Shell Completion Plugins

Idea

The ShellCompletion is quite cool until now, but as always we want more

• ShellCompletion should also be possible to complete Attributes/Parameters

Implementation

New Classes:

• ShellCompletor
• ShellCompletionPlugin

They will help to grab the required information to acquire completion-lists.

THA HORROR

LoadParam has an error when loading names, that should be delimited by spaces.

example:

   <GameWorld>
     <name>Urban City</name>
   </GameWorld>

creates a Gameworld with the name 'Urban' instead of Urban City. Tha Problem arises, because LoadParam always splits at whitespaces and ','.

The Idea

… is to

• split only at commas, and where there are whitespaces around the Comma, cut them away.
• Also to remove "" around Names, that have them.

UserNotifier

The UserNotifier is a Class, that Notifies the User about certain Events.

Idea

• Scrolling Text, that stays for n (=5 default) seconds, then fades out
• Text can be prepended by a little pixmap, so that one can give some impression about what it is on the first sight.

Implementation

• One Class UserNotifier:
  • one Function: notifyUser("Text", "optional image", …)
• If a Line gets pushed active it gets appended at the bottom
• new line pushes old lines up
• too many lines will make the fading faster
• NO SCROLLING WILL BE ENABLED (one should be able to see the History in the SHELL (only the Text, no Images)
• Fading is an Animation Effect: First it stays lit for 3 seconds, then fades linearely for 2 (for example)

Geek

• This will improve the GEEK-effect, and like this we can also make some advertisement of the current music played.
