Bugs

BugID Name Module Description Discovered Time Fixed Time
1 Joey Client Client references two different image folders. One of which does not exist. This, for some strange reason disallows the recognition of chits being clicked.
Fixed:Changed the location of both to be consistent at PROJECT_ROOT/images 		1030h 10/10/08 1045h 10/10/08
2 Dan Client/Server An exception is caught for "File games.txt" not existing, but then you log in and it sleeps. 1830h 16/10/08
3 Dan Server Connection refused when you start the client and server at the same time 1830h 16/10/08
4 Dan Client/Server An exception is caught after 9 - 10 seconds if you open the client and do not log in 1830h 16/10/08
5 Katherine Client Starting up two clients and logging in with the same username causes 3 versions of each game to show up under the 'new games' list for 1 client. Using the same username also causes other various crashes to occur. 0120h 24/10/08
6 Joey Client The client crashes when run without a server running when defaulting to localhost. However, when specifying the address of another host which doesn't exist, nothing happens and the client logs into a blank server.
Fixed: Changed Network_ClientConnection.java and GameClient.java to check if the host is reachable before displaying login. If not reachable within 2 seconds, show a message to the user that there is no server. 		0130h 24/10/08 0200h 24/10/08
7 Joey Client/Server When specifiying an address other than a loopback address i.e. localhost or 127.0.0.1, the client may login but there will be no games displayed. 0220h 24/10/08
8 Joey Server When running twice, an exception is thrown. Should shutdown gracefully and warn the operator that the ports are being used.
Fixed: Simply printed out information in the catch block rather than print stack trace which would confuse the non-expert. 		0325h 24/10/08 0338h 24/10/08
9 Joey Networking Specifying a name including message separators % or # result in crashes or odd behavior such as the logging in without any games displayed, or client crashing when chatting. 1300h 24/10/08
10 Joey Client/Networking Including newline characters \n at the end of a sentence when chatting results in the client crashing, throwing an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception. 1320h 24/10/08

Limitations

A limitation of game design is that the engine does not support any games other than those which have chits and a limited number of possible moves for each chit, and where the chit may only move position. -joey

A documented bug in the client results in 450x500 being the only possible values for the game screen. -joey

Usability Issues

Slightly confusing naming system of engine components. -Katherine

Eg:

  • clientElmo.Client
  • clientElmo.GameClient
  • elmo.Client
