New Open Source Clue-Clone

Post by Syath »

Hello all (again)!

I'm beginning to get the GUI and base card system setup for a clue game I am writting in Ruby and GTK+. I have no Windows machines available, so I do not know how to make this work on anything but Linux.

I'd love feedback on what I have done so far =D


I will be using the Wesnoth graphics (with of course a nifty link backa nd an advertisement for the game ;))

If 'ruby-libglade' is installed, it should take care of all dependencies the program will need to run.

I actually just started working with Ruby Glade and Gtk as well. You can see some of my work on the github.

If your using Fixed containers you should probably prevent the window from being re-sized as it tends to make it look ugly. And I would say get rid of the horizontal movable frames as they really have no point.(Your fixed container will make sure that the frame is big enough to display the largest card name. And one more suggestion would be to put fixed1 inside an alignment so you have a nice border on the right side.

Keep up the good work.


--Along the legal end of things if you use Wesnoth images then you need to release your code as GPL or under a Compatible license.

GPL, of course ;)


I will work on the design some more, right now I'm more concerned about the code. I'll be making a blog soon to keep up the development :D
