Hi,
I am getting ready to start work on the graphical frontend for
FreeCiv. I downloaded your version, but I am using Windows and will be doing the
development on Windows (I boot Linux, BeOS, and MacOS 8 also). (So I can't run
it and see what your GUI looks like.) I am considering whether to do the work on
Tcl/Tk or RapidQ (a RAD BASIC that is free and supports x86 *n*x (it probably
could be compiled on a PPC), Windows, Solaris, and HP/UX). I would like to work
with you on this (specifically the *n*x version and, if I do it in Tcl/Tk, the
code since I'm not the greatest, having learned the language within the past
week!). One of the features that I like about Tcl/Tk is the ability to create a
widget with a name that the programmer doesn't know, that is dependent upon a
config file. This will come in very handy if I implement a graphical frontend
using my idea for compatibility and config files.
If you (or anyone) has any thoughts, please send them
along!
As soon as possible (tomarrow?) I'll send my psuedocode ideas
for how it should be implemented.
