planes VS command_help

My side project, Planes Android, reached version 0.4.1 Check the Github page of the project: https://github.com/xxxcucus/planes to find out more! I am looking forward to your feedback!

Version 0.4.0 of the board game Planes, a variant of the battleships game, brings the possibility of playing against other human players în the multiplayer module of the Android application and desktop app. The desktop and Android clients are compatible and one can play from the desktop app against an Android client. In order to play the multiplayer version one needs to register a user în the application. The user data that are used are restricted to a minimum: username and password.     To unlock the multiplayer version one must go to the Settings screen and set the option 'Multiplayer version' to 'Yes' In order to play against another player create a game then send the game name to the opponent. Following the opponent connecting to the game you can then edit your board and start guessing enemy planes positions. The technologies used for the calls to the server are the Retrofit library for Android and Qt (QNetworkRequest, QNetworkReply) for the desktop application. In the Github repository there were uploaded versions for Android, Linux, Windows (including Windows 11). The Windows 11 version was created using Qt 6.3. To get the Android app visit https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.planes.android&hl=ro&gl=US To visit the Github repository go to https://github.com/xxxcucus/planes

Version 0.3.15 of the Planes App is now available at https://github.com/xxxcucus/planes Please let me know what you think!

I programmed a variant of the Battleships game. https://github.com/xxxcucus/planes

I use a lot of CLI tools, but haven't written many for myself. Mostly, aliases/functions and some scripts in Bash/Python.

Extract details for command options from man/help: https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help/blob/master/c...

cut-like syntax for field manipulations with regexp, negative indexing, etc: https://github.com/learnbyexample/regexp-cut/blob/main/rcut

simple calculator using python syntax: https://learnbyexample.github.io/practice_python_projects/ca...

I wrote a Linux CLI tool [0] that parses the man/help pages to extract option details. Works most of the time for me, but there are plenty of corner cases that don't work.

https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help to extract help text from builtin commands and man pages, ex:

https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help is big enough to warrant a repo, examples, limitations, etc. I had a list of todo items to improve the script, but after years of usage, I'm fine with the limitations since I rarely encounter them. This helps me to extract documentation of particular options, here's an example:

I wrote one a few years back (https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help). It has a few corner case issues, but works most of the time for me and supports multiple options to be retrieved.

I particularly wanted to lookup documentation for command options from my terminal (instead of the website), so wrote a script for it: https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help ... Have a long pending todo list, but despite the issues, the tool is good enough for my needs.

When I start a project, I usually try to write the programs incrementally. Say I need to iterate over files from a directory. I will make sure that portion is working (usually with print() statements), then add another feature — say file reading and test that and so on. This reduces the burden of testing a large program at once at the end. And depending upon the nature of the program, I'll add a few sanity tests at the end. For example, for my command_help project, I copy pasted a few test runs of the program with different options and arguments into a separate file and wrote a program to perform these tests programmatically whenever the source code is modified.
