[gcompris-devel] Testing CVS-Version

[Ronny Standtke]

Hi all,

Now that all the jingle belling is over I found some free time today and gave 
the cvs version of gcompris another try. The following things came up:


1. The 3D-Labyrinth does not work because of a missing icon.

The following error message appears:
** ERROR **: Couldn't find file 
/usr/local/share/gcompris/boards/images/gcompris-2d-bubble.png !
aborting...
Aborted

I checked the source code and could not find the file. I could also not find 
it in the online cvs under 
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gcompris/boards/images/


2. Some boards do not have "negative feedback"

The boards enumerate and target do not provide any feedback if the kid 
provided the wrong solution.


3. Modality problems

The positive feedback flower in the boards readingv and readingh does not 
pause the board itself. The board paints its buttons over the flower and can 
be used even while the flower is presented.


4. Pause after solution selection leads to problems

In some boards there is a short pause between selecting the solution and 
presenting the feedback. In this pause several things can be done, like 
selecting another solution or opening the help. If the help is opened in this 
situation it is not modal any more and we have the same problems like 
reported some weeks ago. The affected boards are: missing_letter, colors, 
read_colors, advanced_colors and leftright.


5. Wrong number of levels

In the board chess_partyend one can select levels from 1 to 9 but it appears 
there are only 3 "real" levels. The same is with the board chess_movelearn 
but there appear to be 5 levels.


6. Empty handbooks

The handbook entries in the chess boards help are all empty.


7. Wrong message

In the Labyrinth board there is now a message at the bottom of the screen that 
is only meant for the 3D variant of the labyrinth.


8. Manual update necessary

In the click_on_letter board manual it reads "...by clicking on the speaker 
icon..." but now we have a nice mouth icon :-)!

Greetings & all the happy new year stuff!
