Is this possible? Rather than play a wav I was wondering about generating a beep?

Not sure where to start?

I have no speaker attached, so cannot test it.
Try:

Code: Select all

stdout.printf("\7")
stdout.flush()

This should do the same as typing this in a console:
echo -en "\7"
According to google "beep linux shell", this is the code to generate a beep.

For wav, yes, gstreamer, but it is not in Puppy by default.
You might use one of Puppys tools.

Code: Select all

[indent=4]

def exec(thecmd : string)
    try
        Process.spawn_command_line_async(thecmd)
    except ex : GLib.Error
        print("%s", "exec failed!")

init

  
    exec("wavplay /usr/share/audio/2barks.wav")

//end

works!
many thanks guys

I am trying to put some building blocks together for a project, that I hope to begin this weekend.
(fear not - I will not be doing the coding
- have a real coder for that)

A simple Puppy game.
The next piece of code is to open a 'window'
and draw a circle in it.
Any clues? (remember I am clueless)

PS.
I am using the latest genie text editor compiled by Ttuuxxx to compile and build the code - very nice.

Is NicoEdit heading towards this option to
compile and build code?

for grafics, you might use the Cairo library.

It also is possible using Gtk/Gdk itself, for example the Gtkbasic Analogclock was written like that.

But for Genie/Vala, I actually just know one example, that is based on Cairo.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 901#292901

See the example from Mymas and my reply.

Circle: Instead of
ctx.show_text ('Hello, World')
you could look at the
http://valadoc.org/?pkg=cairo
http://valadoc.org/?pkg=cairo&element=Cairo.Context
http://valadoc.org/?pkg=cairo&element=Cairo.Context.arc

So something like
ctx.arc(100,100, ... )

Is it challenging to compile Vala 0.7.4?

I notice that NicoEdit has that as a requirement but I'm yet to find a .deb distribution of it anywhere.

Version 2 beta 3 !

News:
Search in text is now fully working
Added "signal for search and gotoline, when you type text to search or line to go, just press enter ! "
Added "F11 shortcut for fullscreen/unfullscreen"
Added "Auto-indent, Indent-on-Tab, Indent-Width"
Added "When you click on change font, the font dialog remember the last selection"
Deleted the "big" search box !

Nicolas.

Cool.

Bugs:

Pressing Control-f does not work when in full-screen
Using undo when there is nothing to undo clears the file (or is this a feature?)
The line/column display in the statusbar doesn't update when the cursor is moved around, only when you type something

Suggestions:

Have the find box automatically jump back to the top when the bottom has been reached (maybe make this optional for the people who dislike it)
Add a keyboard shortcut for 'find-next' to be used when the cursor is not in the find-box (like F3 in Firefox or Control-g in Geany)
Close the find-bar if the user presses Esc while the cursor is inside it
Have Control-f put the cursor into the find-bar's box
Add a feature like "softtabs" in Vim, where if you use spaces for tabs and the cursor is at a tabstop, pressing backspace will delete the number of spaces that you use for tabs (assuming there are that many spaces behind it to delete - if there is text in the way, function normally instead). This would probably need to be optional.

Observation for those who don't know this:

When the cursor is inside the find-bar, it can be put back into the main area by pressing the up key

Those are just suggestions. Please don't feel obligated to implement them. I already have Vim and don't intend to use much else anytime soon. I just thought I'd mention some ideas.

Will I have to go all that way and 'Walk like an Egyptian'?

Hey nikobordx

I would like to test your editor

I opened the readme which states

Requires:
Vala-0.7.4
Gtk
Glib
Gtksourceview
Pango
Cairo
Gee

I dont want to mix and match versions #'s
could you list what versions of the above Requires
you are using so I start on the right foot

and if there were links already posted
could someone link me to what's needed
sorry to be coming in late

looking forward to testing

thanks for sharing your work
I like small and powerful apps

Hi Joe,

I'm using:
Gtk 2.16.1
Glib 2.20.1
Gtksourceview2 2.6.2 (but i think a newer version is better for genie syntax hilighting)
Pango 1.24.0
Cairo 1.8.6

Nicolas.

Thanks for clearing the dependencies
posting the correct versions that
you are using
that will save me a lot of time

I'm having trouble compiling Valide 0.5 and NicoEdit.

For both, it gets to this:

Checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.16.0 :
error: the configuration failed (see '/root/my-documents/valide-0.5.0/_build_/config.log')

It's complaining about my version of glib it seems - but I don't know exactly what I need to do to fix it.

I've tried installing libglib libraries etc.. but it must be more than that. Can anyone give me any guidance on how to troubleshoot this and fix it?

Caleb
