2003-04-22  Alexander Hollinger <alexander.hollinger@gmx.net>
	
	* globas.c: changed version from 0.0.11 to 0.1.1

2003-05-06  Sebastian Gutsfeld  <segoh@gmx.net>

	* aliens.c (aliensMissileMove): added test if there is an alien
	ship left when starting a new missile; this was the bug which is
	responsible for freezing the game when shooting at the last alien

2003-05-05  Sebastian Gutsfeld  <segoh@gmx.net>

	* nInvaders.c (readInput): updated readInput for reading input in
	different states (see status var)

	* nInvaders.c (handleTimer): added code for status GAME_HIGHSCORE
	so a title screen with animation is shown; updated status
	GAME_OVER

	* nInvaders.c (main): updated status initialisation from
	GAME_NEXTLEVEL to GAME_HIGHSCORE

	* view.c: added WINDOW wTitleScreen; added titleScreenInit; added
	titleScreenDisplay; added titleScreenClear; added battleFieldClear

	* view.c (aliensRefresh): formatted some code

	* view.c (ufoRefresh): fixed array length

	* view.c (gameOverDisplay): simpified function

	* view.c (graphicEngineInit): updated with titleScreenInit

	* view.h: sorted function declarations; updated gameOverDisplay,
	titleScreenClear, titleScreenDisplay and battleFieldClear

2003-04-22  Alexander Hollinger <alexander.hollinger@gmx.net>

	* globals.c (doSleep): added again. still needed in 
	  view.c. added "#ifdef win32" instruction again.

2003-04-22  Alexander Hollinger <alexander.hollinger@gmx.net>
	
	* globals.c (doSleep): deleted method. not used any more.

	* globals.c: incremented version number from 0.0.10 to 0.0.11
	
	* globals.c: removed '#ifdef win32' instruction.
	
	* *.c, *.h: added license notice to each file
	
	* renamed ToDo to TODO

2003-04-18  Alexander Hollinger <alexander.hollinger@gmx.net>

	* nInvaders.c (finish): "barely mediocre" and "show promise"
	  both "< 10000". Changed latter to "< 12500"

2003-04-17  Alexander Hollinger <alexander.hollinger@gmx.net>

	* view.c (statusDisplay): modified so that buffer is written
	  to wBattleField. new variable WINDOW* wStatus. added method
	  (statusInit) which does initialisation of WINDOW wStatus.
	  Problem: Alien missiles go right to the bottom of screen, 
	  where status is located and overwritten with missile sprite.
	  Fix: see next point
	  Changed behaviour of display of lives. Now the _remaining_
	  lives are displayed. i.e. at the beginning you will see
	  two little spaceshuttles, because you have two lives left.
	  
	* aliens.c (aliensMissileMove): added some checking, if missile
	  reached bottom where player moves. if so, do not move further
	  and reload missile. this reduces number of missiles which have
	  to be hit-tested each round, yet made it necessary to change
	  the shot-threshold otherwise too many missiles would have been
	  coming down. Not limiting ALIENS_MAX_MISSILES from 50 to 10 is
	  possible, because missiles are reloaded when they reach the 
	  bottom. 10 concurrent missiles should be quite hard to manage..
	  Removed ALIENS_MAX_MISSILES-definition from view.h. Was defined
	  twice, now only in aliens.h.
	  optimized threshold-checking. calculation outside for-
	  instruction, and only comparison within.


2003-04-17  Alexander Hollinger <alexander.hollinger@gmx.net>

	* nInvaders.c (readInput): removed (ch==27) for exit 
          sequence. as dettus pointed out there would be problems
	  on some terminals. pressing some keys too long will send
	  an KEY_ESC and quit the game.

2003-04-17  Alexander Hollinger <alexander.hollinger@gmx.net>

	* nInvaders.c (setUpTimer): changed method to call handleTimer.
	  The call signal(SIG_ALRM, handleTimer) didn't work on irix.
	  There, the timer was only fired once and then the programm
	  exited. Now using call to sigaction() with flag SA_RESTART. 

2003-04-16  Alexander Hollinger <alexander.hollinger@gmx.net>

	* nInvaders.c: added a real-time timer that does 50 fps. if you
	  want it slower toggle the constant FPS. the higher the slower.
	  A timer is created and does all the gaming stuff while key
	  checking is still done in (main). Gamehandling is done by
	  simulating a deterministic finite automaton by setting the 
	  'status'-attribute to e.g. GAME_LOOP, GAME_PAUSED, GAME_EXIT.
	  the following methods were modified/ added:
	  (setUpTimer): creates and initializes timer
	  (handleTimer): this method is called every 1/FPS seconds and 
	                 contains most code from old (main)
	  (readInput): changed so that the 'status'-variable is affected.
	               pressing of 'p' now changes 'status'
	  (main): most code moved to (handleTimer), calls setUpTimer and 
	  	  sets 'status' to GAME_NEXTLEVEL
	  (gameOver): completely moved to handleTimer
	 
	 * view.c (graphicEngineInit): removed 'timeout(0);' no longer 
	   needed as we now hava a timer. another advantage: call to
	   (readInput) in nInvaders.c no longer called permanently. 
	   in (readInput) the getch()-call waits till a key is pressed.
	   doSleep(1) no longer needed in nInvaders.c (readInput).

2003-04-08  Sebastian Gutsfeld  <segoh@gmx.net>

	* ufo.c:replaced 'u' with 'ufo' (see ufo.h) and 'a' with 'aliens'

	* ufo.h: added typedef for Ufo and renamed 'u' into 'ufo',

	* player.c: added typedef for Player and renamed 'p' into 'player',
	replaced 'p' with 'player and 'a' with 'aliens'

	* aliens.c: replaced 'a' with 'aliens' (see aliens.h)

	* aliens.h: added typedef for Aliens and renamed 'a' into 'aliens'

	* globals.c (RELEASE): updated release number
	
2003-04-07  Sebastian Gutsfeld  <segoh@gmx.net>

	* view.c (ufoRefresh): reverted 'frame' assignement

	* nInvaders.c (main): reverted to old ufo speed from revision 1.3

2003-04-06  Alexander Hollinger <alexander.hollinger@gmx.net>
	
	* nInvaders.c (resetPlayer): added a call to playerMisisleClear();
	
	* view.c (aliensRefresh): fully encapsulated. access to aliens-Array
	  by pointer.
	  
	* aliens.c (*HitCheck): moved hit_alien_test and hit_bunker_test to
	  aliens.c and renamed to aliensHitCheck and bunkersHitCheck. Added
	  comments and did improvement of bunkersHitCheck-Algorithm 
	  (shoty < BUNKERY + BUNKERHEIGHT instead of <=).
	  
	* nInvaders.c (finish): moved short version of GPL to globals.c 
	  (showGplShort)
	  
	* view.c (gameOverInit): fixed color code
	
	* player.h: removed lives from structPlayer. This variable belongs
	  more to the gamehandling in nInvaders.c that to the model of the 
	  player in player.c. This is done because of better encapsulation 
	  of player.c.
	
	* player.c (playerReset): added a playerDisplay. Removed playerDisplay
	  from nInvaders.c just before refreshScreen() and added another
	  playerDisplay in the player.c (playerMissileMove) so that the 
	  playerMissileClear does not clear the middle of the player when
	  a new shot is fired.
	  
	* aliens.c (aliensHitCheck): added support for return of alienType so 
	  that different scoring according to type of aliens is possible.
