Dia Dhuit GNOME.Weekly Report 5:GSOC

27th June 2011 :  During the fifth week of gsoc I worked on the following:-

• Adding a Multilist to Dicey-Dicey :I gave a final touch up to dicey_dicey activity by creating a multilist of numbers by following the rules 1)proposing a question with same answer only once 2)not to propose a question that contains the answer 3) re-propose the question which is not correctly answered.


• Rhymes_Riddles Activity :Activity which I started previous week was remarked by Bruno as per which I worked on the following issues:-
  * Added a repeat icon.
  * Created a multilist of questions.
  * Accept answers in lower and upper case.
  * Set the text("Type your answer here") in the entry widget to appear for the first time only.
  * Fixed the gtk widget issue on pause.

  
  # There is a problem with GTK widgets, they are not covered by the help
        # We hide/show them here
        if(self.board_paused):
            self.entry.hide()
        else :
            self.entry.show()
  
  



• Louis_braille-activity :This activity includes story of Louis Braille life narrated in a lively style. It includes introduction to his biography and discovery of braille.This week I loved researching on Louis Braille and collecting relevant pictures with each story.An amazing video on Louis Braille :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bdfC2j_4x4&feature=related
  To give a look and feel of slideshow I added previous and next buttons to the activity.
  Also I have imported ConfigParser module at this stage to parse through activity.desktop file where I have included the activity content with year,story and images of activity at each level.

  
  def read_data(self):
      '''Load the activity data'''
      config = ConfigParser.RawConfigParser()
      p = gcompris.get_properties()
  
      filename = gcompris.DATA_DIR + '/' + self.gcomprisBoard.name + '/activity.desktop'
      try:
        gotit = config.read(filename)
        if not gotit:
  
           gcompris.utils.dialog(_("Cannot find the file       
           '{filename}'").format(filename=filename),None)
           return False
  
      except ConfigParser.Error as error:
        gcompris.utils.dialog(_("Failed to parse data set '{filename}' 
  
        with error:\n{error}").format(filename=filename, error=error), None)
        return False
  
      self.dataset = config
      return True
