(Current source code for the project.)
(Removed source code, linking to the site where the source code is currently kept. Added some other information on the client and listed the things that I'm still working on.)
Line 1: Line 1:
The most current source code for this project is now hosted on SourceForge.net. Specifically, http://sourceforge.net/projects/archlich/ is the project page, and one can find the CVS Repository listing at http://archlich.cvs.sourceforge.net/archlich/src/. The project is called, simply, "ArchLich". Information on using CVS can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=199690. The ''modulename'' for the source code is "src".
This article contains the current source code for my project. Keep in mind that while this program runs, it is almost utterly devoid of features and isn't finished in any way. There is no scripting support, no highlighting, nothing.


== ArchLich ==
Currently, running the front end requires Ruby 1.8.5 or later with the Ruby/gtk2
libraries installed. In order to log in to the actual game, run the main.rb script
using the command 'ruby ./main.rb' while in the directory containing the front end.
There is also a test instance which allows running the front end without logging in
to GemStone IV, which can be ran by running the command 'ruby ./test.rb' in the same
directory.


;Things to do
<pre>
* ''(in progress)'' Format text in the TextView port.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
* ''(in progress)'' Teach program to parse XML.
# This script is written by Andrew Sage.
* ''(in progress)'' Complete functionality of 'Dynamic'-type windows.

* Add spell duration timer to the Spellfront window.
require 'gtk2'
* Create a menu item that allows you to chose which windows are open.
require 'socket'
* Add option to move status bars to a separate window.

* Status indicators.
# Settings!
$localecho = true
;Known bugs

* None, other than the program is incomplete.
# Text tags, for the TagTables.

Revision as of 05:42, 30 June 2007

The most current source code for this project is now hosted on SourceForge.net. Specifically, http://sourceforge.net/projects/archlich/ is the project page, and one can find the CVS Repository listing at http://archlich.cvs.sourceforge.net/archlich/src/. The project is called, simply, "ArchLich". Information on using CVS can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=199690. The modulename for the source code is "src".

Currently, running the front end requires Ruby 1.8.5 or later with the Ruby/gtk2 libraries installed. In order to log in to the actual game, run the main.rb script using the command 'ruby ./main.rb' while in the directory containing the front end. There is also a test instance which allows running the front end without logging in to GemStone IV, which can be ran by running the command 'ruby ./test.rb' in the same directory.
