General Purpose GUI

Published on: August 7, 2011

I had seen two different GUI systems implemented in Monkey and several in BlitzMax. As impressive as some in BlitzMax were, they weren’t always easy. And as far as Monkey goes, the only one that has provided source code is not ready. So I opted out of all of them to just create my own general purpose GUI. Then create the classes to parse it. When finished, it should have the ability to be parsed in any language of choice.

To show a preview (and show off my photoshop and programming skills)

Edit 8/9/2011: I’ve not come up with an easy to parse language yet. I was thinking XML, but I’ll really need to figure out a proper way to structure it. For now it’s looking like the .NET way of GUI handling.

  • The template is broken… by Goodlookinguy

    Edit: It’s fixed! I’m still going to go ahead and replace WordPress though. I’m not really sure what caused the template to suddenly break, but I’m just going to go ahead of remove WordPress. My ADD is telling me that I’ve procrastinated long enough.

  • So I’m testing streaming by Goodlookinguy

    I’m testing out streaming my computer while I’m working. The lag from my computer to Justin.tv is about a second and a half at 1680×1050 resolution.

    So the new site is on the way, but, it won’t be changed until this game that’s being worked on is semi-completed. The aim for the new site design is to simplify the layout, while making it more accessible and more like what you’d expect from a game making team. [...]

  • Quad Trees! by Goodlookinguy

    I’m surprised that I’ve just learned of these. Regardless, I had fun making a quick example of them. http://skyknitters.com/gdemos/quad_trees/ I’m sure there’s going to be one or more people coming in wondering if I’m going to go deeper into explaining what I did. I’m not. Quad trees are fairly simple. [...]
