[Screenfire-development] Some basic notes.

[chris d. <chr...@ho...>]

Hey guys, slow going, but we are going. I have been working on the
TradeWeapon stuff that this will ride upon (Data structures, real time =
data,
historical data storage etc). I have just uploaded a few scratch notes =
to
the CVS of screenfire. You guys might also want to check out tradeweapon
stuff (anonymous will do) so you can see some of the basic structures =
etc.

CVS, your CVS connections should look like this:
=20
ext:you...@cv...:/cvsroot/screenfire
=20
You should be using TortoiseCVS if you are starting out with CVS. =
Basically
put a CVS or CVSROOT directory on your machine somewhere, I personally =
use
c:\cvs\
=20
In Tortoise preferences you can build this by entering your information =
into
the data in the fields when you try to check out:
=20
Choose secure shell (ext), enter cvs.sourceforge.net for server, enter
/cvsroot/openftp as repository directory, enter username, it will prompt =
for
password.
=20
Under that you can put a root directory for each project like:
=20
c:\cvs\screenfire\
=20
Then you can simply right click on your project directory and CVS =
checkout
the whole project. Basically, you edit files, (tortoise turns edited =
files
red) you can commit updates to them by right clicking and choosing =
update.
You can add files by creating them and right clicking and choosing add, =
and
then commit the document the same way.

The few notes files are 1 ChartNotes, basic structures that I am pretty =
sure
we should create. And ChartNodes-Code.txt, is a bunch of decompiled
interfaces from other projects. We should use these for ideas on basic
structures for our project. I have also included a directory of
SimpleExamplesFromPublicSites. These are other peoples very simple =
examples.
Get them and get farmiliar with some very basic drawing stuff that they =
do.
We will be doing a lot of drawing so it is good to get familiar with =
easy
stuff as we go along. I will be continuing to add notes as I have time =
over
the weekend.

Thanks guys,
Chris
