Greetings! First of all let me express my appreciation to the E Devel Team for the wonderful work they have produced. After maybe two years,finally, I have decided to learn Evas/Ecore, improve my C, and use it to fulfill my evil intentions. :))
Having been working on Ming-C/Perl, the dynamic SWF output library, for over a year I gained some (mostly Perl) experience with 2D graphics programming; I like what I have achieved so far, but from a technical point of view(the SWF player,onEnterFrame_do_this design, actionscript ) I hate it more every day. Having said this, here are my may-be-stupid questions, I'm just brainstorming folks! 1. What can you say about SWF? How can you compare it with Evas/Ecore? Is there any similarities? Could they be used together, like say Ecore-SWF? Here is the funny part: How does an Mozilla-Evas plug-in sound? 2. Is anyone using transformation matrices to manipulate Evas objects? Since there is (the idea of) animation in Evas/Ecore, there should be a 2D, or even a simple 3D Engine. Is this a missing feature,or by its nature Evas doesn't need any transformations, users should make up their own... Or am I missing something?? 3. Is there any plans about implementing Cubic Beziers in Evas? 4. Considering we have Beziers, any thoughts on SVG rendering? 5. I'm experimenting Perl-Inline C with Evas/Ecore quite succesfully. For now I'm just trying to make evas-ecore-object usage more Perlish. Nothing fancy yet. The code below is just to illustrate what I have done technically: ## EAuto is a C struct turned to Perl Class. my $ea = $EAuto->new(600,400); my $r = EAuto::Shape->rectangle(200,300); $r->color(0,100,0,255); $ea->addRect($r,30,30,1); $EAuto->createScene(); I see tremendous power with C-Perl-Inline approach, esp in the hands of powerful C programmers. What do you think? Last words... Although in my opinion SWF and its player simply suck, there are many many beautiful and sophisticated designs like Shape Defined MovieClips, Wave Effects,3D Engines,SVG Rendering... It would be nice to apply these ideas with the far superior EFL. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
