Ready for coding

codive will be a filebrowser that displays the folder tree and the files inside the current folder, pretty much like your normal filebrowser.

Unlike filebrowers embedded in GUIs like KDE or microsofts or apples GUIs, codive will display everything in 3D, including the most important thing: source files.

What might at first sound very silly could also be regarded as the "matrix-intro" brought to a real programmer's desktop, only that you don't see strange gibberish but real code.

Your code!

In order to render the 3D environment, codive was originally supposed to use the g3d framework, however that plan has been dropped.

codive will be implemented with the OpenInventor API or rather the Coin3D API. This has several reasons, most notably the ability of Coin3D to render text as stroked lines instead of bitmaps.

SInce all design decisions have been made, coding will now begin, and the first prototype should be available in a couple of months, I hope.
