For what it's worth, you might consider refactoring the way the base HTML file for quixe is generated. You can make a controller smart enough to generate this HTML and save it to the right place. That is the Railsy way to handle this. |
When creating content dir for quixe games, use our locally-installed Quixe interpreter.
…t script. Getting rid of the bogus contents of the test games' "main" directories, replacing them with files that are processed as expected into their respective "content" direcories.

@taskboy3000, I get you, but I want this to work outside of the web application per se. In other words, I want to (and often do) call a script that re-generates the pages in question, as needed. I'd rather not have to artificially hit the website via script to have the same effect. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This looks fine to me, though I haven't really dug into the details. I'm not particularly up on the various interpreters and how that all works.
This does feel like the kind of work that should be put on the dev/staging/test (I dunno what you call it) server and tested out there for a bit before merging, though. But I'll defer to the rest of y'all on that.
…est entries between two comp "years".
It also removes the restriction of displaying transcript links only during the judging period. In this way, authors can test their own games' transcription powers prior to judging, and why not?
This extends transcription visibility to quixe games.

The version of Parchment in this branch is extremely old, and probably somewhat buggy. Why was zvm.min.js deleted? |
|
@curiousdannii: Could you please open a new issue with your recommendation for which commit or branch of Parchment to use for Z-code games? I'd love to update IFComp's copy. As to your question... well, it's a good question. I don't consciously remember deleting zvm.min.js, so it may have been an oversight on my part while I rearranged IFComp's interpreter files. That said, it looks like that file is (at least in the version IFComp uses) invoked only by parchment.debug.js, which in turn is not invoked by anything? |
This adds the Quixe interpreter, version 2.1.6, to the project. Consequently, it removes the Glulx-compatible Parchment files from the project (while preserving Parchment for use with Z-code games).
Uploaded Glulx-based games that don't themselves provide a Quixe interpreter will use ours. It doesn't make use of Quixe's native transcript recording, but I intend to add this in a future (pre-October) update.
This patch also improves and clarifies the contents of root/static/interpreter, putting everything into three neat subdirectories (for parchment, quixe, and the transcript recorder), instead of its current muddle.
