[Gambas-user] Writing a "Choose Your Own Adventure" prototype
I want to make a short adventure game that lets users read text and look at an image that explains where they are in the story, and then lets them make a decision like, 1) get in the car or 2) run and call the police. These choices then branch into other choices, and at many points the player may die or complete the adventure in different ways. I hope that makes sense... What I'm wondering is, what sort of data structures and approaches to this type of software should I use? The last time I did something like this, as a youngster, I used GOTO everywhere. :-) But I've heard there are better ways. Thanks for any tips for a beginner...

[Gambas-user] Can I use the mousewheel to control system audio volume?
I would like to create a program that increments/decrements the system master audio volume if the mouse's mousewheel is scrolled up/down, in combination with a hotkey (like ctrl+shift+mousewheel). Is this possible in Gambas? I see that the mousewheel can be detected, but I don't see anything about up or down. I also see volume-related items in SDL but I'm not sure if this is necessary to use or if there's some better component for the task.

That part works for me. It seems to require the form to have focus, though. Is there a way to make it work globally, regardless of which application has focus? aumix doesn't work for me, unfortunately. Maybe it's because I use pulseaudio? I can execute the command, but the volume doesn't change. Marc -- Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!

[Gambas-user] Making an image button launch an executable?
I'm just starting to learn Gambas and I'd like to know how to make an image-button launch an executable or a Bash script. I'd like to make a grid of buttons that I can customize in this way, each button with its own icon, sort of like how launchers work on the GNOME panel. Is this doable? If so I'd love to hear any advice on how.

[Gambas-user] Save file dialog prepends path to Name field?
I noticed that the typical GTK "save" dialog shows the file name in the "Name" field, but my simple test in Gambas prepends a path, such as "/home/user/," to the file name in that field. Is this correct behavior? It seems like it needs to be "fixed" because no matter which folder icon I click in the Save dialog, the prepended path will overrule it until I type the path in myself. Here's the code I'm working with, from a tutorial: PUBLIC SUB btnSave_Click() Dialog.Filter = ["*.txt", "Text Files"] IF Dialog.SaveFile() THEN RETURN File.Save(Dialog.Path, TextAreaEdit.Text) CATCH Message.Error(Error.Text) END Gambas version 2.0.0, Ubuntu 8.04. -- *Marc Carson* Web Designer, Illustrator Web: friendlyskies.net <http://www.friendlyskies.net/> Email: m...@marccarson.com <mailto:m...@marccarson.com> -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
