pbc

Puzzle box client. More...

Detailed Description

This folder contains the source code for the puzzle box client (pbc). This is a desktop application that communicates with the main controller over TCP to send/receive I²C messages. This application is not only used by a game operator to control and monitor the state of a puzzle box, but is also a useful debugging tool when developing puzzle modules, as it allows you to send arbitrary data over the puzzle bus.

Note

The client depends on the GNU readline library, which is not included as a submodule because it is installed on most Linux distributions by default. Please ensure you have the readline development headers installed for your distribution of choice.

Features

• Individually reset puzzle modules
• Individually skip puzzle modules
• Debug: send arbitrary messages

Usage

See command usage

Bugs

• tab completion for the dump command seems to print garbage (sometimes)
