Well, after couple of years working with fancy GUI and different teams, also the public #edevelop and this mail list friends, I'm pretty sure adding design/gfx early in the equation makes things much longer than it needs. Surely, there are exceptions, namely you as the experience matters a lot, but most developers tend to end with nothing useful if they try to do both at the same time. NOTE: before starting any development people need to have at least a notion of how things will be structured! I KNOW THAT, but in the wiki pages there are just demos and games that people already know. When I say "tetris", it is a simple tetris as we often see, not some new 3D with videos playing on block's faces, so that part of the design is already done. One can easily go and write the code based on evas-rectangles and later on replace them with images... if instead of using evas_object_rectangle_add() directly, one uses edje_object_file_add() then the change requires no C-code changes at all. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: [email protected] Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
