CRAN - Githubissues

MarcinKosinski commented 10 years ago

The package is ALMOST finished, so mb we really should think about sending it to CRAN, cause it would be a waste of your time and work if we don't

What (only) else is to be done:

expand and extend the vignette - I can take care of it and of it's linguistic correctness
cr8ing a function that gives info about current Turtle situation
preparing better package website
mb function hide() can hide whole Turtle in 1 step instead of removing 5 layers 1 by 1 ?
some1 should conduct a CRAN-check \ some corrections in manuals need to be done
my move_forward function ought to be modified a little because of some secret bug
mb we should prepare a demo of our package in case command

demo(TurboTurtle)

could present the potential and capabilities of this package

If i missed something, please do not hesitate to write about it

gagolews commented 10 years ago

agreed. We'll discuss it on Monday. Maybe some guys/girls from the other groups will also contribute to this package.

cenka commented 10 years ago

I can take care of hide() and ahow() function -- so that there will be unique show and hide (without show_turtle, hide_turtle functions) and the function that gives info about current Turtle position. I can also conduct CRAN check, when pkg will be ready.

andromeda14 commented 10 years ago

I can take care of the demo. I think it should be done when all the functions are ready, so they can be used. Maybe a few (just a few) words about it should be added to vignette - I can add it afterwards.

cenka commented 10 years ago

Basia and me can also take care of Turtle website, since it will be hosted on rexamine.

MarcinKosinski commented 10 years ago

Sounds good to me. Meanwhile, Have a good weekend.

gagolews commented 10 years ago

Good, I'm glad you're still interested in this project.

cenka commented 10 years ago

OK, one more thing that needs to be done: we need to allow user to check and change x and y axis range. I can do this, since it should be done in init_turtle and this is my function.

Moreover, we should discuss the functions names.

MarcinKosinski commented 10 years ago

We ought to activate people from other group - theres a lot to do

MarcinKosinski commented 10 years ago

Anna, your idea of changing axes makes me change conditions in

move_forward()

cenka commented 10 years ago

Marcin, I am aware of that. Do you think it would be a quick fix or rather difficult one? I think we have two options:

state in documentation the range on x and y axis
let user also to be able to change it if she/he wants What do you think?

MarcinKosinski commented 10 years ago

It's rather code'able. A few changes only are needed. But it looks like I'll Have to rewrite that function anyway :)

potockan commented 10 years ago

I can take care of the vignette but I can see that Marcin wanted to...? And I can't find it in the repo ;)

cenka commented 10 years ago

If i remember clearly, we remove TurboTurtle-vignettes.Rnw file during the lab, when we try to fix our installation problems. I do not have this file on my disk. Maybe Basia or Marcin ?

cenka commented 10 years ago

I add some stuff to turtlegraphics.rexamine.com. The text and pictures are from vignette. Any comments and suggestions are more than welcome. When the vignette will be finished I will add the link to documentation section.

potockan commented 10 years ago

If no one has any comments to the vignette then it's finished.

The website looks good in my opinion. But as I can see there are also descriptions on the main site http://www.rexamine.com/resources/ and for the TurtleGraphics it is missing.

gagolews commented 10 years ago

what a really, really nice webpage it is!

potockan commented 10 years ago

:+1:

cenka commented 10 years ago

@potockan thanks, I will add necessary information

potockan commented 10 years ago

Hey I have 2 reservations about our package on CRAN:

1. The webpage adress on CRAN is incorrect - it should be http://www.rexamine.com/resources/turtlegraphics/ and on CRAN there is http://TurboTurtle.rexamine.com
2. The Turtle in the vignette has terrible image! It looks as a fish in my opinion

gagolews commented 10 years ago

Ad 1. Good point, it should be http://TurtleGraphics.rexamine.com. Please update the DESCRIPTION file so that the new CRAN release will have an update entry. Meanwhile, I've added a redirection from TurboTurtle.rexamine.com to TurtleGraphics.rexamine.com so that the link will work properly.

Ad 2. Indeed, an image with greater print resolution (perhaps a vector graphic) should be included. If you'll find something interesting on the internet, please update it.

potockan commented 10 years ago

Ad. 1. Should I also re-number the version of the package? Should I send it on CRAN or I can count on you? ;)

Yes, update the version number, e.g. to 1.0-4 (Let's leave 2.0 for the next major release).

Unfortunately, we have to wait for 1+ months with the next submission (see CRAN Policies).

Anyway let's concentrate now on writing a blog posts, polishing the vignette and finding new bugs :)

potockan commented 10 years ago

Okay :) Writing the blog: I'll try to think up sth during the weekend.

MarcinKosinski commented 10 years ago

The Turtle shown in online vignette looks normally at mine computational beast.
