than the actual figure itself.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Because there is not enough room to show 13 levelsymbols in the statusline,
|
|
the position of the symbol can be specified by the <a href="tdepacman-3.html#ss3.4">LevelPosition</a>
|
|
value(s).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The default-Speed of the monsters kept constant althrough higher levels,
|
|
requested by Gerald Williams.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Update-routines (display) optimized.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The documentation and programm now contains my new email-address.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
Version 0.2.4 (January 26th, 1999 - today linux v2.2 was released)</h4>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added the hall of fame to store the highscores. For this, the structure
|
|
of the bitfonts was extented to contain furthermore characters, the special-characters
|
|
(small scores during the game) moved to the control-character-region and
|
|
the fonthandling was enhanced (FontFirstChar and FontLastChar can be stored
|
|
in the Configfile).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The size of the labels in the "Change Keys..."-dialog were set manually,
|
|
cause the autoResize-function in the qt-libs didn't work correctly in all
|
|
versions.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The menuitems are more sensitive to the actual availiable functions (disabled/enabled
|
|
and checked).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Now, also in the "MIDWAY (large)"-scheme the smoother font-smooth.xbm font
|
|
is used by default.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The files for the internationalization moved to represent the new standard
|
|
locations.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
Version 0.2.3a (January 15th, 1999)</h4>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Keyboard-routines changed to be compatible with the TDE 1.1 libraries (compiles
|
|
with 1.0 and 1.1).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
A small bug fixed in tdepacman.cpp (CHECK_PTR( menuBar )).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
Version 0.2.3 (September 12th, 1998)</h4>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Slowed down the movement of the monsters in the prison, and fixed a bug
|
|
that kept the monsters moving slowly after the "harmless"-phase of the
|
|
monsters.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added a new font "font-smooth" and smoothed the pixmap "wall.xpm" for the
|
|
Zacman-scheme.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Enhanced configuration of all timing-parameters using the <a href="tdepacman-3.html#s3">configuration
|
|
file</a>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Changed Help-function (kapp->getHelpMenu) to reflect the TDE-Standard.</li>

</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|

|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Fixed bug so pixmaps and bitfonts could located correctly after using the
|
|
"Change keys..."-dialog.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Changed the location of the files (sources, pixmaps, docs etc.) to reflect
|
|
the recommeded structure of kapptemplate v0.1.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>

|

have more fun testing the next version.</li>
