Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This is a (inofficial) Fork of the PysolFC-2.0 open source project
|
|
(http://pysolfc.sourceforge.net)
|
|
|
|
Early investigations of the code showed, that it would not be
|
|
a too big effort to replace or add a new user interface (UI).
|
|
|
|
The new UI using kivy has been designed to meet requirments
|
|
of tablet and smartphone devices. Most of the functionality
|
|
of the original version has been maintained
|
|
|
|
The new UI is selected via a new commandline option '--kivy'.
|
|
Original user interfaces will continue to work. To run the
|
|
kivy version call:
|
|
|
|
$ python pysol.py --kivy
|
|
|
|
|
|
Images
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Original images supplied by the collection are of type
|
|
gif. In kivy that image type loads very slow. Also many
|
|
cards cannot be loaded, because of decoding errors.
|
|
To prevent from these problems, the kivy version was
|
|
modified to not read any gif images.
|
|
|
|
Some cardsets have been translated to png, a format
|
|
that is processed by both the tcl and the kivy version.
|
|
|
|
Some others, for which transparency information is not
|
|
processed correctly even from png images, have been translated
|
|
to the bmp image format (while keeping their gif variant for
|
|
the tcl version). bmp format is only processed by the
|
|
kivy version.
|
|
|
|
Additional cardsets are available from the SourceForge
|
|
project. To use them with kivy, they need to be converted to
|
|
bmp format. A shell script 'cardsetsgiftobmp' has been added
|
|
to the scripts directory (needs bash and ImageMagick).
|
|
|
|
For all gif-images in directories data/images and data/tiles
|
|
a duplicate image in png format has been added too.
