Re: SilviSoft Firedust has been released.

I like the look of these programs on silvasoft... what it the rapid code or whatever its called, how do I use it? I chose squeak and started to type but it didn't sense anything... or do anything.

How do i make a custom program?


If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time  smile

It's complaining about Arial not supporting the style regular.

How does your web browser work? Is it WebKit-based?

Unfortunately, no. I wanted to keep the OS to a single file and therefore could not reference the webkit. I might in future versions  wink

In Squeak, all it does it sense punctuation and ifTrue: ifFalse: statements. a bit boring  tongue
Try console or firescript sensing, that's fully supported  smile

I used VB.NET 4.0 in Visual Studio 2010 Pro.

I have personally written around 20 thousand lines of code!

To be precise, exactly 18725 lines of VB, just for the main program. Then count the lines for the installers, updaters, libraries...

TAKE THAT WINDOZENT!

20,000?! What?!
OH MY GOD THAT'S MAD

It took me a year  tongue  It was really fun though, and useful -- I'm using it on my netbook.

So at the moment it renders it on its own? Impressive.

Re: SilviSoft Firedust has been released.

...maybe if you remove windows explorer from starup and add Firedust u can use it without any interfering with the windows key and stuff like that... and also.... all the images used in Firedust makes it slow...

The images are just a problem with the .NET framework  sad
And yes, it is effectively possible to make Firedust boot with its own shell using Windows embedded  smile

Re: SilviSoft Firedust has been released.

One thing I don't find necessarily is make all the users deleted save... there should be a way to permanently remove them.  smile  (Or is there a way.  tongue )

Re: SilviSoft Firedust has been released.

Using the scroll wheel in the Fireblocks block selection pane (where you drag the blocks out of) throws errors but still scrolls. Also, in windowed mode, the logout, shutdown, etc. buttons are cut off from the slide-out menu thingy.


Yawn.

Re: SilviSoft Firedust has been released.

When I close a window (such as a windows explorer window maybe), sometimes it shows up still in the taskbar in your program (that's how it appeared). Clicking it produces an unhandled exception.

Yes, that feature is partially disabled. It used to refresh occasionally but it took up too much CPU power.

I used the three events MouseDown, MouseMove, and MouseUp.
The mouse down/up events set a global variable called 'dragging' to true/false respecitvely.

Then the mouse move event checks whether 'dragging' is true, and sets the position to the difference between original pos and mouse pos and... but you probably figured that part out.

You're not actually supposed to use firedust in windowed, but I am aware of the problem. The scrolling, however, went better than I thought! When I tested it it didn't scroll at all  tongue  Just make the window bigger so you don't need to scroll.

Re: SilviSoft Firedust has been released.

Oh yeah, and clicking inside a window while another one is focused doesn't focus the window you clicked on. You have to click on the titlebar. Annoying D:
