Status

Although still in the early stages quite a lot is functional, namely

• the GObject inspired object system;
• event handling;
• the base widget class.

With most of the core complete focus has shifted to actually implementing the various widget types.

Todo

• Improve the fitting algorithm for horizontal and vertical boxes (hBox and vBox).
• Sprinkle asserts here, there and everywhere!
• Add support for padding around widgets.
• Clean up widgetHandleEventImpl (Important)
• Find someone to consult on regarding the Lua interface (devurandom?) (In progress).
• const correctness (In progress).
• Define an animation API; (In progress/finalised)
  • may depend on widgets drawing to OpenGL textures
  • should be none of the widgets concern.

Done

• Switch to a compositing system, whereby each widget has its own Cairo context complete with a re-draw system.
• Use OpenGL for hardware accelerated compositing.
• Define a dragging API for widgets such as sliders.
• Add support for bitmap masks for the purposes of mouse-event detection; this will allow for non-rectangular widgets.
• Add a special text event, designed to handle the inputting of text. This is firsty to ensure we are compatible with SDL 1.3 and secondly to make text handling easier.
• Implement timer support.
• Decide how best to do tool-tips.
• Add SVG loading support using libsvg and libsvg-cairo.
