W toolkit offers the following widgets:

Containers:

  Text input:

• Getstring, with scrolling and cut/paste
• Edittext, with cut/paste and some text formatting

  scrollable lists:

• Listbox, text list with scrollbar
• Select, getstring, arrow and pop-up listbox

  • Shell, The window
    • Pane, vertical
      • Getstring, "Text"
    • Pane, horizontal
      • Pushbutton, "OK"
      • Pushbutton, "Cancel"

Available W toolkit applications

• WetScape, almost HTML v1 conforming WWW-browser with additional JPEG support. Program has a popup for saving documents to a local file. This comes also with a version of the Independent JPEG group's libjpeg source, but for example on linux you most likely already have this. 210K
• Wvt is like WTerm, an enhanced VT52 terminal emulator. In addition this offers also cut/paste and history buffer. 6K

I have myself done several, more entertainment biased applications:

• Networked board games packet includes W and curses interfaces for Gobang, Go, Pente and Othello games, a W interface for Chess and servers for Pente, Go and Othello games. You can play games against a server or another player across the network. 90K
• Wt-ant, an 'ant simulator' with Wt interface.
• WAudio, a (ATM 8-bit, mono) sample editor that on MiNT uses Kay Römer's MiNT audio device and on other platforms /dev/audio for sound output. 12K
• WChat, a program for discussing with others over the network. 7K
• WDraft, a simple drawing program. Currently it's main use is testing out the server graphics functionality :-). 16K
• WEdit, a simple text editor with fixed line lenght (edittext widget limitation). Contains some goodies like copy/paste support, auto-indent, word wrap, paragraph format, search/replace and abbreviation expansion. Buggy. 38K
• WIcone is a slightly enhanced version of the iconeditor example in the toolkit Test/ directory. You could use it to make icons for WStart menus. 3K
• WStart, a program launch menu with nested popups. Corresponding directory is (re-)read when popup is opened, so if you have a slow disk you might be happier with Wlib based Wlaunch. Programs may have icon and option files. 22K

Other projects

I have earlier made a MiNT FLI Player from x86-linux SVGAlib FLI player sources. It doesn't work on x86-linux anymore, so I suspect that I have introduced some bugs to the (v0.3 flip) code, but it seems to works well (haven't got memory protection on with MiNT...). I even added scaling to it which works reasonably fast.

WarZone is a start for a game like DOS Scorched Earth or Amiga Scorched Tanks (or any other of the multitude of games like these, the old Atari Ballerburg was a bit more original though...). Would somebody like to pick up this and continue?

I have also implemented Basic W1R3-pl2 W Library functionality in Python. There's also Python version of my L-system parser which can output the grammar also either into W window or POV scene.
