Right now, our rendering code contains a gigantic if cascade to detect the different characters that we support.
Maybe we should put that into an xml file instead, e.g. something like

<Font>
<!-- .... -->
<Character Symbol="¿" Index="56" />
<!-- .... -->
</Font>

and then just read in this file. This would also make adding new characters to the font a bit easier.

Steps to reproduce:
(Find a second player with own computer) > both open https://blobbyvolley.de/data/bv2browser/index.html > both select "Online" > (both wait on screen "Waiting for opponent")

Expected result: Matchmaking connects both players and they can play
Actual result: Stuck on screen "Waiting for opponent"

Environment: Edge 123.0.2420.65 (Official build) (64-bit), Chrome 123.0.6312.86 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit)

Online play is impossible right now, because the game cannot connect online players.

Can we increase the minimum compiler requirements to having C++14 support, or are we targeting a platform where that is not possible?
Would give us e.g. std::make_unique, to finally get rid of all the explicit new still going on in the code.

Get rid of the remaining cases of manual resource management.
With #36 , we are getting rid of more native C++ new / delete, but
e.g. we also have all the SDL types that need SDL_Destroy* called on them.

This should make us more confident that there are no resource leaks in blobby.
Note that #36 includes some leak fixes.

Surely occurs after a certain time.

Actually no good idea what can be the reason for that.

Switch all physics computations to use fixed-point numbers.
This will enable us to get rid of the inline assembly on x86 systems, and makes physics simulation reliably reproducible across system architectures, which is important for replays.

We probably should not roll our own implementation, but use an existing one such as
https://mikelankamp.github.io/fpm/

Changing to FP match will cause some compatibility problems:
a) replay files will be incompatible due to changed binary representation
b) replaying a replay could give slightly modified results
c) packet sending state updates from server to client will become incompatible
d) simulation on client and server might be slightly different if they use different versions

Out of these, a) could be fixed relatively easily, b) won't be fixed (would require us to keep the old physics code around), c) would require some work but should be doable if both client and server have a conversion layer that reinterprets packets from an incompatible version. Finally, d) should not be significant since we send the full game state regularly, so differences cannot accumulate (unlike in replays)

Building with CMake on Windows will build only blobby.exe.
=> blobby-server.exe is missing

We should build blobby-server.exe on windows at least using MINGW.

Some bots currently cause lua to emit errors. Examples are:

• - [string "scripts/Union.lua"]:275: attempt to compare nil with number
• - [string "scripts/Union.lua"]:275: attempt to compare nil with number
• - [string "scripts/Union3.lua"]:452: attempt to compare nil with number
• - [string "scripts/hyp014.lua"]:456: attempt to compare number with nil
• - [string "scripts/hyp014.lua"]:307: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value (global 't2')
• - [string "scripts/Union3.lua"]:466: attempt to compare nil with number
• - [string "scripts/Union3.lua"]:114: attempt to index a nil value (local 'best_fun')

Some of the exception types defined in FileExceptions.h build a std::string and return its .c_str() in their what() function, meaning the returned char pointer points to the memory of a deleted string.

I'm not sure what the best way to fix this is, the entire code there seems a bit overengineered for the needs of blobby.

On linux I get the following error:

loaded rules BV2 Default Rules by Blobby Volley 2 Developers from server_rules.lua

Currently it's not possible to paste an IP address into the direct connect textbox, so it must be typed manually.

Alternatively there could be a command line option for the client to start in direct connect mode and connect to the given server.
For example: ./blobby --connect <server-ip>

See discussion in #65

Hi,

While playing on my old 32-bit PowerPC Mac running OpenBSD/macppc, i've found out that blobs colors are off, only on SDL mode (OpenGL is fine). The problem is more complex than swapping red and blue, and that fak thing gets in the mix ;)

I'm running out of ideas after trying many things, mostly because i don't really how SDL works in this regard.

I would be happy to try a potential fix :)

Splash effect always has the colour of the left blob.

We no longer have many boost dependencies. If we can get this dependency removed at least for the blobby application (not for server or test) it will simplify the compilation for various systems.

Getting closer to 1.1 release we can start thinking about what we can do next.
My idea would be to extend blobby volley with features that bring real added value to the player and this as fast as possible.
Blobby Volley 1.1 has many smaller improvements all over the code and makes sure it works on many old platforms with old compilers. But that also slowed us down on the other side. I would suggest that we move away from these restrictions with the start of development of 1.2.

Proposal:

• Let us switch to C++17 (or even C++20?!)
• Make a high SDL2 version a requirement (e.g. SDL 2.0.14 which has nice new features)
• Modern CMake where possible

Let us focus one single main feature:
What do you think of developing a league with rank system?

Any other good ideas or wishes?

I noticed during testing that if e.g. an active firewall interferes with the LAN server, pressing "Host Game" just appears to be doing nothing to the user. I'm not sure if we can actually figure out if it is the firewall interfering (I guess on Windows the OS would notify the user?), but at least we could give some feedback if the user tried to host a LAN game, but we are unable to connect to it. Possibly with a hint to check firewall settings.

Sorry for writing here. I know, it's bug tracker but I don't understand German on http://blobbyvolley.de/ .

Where is the official repository for blobby volley development? Here or in https://sourceforge.net/projects/blobby/files? Is this game actively developed (or meant to be)? :)

Hello. I have a request for support PAK archives from Blobby Volley 1.8 in the newest release if possible.

Check also my topic on blobby-liga forum
https://www.blobby-liga.de/blobby-thread.php?ID=835
I'm looking for any information on these PAK files.

This is a friendly request if you want to /and/or/ create/(co-)maintain your application

Best Regards
Damian

Hello Daniel,

I've just bought Blobby on Android and found that the screen ratio is incorrect on my phone : everything is stretched. Is there an option to fix that and get back to the same ratio as on a desktop computer ? Getting 4/3 would be great (even with black sides on the screen...).

Thanks in advance,

Ganael.

The following translations are missing in lang_it.xml:
" by "
"arrow keys"
"blobby follows finger"
"challenger: "
"games: "
"join game"
"leave game"
"open game"
"points: "
"random"
"rules:"
"rules: "
"speed: "
"stay on server"
"touch input type:"

"show blood" will be changed to "show jelly" in the future to have the translation more suitable for children. What's the right translation for italian?

After updating to MacOS Ventura 13.1 the game fails to start with an OS message "Failed to start".
After that the Gui freezes and the Mac reboots after some time.

I observed crashes of the blobby-server during endurance test. The server crashes with the following error:

Greetings,

Could you please enable HTTPS for blobbyvolley.de website?
Eg. using Let's encrypt.

Take care, cheers! ^°\_/°^ 🏐

There is a bug if you choose fullscreen on a macbook it scales wrong and you are only able to see one half of the game and there is no possibility to change it back - even deleting and reinstalling the game won't change back the settings to window mode

The game should save settings in proper directory, defined by XDG specification, instead of just ~/.blobby, by default it should be ~/.config/blobby for example.

Please take a look at:

• https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
• https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_Base_Directory

in online games, more than one player can join an open game. This should not be the case. It would be better if the other players get the information that the server is full and therefore joining is no longer possible.

When we shutdown the ThreadSafeRakServer (Disconnect method) we wait for the other thread (by observing isMainLoopThreadActive) to finish. Because of the lock it is possible that the thread never stops (Receive call in DedicatedServer class is blocked because Disconnect call holds lock and is checking isMainLoopThreadActive in an infinite loop which never become false. The result is a deadlock.

This behavior can be observed be restarting the lan server multiple times in blobby client.

.desktop file is needed to show icon in desktop environment, to make it possible to launch app from GUI. Appstream data is useful for software catalogs like Discover in KDE and GNOME Software.

I prepared basic desktop activator and appstream data for Flatpak package. https://github.com/TomaszGasior/flathub/tree/de.blobbyvolley.BlobbyVolley2

Recently, physfs added the following to its documentation regarding Android:

 * \warning On Android, argv0 should be a non-NULL pointer to a
 *          PHYSFS_AndroidInit struct. This struct must hold a valid JNIEnv *
 *          and a JNI jobject of a Context (either the application context or
 *          the current Activity is fine). Both are cast to a void * so we
 *          don't need jni.h included wherever physfs.h is. PhysicsFS
 *          uses these objects to query some system details. PhysicsFS does
 *          not hold a reference to the JNIEnv or Context past the call to
 *          PHYSFS_init(). If you pass a NULL here, PHYSFS_init can still
 *          succeed, but PHYSFS_getBaseDir() and PHYSFS_getPrefDir() will be
 *          incorrect.

We are not doing this, but then we are currently not using PHYSFS_getBaseDir() for Android, so maybe this is not a problem. But we are still passing argv[0], which may not be a nullptr.

Currently nothing is happening.

Even though we do have a few unit tests, these are not run as part of our CI pipeline currently.

When hosting my own dedicated server, I would love to have the ability to connect with a client as a spectator to a (running) game on my dedicated server. Is this possible?

The following translations are missing in lang_fr.xml:
" by "
"challenger: "
"games: "
"join game"
"leave game"
"open game"
"points: "
"random"
"rules:"
"rules: "
"speed: "
"stay on server"

"show blood" will be changed to "show jelly" in the future to have the translation more suitable for children. What's the right translation for french?

If blobby cannot find the config.xml, it currently exits without giving a useful error message.
We throw a FileSystemException, but it's what() seems to give an empty string.

Hi,

it is almost seven years when I've translated the VB2 into Czech language, but somehow I don't see it among the localization files, even if I remember I had sent it to original Blobby Volley project (?). Also attached.

Consider XMPP to negotiate with friends and potential peers.

• Use the roster (i.e. contact list of XMPP) to invite friends.

• Use MIX group chats to invite new people for a game.

• Use PubSub (XEP-0060) to publish a list of players, scores and other relevant resources.

We have some form of support code in blobby for at least the following platforms which are currently not covered by the CI

• Nintendo Switch
• Android
• iOS
• WebAssembly/Ecmscripten?
• MSVC
• SteamDeck / SteamOD?

There is also code for GP2X, is that obsolete by now?
