American Sign Language Learning Aid / News: Recent posts

This release breaks ASLLA into two programs:
1. Dictionary
2. Fingerspeller: program designed to help beginners learn how to fingerspell
Also:
updated the gui layout for the dictionary program

Features a new GUI system. So is hopefully better looking as well as more usable.

Ok I have finally added multiple picture format capability. ASLLA can now load jpgs,gifs,pngs and a few others.

I have also started a separate data release:
this contains all the files in my database as of that data release.

added 'F1' to dump screen
added SDL_Delay to gui so it doesn't eat so much CPU

This was probably the most difficult part of the project. Now I need to get content. Content is:
a bunch of pictures of ASL in slow motion at 100x100 pixels a picture
along with description of the word (idiom, loan-sign, baby-sign, foreign sign ...etc...)

I am officially looking for contributors now. Please try.

Ok the 0.1 version is almost ready, I have re-written the entire backend. Although there is no gui at the moment, I will be uploading soon. Oh, and I found an article on building a compiler toolchain, so cross-compiling is on it's way. (http://www.linux-mag.com/2002-02/compile_01.html)
What does all this computer stuff mean?
Hopefully:
support for other visual languages. (aka other nationalities-SL's, signwriting)
making windows binaries will be easier.
adding other visual languages will be easier.
all modifications are done by external files without recompiling.
nicer GUI!!! (I am planning on paragui, if anyone has any other suggestions let me know.
http://paragui.org

ok this version still has the windows binary
I added moving j and z.
I need help cross compiling if any knows
specifically: adding SDL_image to the project. w/o copying all the files in like GUIlib

I guess next step:
redesign the core to allow for words
or
switch to paragui or some other nicer gui lib.

Looking for anyone interested in this project.
