Packages

Definition Classes: root

This is the root package for the Openstrat project.

This is the root package for the Openstrat project. The top of this package contains, 32 bit Int based Colours, the Multiple type class, a show and persistence library using RCON (Name may change), Rich Compact Object Notation, array based compound value collections of same length elements, an Either based errors framework and general utilities.

package geom

The package name has been chosen to avoid clashing with "geometry" that may be use in other libraries This package contains geometry vectors and graphics.

The package name has been chosen to avoid clashing with "geometry" that may be use in other libraries This package contains geometry vectors and graphics. Of particular note are the Vec2, GeomElem and GraphicElem class /traits. These are the foundation of the API and the library. A number of implementation Value classes of the Int and Double product classes defined in ostrat. 2d graphical objects for generalised use. They are of particular use for the generic canvas based classes defined in pCanv but can be used in any display framework and for printing.

package p1783

This p1783 package is the beginnings of a grand strategy development game starting in 1783.

package p305

This is the beginnings of a grand strategy game starting in BC305 covering Europe, North Africa and West Asia.

Definition Classes: ostrat

package pCanv

The package attempts to encapsulate the various abstract canvas traits while the actual objects that populate a canvas go in package geom.

package pChess

This is a package for Chess and Draughts (also known as Checkers).

This is a package for Chess and Draughts (also known as Checkers). It has been included in the main Strat library, as useful to have code. Because they are finished games, with established rules and iconography. As opposed to applications like GOne, GTwo etc, which are super simple games merely created for the teaching of the use use of the ostrat libraries. And also as opposed to the games in the Dev module which are intended to be developed into interesting games which may at some point have their own individual repositories.

package pEarth

This package and module is for Earth maps.

This package and module is for Earth maps. In particular the tiling of the whole world in Hex grids, defining the changes over the course of history. This will be a data orientated module. It will also include terrain types to model terrain, both real and imagined for local maps and higher scales right up to 0.5 metres per tile However it won't generally include the data for these. The data for the real world will be organised according to a number of levels, which are likely to change over increasingly shorter historical time frames.

1 Base elevation, relative to 1950 sea level, and relief. 2 Climate. 2 Sea level, shore lines, lake shore lines and river courses. 3 Land-use, both natural and human.

package pGrid

This package works with hexagonal and Square tile grids.

This package works with hexagonal and Square tile grids. The tile objects themselves will not in the general case the contain grid coordinates, although it may be necessary to include this data for complex Tile values interacting with their wider environment. Its fundamental components are the grid data itself. This is just a linear array of tile data. Compile-time typed grid data. So for example a chess board can be represented by a 64 element Arr, its context determines that it is to be interpreted as an 8 by 8 square grid. Grid descriptions that describe the grid representation in the Array and GridFunctions which implement Cood to T. The grid and grid-gui hierarchies currently contain a mix of new and old systems.

The package name pGrid was chosen to allow you to use the name "grid" in your code.

package pParse

This is the RSON package.

This is the RSON package. Readable Succinct Object Notation. It could be just as accurately be described as Readable Succinct Data Notation, but that wouldn't scan as well and indicate it as a better replacement for JSON. RSON uses the standard semicolon separated statements combined with multilevel bracket hierarchy syntax familiar from C, C++, Java and JavaScript. Its main innovations over JSON and XML are allowing statements to be partitioned into comma delineated clauses, the empty statement, the empty clause and type inference. It uses a context free operator precedence hierarchy, with the exception of allowing the 4 ( - + ~ !) operator to be used as prefix operators. Beyond this it generally follows Scala syntax where this doesn't conflict with the preceding rules. Unlike Scala statements must finish with a semicolon unless it is the last statement of a file or a bracket block. Allowing statements to end with a newline introduces horrendous ambiguities unless one is willing to go completely down the significant whitespace route and I'm not sure if that could work even work for such a general purpose basic syntax.

The above allows it to combine a high level of human readability, succinctness, non-programmer / non-expert write-ability, programmer flexibility and composability and fast-parsing. The initial motivating use case was strategy games, which require huge amounts of modable date files. XML and JSON, the current defaults are simply not fit for purpose. RSON aims to break down the walls between game player, game modder, professional game artist, professional game scripter, professional imperative programming wizards in languages such as C / C++ and Rust and professional functional programming wizards in languages such as Scala, Haskell and Idris.
