Available W clients

With the latest W sources you'll get W server, library and it's documentation, several fonts and the following programs:

Available W toolkit widgets

Kay Römer has programmed W toolkit (hence referred as Wt) which contains widgets with which more complex programs can be done. W toolkit works also on top of my W2X library.

W toolkit offers the following widgets:

A typical widget hierarchy would be something like this:

Available W toolkit applications

Kay Römer's has done some 'must have' applications:

I have myself done several, more entertainment biased applications:


Other projects

W2X library implements W library/server functionality on top of X11 library and server. It's complete enough so that you can compile and use all the W library and toolkit programs (except wsaver and wgone for which you should use your X counterparts). It implements only monochrome W server function / functionality. You should unpack the tar-ball to W directory so that symlinks into W library sources will get right.

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.


Notes

I cannot guarantee that all my programs work on any given W window system. W has changed a lot with every new release. For example the new w1r4 has incomplatible (to eaerlier versions) font loading routines.


Other programs of interest with W and non-GEM MiNT usage in general are Jürgen Lock's virtual consoles and Johan Klockars' MGIF. Linux has builtin virtual consoles and for image manipulation I recommend Gimp.
