New features

  • New function save_pocketmod() which is an alternative to save_ruleset()
    that saves the ruleset as a "pocketmod" booklet (#110).

  • New function names_rulesets() lists the games we can generate rulesets for (#144).

  • save_ruleset() / save_rulebook() can now export to non-pdf formats using pandoc (#76).
    We can customize pandoc output using the new cmd_options argument, by default
    we try to pick reasonable defaults based on the file extension and whether its a book or ruleset.
    Quality varies for the various output formats but html, epub, and docx export looked "okay".

  • save_ruleset() / save_pamphlet() / save_pocketmod() support new arguments game_info, game_files,
    and save_promo_fn (#115).
    This allows users to generate rulesets using files not located within the {ppgames} package.

  • save_ruleset() / save_pamphlet() / save_pocketmod() can now embed XMP metadata including
    Creative Commons license info into pdf output (#71).
    Requires suggested package {xmpdf} and the command-line tool exiftool.

  • We now export normalize_name() which normalizes game names into a standard format
    for use in R/LaTeX variable names and for use in filenames.

  • We now export save_promo_image() which saves promo images for games.
    Default argument for the save_promo_fn argument in save_pamphlet() / save_pocketmod().
