Hi Devels, Well... Just in time for the Lunar eclipse in a couple of days! I wanted post my first Sugar activity port here, it is a conversion/ update from an OS X Cocoa app I wrote some years back. It is a v1 so be kind, but happy to hear any feedback about making this a more productive/educational activity for sharing, or if you spot any faux pas in terms of a Sugar/XO activity.
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Moon This was a learning exercise for me, Python I know, but GTK (and the provided Sugar environment) well that was all new. Embarrassed to say it actually took me a day to get a black background to the Moon widget area (!!) but I picked up a little speed after that, honest :-) Happy Moon/eclipse watching. Regards, Gary C. Martin P.S. "Earth" is my next planned port (from EarthGlobe), though there are a few extra hurdles to resolve for that one (i.e. quick 3d sphere rotation interaction given no OpenGL support). Might have to drop to wireframe during manipulation, or get dirty with a C Python extension. Shout if I missed something obvious here. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
