Hi Nikhil,
There's a tutorial in the Factor UI that describes a typical workflow.
If you hit alt-2 and the cookbook appears, it's called "Your first
program" under "Starting points".
Here's an example.
You might decide to make a physics directory, so you'd first make this file:
extra/physics/physics.factor
(inside extra/physics/physics.factor)
USING: kernel ;
IN: physics
Now if you want a motion library, you might add a file:
extra/physics/motion/motion.factor
USING: kernel ;
IN: physics.motion
Now to load it and have f2 remember it, you do USE: physics in the listener.
You don't have to say it's in "extra/" for the IN: word, like IN:
extra.physics, because extra/, core/, and work/ are vocabulary roots
-- Factor searches these when you USE: a vocabulary. (work/ does not
exist by default) You can add a new vocab root by doing this:
USING: vocabs.loader namespaces sequences ;
"resource:secret-work" vocab-roots get push
"/home/erg/absolute-path" vocab-roots get push
Put this in your .factor-boot-rc so that it gets loaded into your
image on bootstrap. Then you could move your physics vocab to
~/factor/secret-work/physics/ without changing the code. Pathnames
with ~ do not work yet.
If you don't want to wait for f2, you can do "physics" refresh.
Some keyboard shortcuts are described in the docs (f1). The most
helpful are ctrl-shift-e on a word name, which opens the word in your
editor, ctrl-h for help, ctrl-shift-u for all the usages of a word,
ctrl-w to walk through the code, ctrl-t to time your code.
Finally, if you're testing code in the listener, you can 'save' and
have it remember your command history so you don't lose your
interactive testing session if you crash things.
Cheers,
Doug

Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
It's the best place to buy or sell services for
