Portable Window Library
Jiri's tools reminded me of a project that I was working on a couple months
back - a portable window library. It's a very low level library, along the
lines of what's provided by Euphoria's DOS toolkit.
The Win32 version of the library is fairly complete, and a working X Window
prototype exists (it can create windows and draw lines). A DOS version was
planned, but I hadn't gotten around to coding it.
The library consists of about 30 difference routines to create and destroy
windows and render graphics and text. It also traps mouse, keyboard and
window events. There's a canvas-like structure, so double buffered graphics
is also supported.
Since the goal was to create a small library, I've tried to keep the feature
set at a usable minimum. I've also modeled the routines after low-level
calls available in the Win32 and X Window library, so there's not a lot of
fancy code.
Is there any interest in seeing this library completed? If so, I'll post the
code on my web page, along with an overview and some demos, so I can get
some feedback on it. If anyone wants to help complete it (or take the
project over), that would be appreciated as well.
Thanks!
