Quick question... can bloopsaphone output a file with the tune? Like a  
wav or some such thing? Or is the data available in some way that  
would allow it to be written out as a pcm file without too much  
trouble? If so, awesome!

Cool!
And snapshot function, too? ;-)
I'm really curious about Shoes 3.

Just a little helpful plumbing is all. A script for generating a
basic template. And maybe a nicer API so that the extensions will
continue to work even if Shoes' structures change in the future.

Definitely, it's already so in the master branch.

That would be great.

On a related matter

If there was a a "dev mode" or something where shoes would reload the code
you are working on when you press a key combination or a button it would
make developing on shoes a lot more fun.

Thanks in advance.

I would have thought the rubygems support and native extensions  
support already included in shoes would have been sufficient. What  
else is needed? Will the next shoes ship with bloopsaphone? It would  
be very nifty if it did. :)


Good luck with the bug fixings and the Hackety Hacking. I'm sure we're  
all looking forward to having a go with the new shoesian hackety  
hack. :)

Okay, thanks for sitting tight everybody. I'm back from ART & CODE
and, while I'm still working on Hackety Hack, I hope to return to
working on Shoes 3 in a week or so.

The idea is to put it out in a few weeks. The biggest part is that
we'll be moving to Ruby 1.9, VLC 1.9, and newer versions of Cairo
and Pango. Also, all of Tim Elliott's great work on Windows will be
merged. I've got some Vista fixes to work out as well.

The release after this one will focus on speed. Basically making the
retained graphics operate on an immediate surface. (A surface
living in its own thread.)
