[Pyobjc-dev] Playing with pyobjc graphics: CycleLab

[Dinu G. <gh...@da...>]

Hi, I'm most impressed how easy it is to do some graphics programming
using PyObjC!

I revisited a former little project of mine, that was first proto-
typed in Python, then written in Obj-C as a screensaver module (it is
still available, but strangely not running anymore on OS X > 10.1).
Now I've backported the crucial bits to Python again (but using na-
tive Cocoa graphics), mostly to see if the graphics is reasonable and
in terms of coding it certainly is. About performance I can't say much
now, though.

Here something for your entertainment, put in a temp. place, unless
you deem it interesting enough to deserve a more prominent home:

   http://python.net/~gherman/tmp/CycleLab.mov  - movie, 1 min, 116 K
   http://python.net/~gherman/#TimeCycler       - screensaver

All this makes me wonder if it would be an all-too-perverted idea
to try writing something like an wxPython interface to Cocoa (using
PyObjC!)?! But I heard rumours, Robin Dunn was already working on
a native port...

Regards,

Dinu
