Ok, thanks.
But does this mean the final user need to install something else (GTK lib) or any other dependencies?

In any case a ‘universal’ GUI is impossible: it should be usable on mobile devices (phone and tablet), web, smart-tv, desktop. Too much confusion.
I think it’s better having different (and with high performance) solutions for any single target/UX.

Ok, message clear. MONKEY 2 is the name – and you consider it as a ‘sequel’ of Monkey.
But even translated in italian the word ‘monkey’ has no so many positive sense… it’s just an animal, quite messy etc. I’m trying to find a ‘good sense’ of this word, but still I’ve found any.
Surely the ‘name’ it’s not the first thing you look in the case of a programming language, but in any case has a potential for the diffusion/hype (just compare the name DBase2 and Oracle – nomen omen!)
In any case it’s problably ‘late’ and after so many years since the launch of Monkey it’s a loss of time.

I really, really want to move forward, not backwards here, ie: to start attracting coders outside the blitz-bubble

Have you some ideas on this?

[degacParticipant]

Well, Mark changed the name in the past so the confusion is ‘normal’ at this point.

Monkey
Monkey X (MX1)
Monkey X 2 (MX2)

Calling Monkey2 it’s a non-sense
(I translate MX2 in ‘Mark eXperiment 2’ …)

Just an idea
Could be possible to create a sort of ‘import-alias’ pre-defined/programmed (by user or not)?
Something like

Monkey

Import <std> Using std.default

1 2	Import <std> Using std.default

where

std.default should be something like

Monkey

std.default=std.code,std.defined

1	std.default=std.code,std.defined

It should up to the compiler to ‘translate’ the std.default in the ‘proper’ Using std.X etc
So basically, if we are programming a game and we need gfx/sound/lan etc it could be exist a ‘preset’ std.game to use instead of write 10 different instructions.
Of course this should be *another* option, not a substitution of the actual solution implemented.

Hi
it seems that the .zip file is corrupted. Tried to download twice, same result: can’t decompress it.

[degacParticipant]

I’m not at the computer, but it should be something like

FILTER=”Image:jpg,png,tga”

[degacParticipant]

Hi
not at the computer atm, but it seems that ‘progress’ is not attached to ContentView, so nothing it’s shown.

[degacParticipant]

BTW, just compiled your TED2Go… nice implementation of autocomplete! Very handy (and fast compiling!)

More to learn (for me!)

[degacParticipant]

Ok thanks

a little more clear!

[degacParticipant]

Wow, so many things in so few time!
I’m still trying to understand MX2 !!!

Just a quick question

Monkey

App.KeyEventFilter += Lambda(event:KeyEvent)

1	App.KeyEventFilter += Lambda(event:KeyEvent)

What does exactly mean += in this case?
It means ‘Add a NEW event filter to (list/stack/map) etc? And of course ‘attach’ the code in the labmda() section.’

I saw the same syntax in the module source, but it’s no so clear (to me).

[degacParticipant]

Thanks, but I’ve already did this using the overriding (r g b as Int instead of Float).
But of course at every new revision I need to put my changes.

[degacParticipant]

Note: (mainly to Mark…)

Every single graphics programs I ever used or seen and all tutorials/demo/what else about colors found – use the 0..255 range, never seen 0..1.
This means that if I would to use/create etc in MX2 a color I like (http://cloford.com/resources/colours/500col.htm) I need to ‘manually’ convert (or write a function to do it) in the internal notation.
Not handy.
So, it would be nice if you can handle HEX input or RGB (0..255) in the TED2 Color Palette Document.

[degacParticipant]

One question.

I’m still learning mojo/mojox & co… and I would like to add some changes to TED2. Some of these changes are already implemented in my own MaxIDE version. (I’m a lazy person, I find quite tedious typing too much !)

I’d like (and I think others) to do something like this

Monkey

Local a,b,c>>Int

1	Local a,b,c>>Int

to have a sort of ‘automatic conversion’ to obtain this

Monkey

Local a:Int,b:Int,c:Int

1	Local a:Int,b:Int,c:Int

The next move should be the use of the old symbol syntax ($,#,% etc) – to handy sorry!

But (of course there’s always a but …) I’m asking where is the ‘correct place/way’ to insert this checking/altering thing in the current TED2 structure (due to the latest changes with ‘plugin’ support I’m a little lost to be honest!)

I’m still trying to understand how TextView is working – a change on a line is working without problems, but with more lines I get strange results!

Thanks

[degacParticipant]

OK, thanks

OK, after trying & searching I need help.

How we can ‘resize’ an array?

Monkey

Namespace myapp #Import "<std>" Using std.. Function Main() Local nn:Float[] Print "GetSize: "+nn.GetSize(0) 'there's nothing! OK Print "Length : "+nn.Length nn=nn.Slice(0,10) 'should 'resize' to 10 items??? ' nn[0]=1.0 'of course, array out of index... Print "GetSize: "+nn.GetSize(0) 'same, 0 Print "Length : "+nn.Length End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

Namespace myapp   #Import "<std>"   Using std..   Function Main()   Local nn:Float[] Print "GetSize: "+nn.GetSize(0) 'there's nothing! OK Print "Length : "+nn.Length nn=nn.Slice(0,10) 'should 'resize' to 10 items??? ' nn[0]=1.0 'of course, array out of index... Print "GetSize: "+nn.GetSize(0) 'same, 0 Print "Length : "+nn.Length End
