The Picky Picky Game prototype stopped working this morning because of a bug in the code that sets up a new panel (and this morning is when the new round begins). I was able to patch the running version from work during lunch, and have now done a proper fix on my development system at home.
I was able to fix it from work because I do all the work on Adrian’s server (the one hosting caption.org) via SSH, and someone at work had kindly downloaded a copy of Simon Tatham’s PuTTY program to our file server. Once I had connected to the server, the problem was easily fixed with a one-line change in vi (my broken script had helpfully produced a standard Python error message with back-trace). This was probably as pleasant a debugging experience as one can expect. Yay, Python.
I have also added code to convert URLs entered as
www.foo.com in to http://www.foo.com/
(without which the links in web pages will not work).
