yes and no. Yes, they are excellent graphically and we could be as good with designers. No, we don't need a previous design... actually we should NOT have one and I explain why: 1. (and ultimate goal) it is a developer exercise, and most important for FUN; 2. the goal is to finish something soon (1-2 coding hours) and not spin around graphics or edc for days -- RGB colored rectangles are more than okay for this phase; 3. the wiki page just list simple stuff that is fixed in graphical concept by design. Although you can do a very nice set of images for tetris, it's still tetris. If you did your objects using edc with simple rectangles, later on you can go and change it to be images, do animations etc... LATER :-) Problem I see at IRC is that lots of developers enter infinite loops while doing their apps due the graphical part. Take ephoto for instance, I recall okra redoing it so many times in order to find a design... at first it is fun, but later it become really frustrating as you end with nothing (or at least nothing compared to the amount of development time you used). Let's do a "code fun" round, then we can go back and think on how to make them beautiful. > I have the first piece of code for you: while learning python-efl I wrote > a clone of "a2z converter" (a units converter for iphone), it's 100 lines > of python code plus the simple edc :) > http://www.westernlabs.com/index.php/applications/a2z-pro/a2z-pro-screen-shots > For the 'day' I stand as candidate for Simon :) There is no need to candidate previously, just think about one (or few) and in that day implement it. Different implementations are more than welcome, and the goal is to have some programming fun ;-) -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: [email protected] Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
