Thanks for this tool. I don't understand how Ruby works any more. I used to just run ruby and it worked, now There seem to be so many steps and versions, I can't do anything in Ruby.

Anyway, I was wondering if this tool could support exporting the puzzles in a format compatible with other crossword tools as well?Like PUZ or PUZ(txt) or XD or JPZ? It would be neat if there was a list in the terminal of the puzzles you had cached in the database, and then you could export them in a common format.

I don't really know ruby so I'm not too sure of what's going on. I get an error when installing from Gem.

RDoc::Parser::Ruby failure around line 31 of
lib/cliptic/terminal.rb

          Game.new(date:Date.today+offset).play

Before reporting this, could you check that the file you're documenting
has proper syntax:

  /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/bin/ruby -c lib/cliptic/terminal.rb

RDoc is not a full Ruby parser and will fail when fed invalid ruby programs.

The internal error was:

        (RDoc::Error) Invalid class or module definition: Cliptic::Main::Player

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (RDoc::Error)
    Invalid class or module definition: Cliptic::Main::Player

Thanks, Aura

It's not possible to quit the program using q, ^C, or ^D when being served the "screen too small" warning, and must be forcibly terminated. The program expects to receive a quit signal only in "normal" mode. This means you can become softlocked if you open it in an environment where your combination of display settings doesn't support the expected display size. (See #4)

I get several errors when I try to build, mostly in database.c:

database.c:417:18: warning: implicit conversion loses integer precision: 'long' to 'int' [-Wshorten-64-to-32] return INT2NUM((long)sqlite3_errcode(ctx->db));

I have ruby 3.3.3 and think I have installed all the dependencies.

When I try to run cliptic (installed using gem install...) I get this error: "undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass"

I'm using ruby 2.7.2p137 on Ubuntu 21.04. Let me know if you need other details.

Sometimes, it's nice to look back and go over the parsing you did. In the current implementation, your choices are Exit and Quit. I propose a useful feature might be "view," where I could then navigate through the puzzle and double check the clue, answer and see that I parsed it correctly. Thanks!

Supposedly, this is the earliest available puzzle, but when I try to select it, I get an exit code 1 with the following message:

Invalid date passed 2020-10-13
Earliest date 2020-10-13
Thanks for playing!

Looks like a little bug... Otherwise, working great!

EDIT: Thought I'd mention that 2020-10-14 and beyond are just fine.

If starting the program in a window large enough to draw the interface, but then resizing (or navigating away from the program using a tiled window/fullscreen toggle, such that the geometry changes to be smaller than cliptic's desired geometry) and returning again, the ncurses output becomes garbled during the temporary geometry change and is unable to update again. Would it be possible to allow the user to manually redraw the window via a keybinding?

This is readily apparent on a tiling window manager due to the way the windows are resized on the fly.
Note: this will not occur if you resize to a larger geometry, but once you resize to a smaller geometry such that the lines wrap, it will be permanently distorted.

Terminal emulator: urxvt
Window manager: i3

When installing via gem install cliptic resulting in the output

every time I try to run it I only get the result already closed window?

I've run it both directly from the ~/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.0.0/bin directory and also via a symlink to a directory in my path.

I'm on Arch Linux with gem version 3.2.21.

Thoughts?
