| | 4 | Things to remember when adding a new puzzle |
| | 5 | ------------------------------------------- |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | Write the source file for the new puzzle (duhh). |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | Add it to Recipe in _four_ places: |
| | 10 | - the `ALL' definition, to ensure it is compiled into the OS X binary |
| | 11 | - as a GTK build target |
| | 12 | - as a Windows build target |
| | 13 | - in the Unix `make install' section at the bottom. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | If the puzzle is by a new author, modify the copyright notice in |
| | 16 | LICENCE and in puzzles.but. (Also in index.html, but that's listed |
| | 17 | below under website changes.) |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | Add it to list.c so that the OS X binary will be able to select it |
| | 20 | from the menus. (Also, double-check that the game structure name in |
| | 21 | the source file has been renamed from `nullgame'. Actually compiling |
| | 22 | it on OS X would be a good way to check this, if convenient.) |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | Add a documentation section in puzzles.but. |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | Make sure there's a Windows help topic name defined in puzzles.but, |
| | 27 | and that it's referenced by the help topic field in the game |
| | 28 | structure in the source file. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | Add the new Unix binary name to the svn:ignore property. |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | Don't forget to `svn add' the new source file before checkin! |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | Put the puzzle on the web: |
| | 35 | - make a screenshot |
| | 36 | - add an entry in the puzzles list in index.html |
| | 37 | - adjust the copyright in index.html if the puzzle is by a new |
| | 38 | author |
| | 39 | - add a link to the Windows binary |
| | 40 | - make sure the Windows binary link points at the right binary, not |
| | 41 | the wrong one! |
| | 42 | - run puzzlesnap |
| | 43 | - test that the binary link and the docs link work |
| | 44 | - run webupdate |
| | 45 | - test again |
| | 46 | - `svn add' the binary symlink and the screenshot |
| | 47 | - check in the website changes (screenshot, symlink, index.html) |
