The Turing Initiative

Well for buttons and text input were covered by Cervantes' classes. If you could do some work with scrolling that would be just peachy. Smile

What we need is a box that you can just throw stuff in, and scroll bars just happen.

What would be better? Downloading a Page into a file then reading the file over and over. Or just downloading the page right into memory.

Pend's if we ever plan to add in tabs, turing tends to be a memory muncher, what takes 10MB with GIMP can't be done in turing with my HBMC.

Ah, well I didn't know what to do so I'm going to do both. The problem is that with all the GUI components being added in, and the window resizing actually working I need to start refresh the window rather than the initial load. I realize that downloading the page every millisecond isn't realistic. I'm planning to download the page, and store it in memory for now at least. Premature optimization is the root of all evil.

So, Mackie the project that you have assigned me to do is become more familliar with Scrolling, or is it to throw stuff into a certain box?

Mackie · **Posted:** Sat Mar 08, 2008 10:07 pm

No I honestly just need a box I can through stuff in to scroll. Razz

But you don't need to do that. I was just thinking it would be useful. We have many thing that need to be done or finished on Ocean. If you want you could start another project too. I was thinking about getting a little done on Datamaster (Still needs a better name Razz

). It looks like it would be fun.

Check out our Goals for v1.0.0.0 in the Ocean -> Documentation folder of the FTP.

Would an Excel type program, coded in Turing be useful?

Mackie · **Posted:** Thu Mar 13, 2008 8:31 pm

Alright my file browser is in Alpha now. It's just going to be a simple tool to select a file. I actually needed one for Ocean, so i figured meh? I'll go all the way.

By the way, the File Browser is functioning.

EDIT:
We already have a ton of stuff in Turing that can handle raster images. I think It could be fun to make a program that can interprets and edits vectorized images. I was looking at an '.svg' in a text editor. It's human-readable. It makes things just that much easier.

Wow, I let this die much snax?

Okayyy, had a long bout of depression (or something, dont ask cuz I have no clue), and felt like doing nothing for the past month+1/2 or so.

I'll (hopefully) be putting Picoss Alpha V0.1 later tonight. So, uh, I IZ BAK?

Hopefully, my posting and aid will become regular again as well, I fell off of visiting while I was down Very Happy

Well, seems that Mackie is working on Ruby, but with this being revived, you may lure him back.

Mackie · **Posted:** Wed Apr 16, 2008 2:29 pm

Oh well the FTP is up still. I may still do some stuff here. Probably more tools and functions, I seem to enjoy making those better. The webbrowser is... Eeek...

Anyway, since you missed it Stealth, here is a thread with released tools originally intended for Tinit.

Could come in handy.

StealthArcher · **Posted:** Wed Apr 16, 2008 4:27 pm

Most definitely.

Sean · **Posted:** Wed Apr 16, 2008 4:41 pm

Pfft. Mackie, remember to send me the project.

I'll work on it soon enough, most likly tomorrow.
