Good news everyone! The beta is finally here! I’m now finally at the point where nearly all of the major functionality is in place and works. Over the past few weeks, since my last update, I’ve completed the Editor Service functionality, reworked the QW updater, updated the QW website to support the multiple platforms, added … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 29 – The beta is here!
I’m not sure where time is going… I thought it had only been a week-ish since my last update but WordPress tells me that it is over three weeks! I have done a lot in that time though, so that’s something. Yay? Editors Service “Stuff” Most of the ui components for the Editors Service are … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 28
Good news everyone! I have finally climbed out of the pit of despair that is compiler hell. I’ve probably fixed/corrected 1500 errors over the weeks and I now have a ‘clean’ compile, which means that the bouncer will now let me into the ‘your code will now run’ club and I can get on with … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 27
Send help! I’m currently stuck in compiler hell! My original development plan was to produce the alpha version then move onto the warm-ups viewer then the editor mode stuff then, finally, the language strings editors. However, in a moment of law studies induced delirium (it’s the excuse I’m sticking with), I bypassed the warm-ups viewer … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 26
Hello again! I’m back, again! The second trimester of my law degree is now complete and it is four months until the second year starts. Which means I have quite a lot of time to get v3 finished. I found the second trimester to be pretty stressful and to keep things manageable I only did … Continue reading QWv3 – I’m back…again
The Alpha approaches! I’m finally at a point where I think, soon, I can release the alpha to an unsuspecting world. At the moment I’m, essentially, just bug fixing. There are some major-ish features that need to be fixed but once they are done I can release the alpha. It’s important to note that it … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 25
The switch to using SVG instead of images has taken a while. It’s tedious, detailed work that tends to drain the life out of you, I’ve even had to create some SVGs from scratch since they aren’t from the Iconic base set that QW uses. There are probably still some straggler images I’ve missed but … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 24
This week I’ve been focusing on getting QW to an alpha stage where other people can start to use it and test it out. To that end I’ve been working on the now most requested feature, a dark/night theme/mode. I’ve had to take a broader view with regard to a night mode however, there are … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 23
QWv3 will allow the user to scale the interface by using Ctrl+= and Ctrl+-. Of course, if the interface uses standard image types such as .png files then this won’t scale the images without some kind of intervention (-fx-scale-x, -fx-scale-y manipulation) and if it does scale the images then they are likely to become blurry. … Continue reading Using scalable SVG in JavaFX
Hello, hello, hello! I’m back from my hiatus. First my apologies to everyone who I haven’t contacted recently. I do have a reason. In February I started a law degree and it’s been something of a wild ride. I had two aims going into my studies. First to put as much effort into the course … Continue reading QWv3 – I’m back
