Default Re: MOD.MAKING.PROGRAM

May I suggest Tcl/Tk ?
It's cross-platform, it's free, it's simple.

Making a GUI would be a matter of minutes, if one knows what he's doing. If all else fails, there are GUI builders out there. But for 3 buttons and file opening dialogue you won't really need that.

While it's a scripting language, you can actually wrap it into an .exe.

And on 1+GHz machines, it would be really fast enough to crunch some ASCII files...

Here's the GUI for my DOM2 MAP randomizer:
(should run with Linux, but I'm not shure if I got the shell command & pathes right)

code removed, check the next posting

As you can see, really simple all in all ... .
Win32-Wrapped-Version is attached so you can check the "look and feel".

Sorry, the board doesn't seem to like the attachment. But i hope it works ok now...

Mmmh, the *code* command doesn't work out too.. I have attached the .tcl file, which is readable with a simple text editor, to the next posting ..

Forgot to mention: There's a .csv-Package which makes it really easy to handle such files with Tcl. I'm planning on using it with my Map Randomizer. And all those Excel files could be exported to .csv
