| 5 | --------------------- |
|---|
| 6 | Java versions of Page 1 (simplest and complete) and Page 7 (most complex and under |
|---|
| 7 | development) of the PNG WCKER flickerbook (that's storyboard for the cineasts amongst us) |
|---|
| 8 | are now under version control on: |

|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | "make page1.run" will compile and run the code to draw Page 1 |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | "make page7.run" will compile and run the code to draw Page 7 |

| 20 | Some prototype code is in here. |

| 23 | |

| 24 | "make" will make the code; "run" will execute the code. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | Beware |
|---|
| 27 | ------ |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | You make have to change some of the scripts to match the environment on your machine. |

| 31 | Conclusion and Next Step |
|---|
| 32 | ------------------------ |

| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | The SWT looks much more promising as a robust GUI for WCKER. There are still a few |
|---|
| 35 | things I've got to persuade it to do ... but I suspect they should be possible. |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | The point of putting things in the repository is so Dave B. can pick these bits |
|---|
| 38 | up and run with them. There are a number of areas where help would be useful and |
|---|
| 39 | welcome and I have communicated these to Dave B. |

|---|
| 45 | It's not that fast a web-site - can you locate me a faster one! :-) |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | Anyhow, I imagine that drawing "Page 7" will take to the end of this week |
|---|
| 48 | (a horizontal slice) and that by the end of next week we should have a |
|---|
| 49 | tall-thin application (vertical slice). It is that presence/absence of this |
|---|
| 50 | "vertical slice" the will convince me whether the project as a whole |
|---|
| 51 | has been sufficiently tightly specified or not! |
