Greetings everybody,
b4 I ask for help, lemme tell u this, this list is ultra-cool, all u guys
are either ^^really nice^^ ppl (the kind who'd help an old lady cross the
road... weather she actually want to or not, well..eh..umm..eh..) or have got
too much time on u r hands :)
No, seriously tho' this list is one o' the most helpful and cordial list I've
joined.
N E Ways, what I want help on, is not a particular problem as such. I'm trying
to get my hands dirty with curses programming under linux using python. I've
never done n e curses/ncurses programming using C. I've read the curses howto
for python and have managed to draw boxes and buttons and stuff on the console.
Problem is since I have never ever created a (G)UI application, I'm at a
loss as to how to go about it...I mean the design part, an' that is y 'm here,
I'd REALLY appreciate it if somebody cud guide me ....an' I'd give my pet frog
to anyone who could lead-me-into/work-with-me to create an' actual curses based
application (that's always been the only way I learn...take up a project, an'
learn whatever is requiem to get it done) (no wonder I learn so less <grin>).
I already have a few small ideas as far as the applications go (didn't
somebody mention a tetris-extension for an editor sometime back ....well I use
vi ....hmmmmmmmmmmm)....so, that's it....if I haven't been clear 'nuff
(my effective communication quotient = -0.5) plz say so.
Thanx everyone
Peace
Steve
