MAIN

MAIN.py

Back to [Home]

There is a new way to load Apps DYNAMICALLY (from a json file right now.)
Look at the [NEW_MAIN_EXAMPLE] for that.

You can do it the old way, too.

---

All below (even the link at the end) belongs to the old way of doing it.

The main script which you start with python.

Simple example:

If you want a more detailed example, view the [Complex Main Example]

import APP_BASE # this one is mandatory
# ...
# Import your Apps here and register them:
import importedApp
# Do that at the end of your Application File with its file name as name.
# It's just here for reference.
APP_BASE.registerApplication("importedAppName", importedApp.App())
# ...
# Then set the current running application:
APP_BASE.setCurrentApp("importedAppName")`

# And set the underlying ("system") App, which gets  called when you "exit" another app:
# This one can be ommited if you just use one app.
APP_BASE.underlyingApp = "importedAppName"`

# Finally, initialize the system and run it:
APP_BASE.initialize()
running = True
while running:
      running=APP_BASE.update()

APP_BASE.quit()

If you know how MAIN.py works now, learn how to create one of these shiny Apps for yourself with the [APP_TEMPLATE].
