[Sugar-devel] [PATCH Maze v2] Save and restore state of the game

Manuel Kaufmann humitos at gmail.com
Tue Mar 27 09:15:10 EDT 2012


Ability to 'save' (when the user closes the Activity) and 'restore' (when the
user launch it from the Journal or the Home without holding Alt) the state of
the game.

For this ability I had to upgrade 'olpcgames' to 1.6 because
'olpcgames.FILE_READ_REQUEST' and 'olpcgames.FILE_WRITE_REQUEST' events are
added in that version and those events are needed for this.

The data is saved (as JSON, with json module) in the 'event.metadata["state"]' and the timestamp state is saved in 'event.filename'.

This commit solves ticket #2393:
 * http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2393

+"""Embeds the Canvas widget into a Sugar-specific Activity environment
 
+The olpcgames.activity module encapsulates creation of a Pygame activity.
+Your Activity should inherit from this class. Simply setting some class 
+attributes is all you need to do in a class inheriting from 
+olpcgames.activity.PygameActivity in order to get Pygame to work.  
+
+(The skeleton builder script creates this file automatically for you).
+
+Note: 
+    You should not import pygame into your activity file, as the olpcgames 
+    wrapper needs to be initialized before pygame is imported the first time.

+Example usage:
+
+    class PygameActivity(activity.Activity):
+        game_name = None
+        game_title = 'Pygame Game'

-'''mesh.py: utilities for wrapping the mesh and making it accessible to Pygame'''
+'''Utilities for wrapping the telepathy network for Pygame
+
+The 'mesh' module allows your Pygame game to be Shared 
+across the OLPC networking infrastructure (D-bus and Tubes).
+It offers a simplified view of the Telepathy system.
+
+All Sugar activities have a 'Share' menu (toolbar) which is 
+intended to allow other people to join the activity instance 
+and collaborate with you. When you select Share, the activity's 
+icon appears on the Neighborhood view of other laptops.
+
+If you do nothing else with networking, this is all that will 
+happen: if anyone selects your shared activity icon, they will 
+just spawn a new instance of the activity, and they will get to 
+play your game alone.
+
+The mesh module automatically sets up a connection from each 
+participant to every other participant.  It provides (string based)
+communications channels that let you either broadcast messages 
+to other users or communicate point-to-point to one other user.
+
+You can use the "handles" which uniquely idenify users to send 
+messages to an individual user (send_to( handle, message )) or 
+broadcast( message ) to send a message to all participants.
+
+More advanced (structured) networking can be handled by using 
+the get_object( handle, path ) function, which looks up an object 
+(by DBUS path) shared by the user "handle" and returns a 
+DBUS/Telepathy proxy for that object.  The object you get back is 
+actually an olpcgames.dbusproxy.DBUSProxy instance, which 
+enforces asynchronous operations and runs your 
+reply_handler/error_handler in the Pygame event loop.
+
+NOTE:
+    You *cannot* make synchronous calls on these objects!  
+    You must use the named arguments:
+
+        reply_handler, error_handler
+
+    for every call which you perform on a shared object (normally 
+    these are ExportedGObject instances).
+
+If you want to run your callbacks in the GTK event loop (for instance 
+because they need to handle GTK-side objects), you can use the 
+dbus_get_object function.  This is *not* recommended for normal 
+usage, as any call to Pygame operations within the GTK event loop 
+can cause a segfault/core of your entire Activity.
+
+Note:
+
+    mesh sets up N**2 connections for each shared activity, obviously 
+    that will not scale to very large shared activities. 
+
+Note: 
+
+    The intention is that mesh will be refactored, possibly as a 
+    new module called "olpcgames.network", which would break out 
+    the various components so that there is no longer an assumed 
+    networking layout.  We will attempt to retain the mesh module's 
+    API as we do so.
+
+Events produced:
+
+    olpcgames.CONNECT -- The tube connection was started. (i.e., the 
+        user clicked Share or started the activity from the Neighborhood 
+        screen).
+        
+        Event properties:
+        
+            id -- a unique identifier for this connection. (shouldn't be needed 
+                for anything)
+
+    olpcgames.PARTICIPANT_ADD -- A participant joined the activity. 
+        This will trigger for the local user as well as any arriving remote 
+        users.  Note that this *only* occurs after the activity is shared, 
+        that is, the local user does not appear until after they have 
+        shared a locally-started activity.
+
+        Event properties:
+
+            handle --  the arriving user's handle (a uniquely identifying string 
+                assigned to the user by the Telepathy system, not human 
+                readable), see lookup_buddy to retrieve human-readable 
+                descriptions of the user.
+
+    olpcgames.PARTICIPANT_REMOVE --  A participant quit the activity.
+    
+        Event properties:
+
+            handle -- the departing user's handle.
+
+    olpcgames.MESSAGE_UNI -- A message was sent to you.
+    
+        Event properties:
+        
+           content --  the content of the message (a string)
+           handle -- the handle of the sending user.
+
+    olpcgames.MESSAGE_MULTI -- A message was sent to everyone.
+
+        Event properties:
+        
+           content -- the content of the message (a string)
+           handle -- the handle of the sending user.
+
+Note:
+
+    Eventually we will stop using top-level Pygame event types for the 
+    various networking message types (currently four of them).  We will 
+    likely use UserEvent with a sub-type specifier for the various events 
+    that OLPCGames produces.

-    pygame (obviously)
+    numpy
+    (pygame)
+
+As soon as you import this module you have loaded *all* of the above.
+You can still use pygame.font until you decide to call install(), which 
+will replace pygame.font with this module.
+
+Notes:
+
+    * no ability to load TTF files, PangoFont uses the font files registered 
+        with GTK/X to render graphics, it cannot load an arbitrary TTF file.  
+        Most non-Sugar Pygame games use bundled TTF files, which means 
+        that you will likely need at least some changes to your font handling.
+        
+        Note, however, that the Pygame Font class is available to load the TTF 
+        files, so if you don't want to take advantage of PangoFont for already 
+        written code, but want to use it for "system font" operations, you can 
+        mix the two.
+        
+    * metrics are missing, Pango can provide the information, but the more 
+        involved metrics system means that translating to the simplified model 
+        in Pygame has as of yet not been accomplished.
+        
+    * better support for "exotic" languages and scripts (which is why we use it)
+
+The main problem with SDL_ttf is that it doesn't handle internationalization 
+nearly as well as Pango (in fact, pretty much nothing does). However, it is 
+fairly fast and it has a rich interface. You should avoid fonts where possible, 
+prerender using Pango for internationalizable text, and use Pango or SDL_ttf 
+for text that really needs to be rerendered each frame. (Use SDL_ttf if profiling 
+demonstrates that performance is poor with Pango.)
+
+Note:
+    Font -- is the original Pygame Font class, which allows you to load 
+        fonts from TTF files/filenames
+    PangoFont -- is the Pango-specific rendering engine which allows 
+        for the more involved cross-lingual rendering operations.
