Adatyper

Description

Adatyper is an open source typing game written in the Ada programming language. This programme will contain a set of games and execices to learn typing in a simple and fast way. It's aimed to be runned in a Terminal or in a Console (Windows) that can recognise ANSI escape sequences, so it has no dependences at all.

Versions

The game isn't in a stable release yet, in other words there is no game yet. Some pre releases executables are bundled in different versions of github, but they are not playable yet.

How to build the game?

You will need the GNAT or any other Ada compiler and the GPR build tools. You can also use alire to compile it, but it hasn't been released in Alire yet.

To compile it just run

gprbuild -Padatyper

If you are running Windows run it with the following flags:

gprbuild -Padatyper -XADATYPER_OPERATING_SYTEM=windows

These are the external variables you can use (they are introduced in gprbuild with -X=

ADATYPER_COMPILE_CHECKS (enabled/disabled [default=enabled])
ADATYPER_RUNTIME_CHECKS (enabled/disabled [default=enabled]): It's better not to disable this, it's safer to have it enabled.
ADATYPER_STYLE_CHECKS (enabled/disabled [default=disabled]): Please, don't enable this, I don't care about style checks maybe in the future I will change it. But if you try to compile it with this enabled keep in mind it's not going to compile.
ADATYPER_CONTRACTS (enabled/disabled [default=enabled]): It's up to you to enable or disable this, but it's better to have it enabled.
ADATYPER_BUILD_MODE (debug/optimize [default=debug]): Change this if you want to optimize it.
ADATYPER_OPERATING_SYSTEM (linux/windows [default=linux]): It's not going to compile in Windows if you don't change this.
ADATYPER_ANSI_COMPLIANCE (enabled/disabled [default=enabled]): If you are compiling for an ansi-compliant terminal enable it, otherwise disable it. The lastest versions of Windows 10 have an ansi-compliant console, but older versions don't. There is no way to compile for a non-ansi-compliant posix system.

To compile it with alire just run:

alr build
