[ruby-fltk-devel] My "real" project

[Kevin S. <kev...@ya...>]

I spent most of today porting my Space Monkeys game from
GTK to FLTK. It has gone really smoothly, and the code is
definitely simpler in FTLK. It's good to see a real
application using our work.

I thought I would need idle or timeouts, but I ended up
changing the structure so I don't need them. The game is
now completely functional, but I don't like the way the
command buttons work, so I'm going to change that.

I can definitely see that I want to add more classes in
fltk.rb:
- RadioButton class, that wraps RoundButton, automatically
sets the button type, and automatically sizes itself
- PushButton class that can automatically size itself
- ComboBox class that combines an editor with a listbox

I'm also really looking forward to the layout management
stuff that will be in FLTK 2. Pack is not very good, and I
hate placing widgets individually.
