Version 59 of Refrigerator_Magnetic_Poetry

Updated 2006-08-23 22:27:49

This page uses TCL8/Expect 5.2 for windows to develop Refrigerator magnetic Poetry. For example, we are laying out tiles in random colors imprinted with text and symbols applied randomly. Would also like to develop a crude Mahjong program using some of these subroutines.

       # shape and "grouped" design would move
       # by mouse. "grouped" design is used
       # extensively in Microsoft powerpoint
       # and Harvard Graphics, etc.
       # This first effort is refrigerator
       # magnet poetry in English.
       # Believe a similar select & die could
       # be used for a computer Mahjong game
       # or coin&card games.
       # Could use TCL8.4 chinese charactors
       # on top of tiles for Chinese magnetic
       # poetry or colored Mahjong tiles.

Code Reuse
Tcl's package system makes it easy to write code that can be reused.
   Many  other people have made their 
 code available for reuse.

 ''Q. from goldshell7'':I am trying to load a feature or  
 subroutine "select&pair_then_die" ,
 where one selects two equal pieces in color,text, or 
 tags. If the two pieces are equal , both pairs disappear from
 the screen ( or to a hockey safety zone on the screen). 
 Kind of like the old Microsoft Mahjong game, which
 was an elimination process of equal pairs.

  ''A. received''
 You should make up unique tags 
 and assign them to both the rect   
 and the text inside it, and for convenience,
 another one for   the  text only.
 incr n 
 $w create rect ... -tags [list mv obj$n]
 $w create text ... -tags [list mv obj$n text$n]
 For moving, specify the obj.. tag so both move together.

 To get the tags of the current selection, try something like:
 set tags [$w gettags current]

 In the returned list, locate the tag with the obj number, 
  e.g.    like this
 regexp {obj(\d+)} $tags -> number

 You can retrieve the text by giving the tag
 set text [$w itemcget text$number -text]
 end of record.

 ''Q. from goldshell7'':28jul2006,would like
   selected tiles to have a red, blue, or   
   colored    outline. However

  commented ".c itemconfigure tile_number -outline
 red"  colored outine but reverts text font to 
  vertical arranged text.

  Maybe somebody can figure how to keep text 
  horizontal.
