Subject: Recorder experimental new UI, Sound Sliders and larger Tetris source code
From: Joaquim Carvalho (jdc_at_x64.com)
Date: 2003-02-21

Hi, it's me again.

The following patches are based on the Rockbox 1.4 release.
If any of these patches gets accepted I'll be happy and keep
working on Rockbox (some people have strange hobbies). If not
I'm happy too, I did these changes mainly because I needed
them but it's rather hard to keep patching a changing program
so I don't think I'll do much more work.

- ui.patch
  - Global keys [On] [F1] [F2] [F3] go to
    Brouse Sound_Sliders Menu and WPS screens
  - Inverted line cursor
  - Improved some icons
  - Volume setup "linearized" for very low volume levels
    Resolution has not been lost above 60%
  - also contains the tetris and sound sliders patch

http://x64.com/public/tetris.patch
- tetris.patch
  Larger graphics for Tetris (doubled graphics area)
  Vertical orientation
  Enter key rotates

- sound_menu.patch

For a quick test the binary is available at:

(I don't know if it's OK to post 150k on the list)

The complete patched 1.4 source code is available at:
http://www.x64.com/public/rockboxjdc200203.tar

--------------------------------------------------------------

Things I plan to do next:

a)
1979 HeadOn(Coin-Op) by Sega/Gremlin look alike game,
perfect match for the Recorder lcd screen, one of the
most exciting games I have ever played. I have the
source code I did to run on another device, it's
easy to port it to the Recorder

b)
Play everything inside a folder (random/sequential)

c)
Cleanup/better integrate my code to allow for future improvements

d)
User definable shortcut "long" keys
[Long On]
[Long F1]
[Long F2]
[Long F3]
A nice side-effect of the Global keys is that a sequence like
[F2][Down][Right][Right] takes us to the Tetris game every time :)
I plan to let the users record key sequences and assign them to a
user-definable "long" key.
