Hi
I decided throwing a GUI on Perl would be fun so I want to make a Connect Four.
Which GUI module would you advise? It seems the major contenders are
GTK, GTK2/GTK+ and Tk.
Tk seems to have the simplest interface which is nice, but it sure
doesn't look as pretty as GTK.
I took a peek at the GTK+ docs and, using a C-like API, it looks
pretty cumbersome.
I would appreciate if you could share your thought and/or views on the topic.
Thanks!
I agree with Daniel Kasak, Gtk2 is the way to go.
I started with Tk, and still love it, but times have changed, and the
Gtk2 system is far superior to Tk, is a bit harder to learn, but well
worth it. So if you had to pick one......Gtk2 will give you the best
future.
By the way, on linux machines,(and probably on win32), Wx will use
the Gtk2 libs(if found, otherwise it uses XLib or something), and will
just put their object-oriented layer on top of it.
So why not just go with Gtk2?
One reason is I don't need X11 to use Tk. On OSX, I have to have X11
running which I never do nor will do. Wx doesn't have that limitation
and neither does Tk.
