Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This is a version of the PySolFC open source project
|
|
(http://pysolfc.sourceforge.net)
|
|
|
|
Early investigations of the code showed, that it would not be
|
|
a too big effort to add a new user interface (UI).
|
|
|
|
The new UI using kivy has been designed to meet requirements
|
|
of tablet and smartphone devices. Most of the functionality
|
|
of the original version has been maintained
|
|
|
|
The new UI is selected via a new command line option '--kivy'.
|
|
The original user interfaces will continue to work. To run the
|
|
kivy version call:
|
|
|
|
$ python pysol.py --kivy
|
|
|
|

|
Images
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The original images supplied by the collection are of type
|
|
gif. In kivy, that image type loads very slowly. Moreover, many
|
|
cards cannot be loaded, because of decoding errors.
|
|
To prevent these problems, the kivy version was modified to not read
|
|
any gif images.
|
|
|
|
For all GIF images in the directories data/images and data/tiles,
|
|
corresponding images in the PNG format have been added.
|
|
|
|
To convert the cardsets to png format, a shell script, 'cardconv' , has been
|
|
added to the scripts directory. It requires Bash and ImageMagick
|
|
to be installed.
|
|
|
|
Additional cardsets are available from the SourceForge project. To use
|
|
them with kivy, make sure they to also convert them to the png format if
|
|
needed.
