[Server-devel] [Sugar-devel] Memorize Game sharing a Created game

[David Leeming]

I was surprised too but yes, that process is fine with 0.82.1 (at least from
the few user-created games we tried) - very responsive too. Good. The answer
to this is in Gary's comments on ticket 2115

Hi David,

 

Stick with v34, others (I went back as far as v32) behave the same. It's not
pretty but I've posted a workaround for sharing custom games on the ticket:

Can't believe we/I have not hit this bug before!

Thanks, it is version 33 that was shipped, if you read the wiki carefully.
We will try downgrading. This brings up a related matter, when using a slow
Internet connection (possibly latency is an issue too) the download
frequently fails before it is complete, and there is no way of knowing
precisely unless it is a grossly reduced download,. Without testing. I am
struggling to download Memorize 33 from the OLPC wiki, at my present
location in central PNG, using mobile broadband. But we'll revert back with
our findings.

I can definitely say that we have this issue! It is something that I have

done with intermittent success before but in our current workshop we

simply

cannot make it work.


Walter has updated the ticket http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2115 saying
that Memorize 34 does not work on build 8.2.1 because that build is too
old. You'll have to install an older version of Memorize.

The version of Memorize shipped with build 8.2.1 works, but I don't know
what version that is.




We did everything we could think of, restarting, etc etc.


Unfortunately, Memorize encountered an unexpected exception but didn't
tell you.




Can you please give me the step by step method you used to (a) create and

share a game and (b) to load the attached game and then share it, using a

server or simple mesh (if it makes any difference) then we will attempt to

reproduce.


I don't have an XO with me so I can't install 8.2.1 and see which version
it ships with, but from memory we:

Flashed two XO-1.0 with build 8.2.1.
Started Memorize on one XO
Loaded a game
Set sharing to Neighbourhood
Found the Memorize in the Neighbourhood on the other XO
Joined Memorize with right-click

We then installed Memorize 34 and sharing no longer worked.




Also, can you let me know if the saved game should be loadable from the

Journal or has to be loaded from a started game.


Sorry, I don't know.
