/*
 * emcc.c: the C component of an Emscripten-based web/Javascript front
 * end for Puzzles.
 *
 * The Javascript parts of this system live in emcclib.js and
 * emccpre.js. It also depends on being run in the context of a web
 * page containing an appropriate collection of bits and pieces (a
 * canvas, some buttons and links etc), which is generated for each
 * puzzle by the script html/jspage.pl.
 */

/*
 * Further thoughts on possible enhancements:
 *
 *  - I think it might be feasible to have these JS puzzles permit
 *    loading and saving games in disk files. Saving would be done by
 *    constructing a data: URI encapsulating the save file, and then
 *    telling the browser to visit that URI with the effect that it
 *    would naturally pop up a 'where would you like to save this'
 *    dialog box. Loading, more or less similarly, might be feasible
 *    by using the DOM File API to ask the user to select a file and
 *    permit us to see its contents.
 *
 *  - I should think about whether these webified puzzles can support
 *    touchscreen-based tablet browsers (assuming there are any that
 *    can cope with the reasonably modern JS and run it fast enough to
 *    be worthwhile).
 *
 *  - think about making use of localStorage. It might be useful to
 *    let the user save games into there as an alternative to disk
 *    files - disk files are all very well for getting the save right
 *    out of your browser to (e.g.) email to me as a bug report, but
 *    for just resuming a game you were in the middle of, you'd
 *    probably rather have a nice simple 'quick save' and 'quick load'
 *    button pair. Also, that might be a useful place to store
 *    preferences, if I ever get round to writing a preferences UI.
 *
 *  - some CSS to make the button bar and configuration dialogs a
 *    little less ugly would probably not go amiss.
 *
 *  - this is a downright silly idea, but it does occur to me that if
 *    I were to write a PDF output driver for the Puzzles printing
 *    API, then I might be able to implement a sort of 'printing'
 *    feature in this front end, using data: URIs again. (Ask the user
 *    exactly what they want printed, then construct an appropriate
 *    PDF and embed it in a gigantic data: URI. Then they can print
 *    that using whatever they normally use to print PDFs!)
