v0.02 - Scared of doing GUIs![/highlight]
"Now all I have to do is make a fully working mouse-driven GUI to make it all functional!"
... Uhoh!!
I forgot that I hate doing that stuff!
-=-=-
Between having to handle mouse/touch, coping with pinch scale/rotate, and much more besides, this whole project got a LOT harder yesterday, the more I thought about all the elements I need to add!
My head kinda went "AAARGHH!!!" and gave up, somewhere about 4pm, and didn't bother to touch the code again, since.
So far, you can type words into the text boxes on the right, and they'll show up in the box on the left.
The left-hand colour works, but the right hand "Gradient" box doesn't.
Gradient options need much more GUI. Gradient type and things like that, all need to be accounted for. And then the code to produce the gradients, too!
Shadows/Glows are functional, code-wise, thanks to Javascript's awesome abilities, but .. again.. those need GUI.
Bevels and extruding aren't even started, and I'm really not sure on the best way to handle those other than drawing the text over and over and over again!!
I'm thinking the GUI needs a rethink, though, as there's loads more stuff I need to add, and having it all squished into those little bars isn't quite going to be enough.
*sigh*
So, that's not happening in a day, is it!?
Might have to do a quickly cobbled together game for either Browsercade or Shoebox.
Expect *something* to show up, later.
