Bmax part 3.2

This entry is about making the main loop to follow the flowchart. The code will be on the main.c file, and it will (most probably) be the last one done in this file. After this, the code will be done particularly to each module, and a few lines in common.c to launch each module.
[Remember that, we are using this flowchart]

We will want to add a confirmation screen, when the user wants to exit. Right now, we have done a dummy function for that.

dummy to know if the user wants to exit

To create the flow in code, we are using a do while loop. The reasons of this are:
 - The app should, at least, show the menu at the begining.
 - We want to show this menu every time the user close any inside module (app).

To control the loop, we will need a variable which changes when the user ask to exit.
Everything else is just directly follow the flowchart.

Note: the chooseLang must be asked before the loop once, if we don't want to ask the user constantly.

main loop in main.c file

With this, it comes the first official release, go to https://homebrew-psvita.blogspot.com/2020/08/main-projects-plan-000.html and check it out.

Bmax part 3.1

In this entry we are making the functions of the main loop.

First, we declare the functions in common.h:

declare new functions in common.h

Now to code the appSelect() function, we are using the same idea of chooseLang() explained here. However, the options offered have changed. Options now:
 - help (default answer in bracket)
 - chooseLang
 - button_dash
 - exit

After doing that, we should check everything is ok, and we don't have made any typo or something. This is made by doing the main just launch it, and printing the answer (launching nothing afterwards).

main.c to check appSelect()

With this assured, we can go to implement selectedApp():

This function is basically a column of ifs with string comparison, where each option launch a function.
It will also receive two arguments, the selected app and the language to use.

selectedApp()

If everything is correct (which it is), now we have our selection menu up and running. We can do a test with:

main.c with code to check our main menu

The only thing left now is to make the loops to keep the game running, until the user wants to exit.

Bmax part 3

Up to now, we have some basic required funtions for the app. It is time to give it another essential feature, we will implement the main flowchart. To do that, we will use the one we did here.

To implement the flowchart, we need to decide a few things:

 - How are we going to get the user input?
   The user will write what he wants to do.

 - Where will the main menu go? after or before chooseLang?
   Better chooseLang right away the app init, and then main menu with option to changeLang again.

 - Which text are going to show on the selections screen?

 - Some flow decissions, that are made on the flowchart, will be explain directly on the code.
   [This should be writen in the draft with the flowchart on more official documents.]



Note 1: To make things easier, the selection menus will only have the default english ime. However we will try to make the sentences short and globally known.

Note 2: After making these selection menus, we can delete previous functions on main, and leave only these two new ones. With this, in theory, we won't have to modify main.c file again.

Note 3: To implement this, we will use one loop in each decission triangle. This will be BMAX's main loop, from there it executes other modules, or it just wait the user input.
