World: r3wp

Maxim, you ever get some more of those demos worked up for liquid?

although it looks like he hasn't been on for a while

I think you can still get his attention on the maillist

and gmail chat

any results?

Max posted this to the mailing list about a month ago:

Max lives in a world of his own ... and I don't know the address!

hahahahahahahahaha

Has liquid now solidified?

I've been using liquid in a variety of projects for the better part 
of 2 years now... its ubber stable, fast and quite scalable... in 
fact much better than I had anticipated, for such an un optimised 
piece of code.

So, all the critics were wrong?

what critics  heheheh

There were a number ... I can remind you if you like :)

elixir, for example,  easily allocates 10 000 nodes, creates a several 
thousand line AGG script and actually manages to rebuild the whole 
AGG dialect block faster than view can redraw it.

You should be a salesman

elixir builds a 100% native AGG GUI .   EVERYTHING is built using 
liquid, event the field (control) properties and cursor management.

does it do anything useful?

the first real GLASS gui prototype is implemented within elixir... 
the whole field widget is about 30 lines of code IIRC and data is 
bound to input type without any coding needed within the actual widget.

elixir, itself is about 90% done.  file i/o is done, GUI framework 
finiwhed,  CLI 100% operational, all I needed was to finish the data 
query language to be able to create/list/edit/delete stuff in the 
data cloud more easily...

Pity none of us know what you're talkin about!

then, the goal was to build actuall software *within* elixir.

elixir is a next generation Operating system.

all coded using liquid as the kernel.

C##?

C++ or C#?

I havent done the OS level UI, just the work area system... but the 
OS level GUI is a piece of cake.  basically, just an interactive 
browser of your data cloud, using the query language and user d specified 
tags and information classification.

currently 100% rebol  !!!

Huh? You told me you were moving to C++

but I have started to look at C++, because of speed issues.

also will be porting to OpenGL, but the high level coding won't change.

basically I want to use rebol 3 core and wrap it within an OS shell.

do a movie and let us see what you've got ...

You were an animator right??

the actual hardware kernel could be linux, or Qnx (which I prefer, 
but is limited by only supporting ATI gfx cards!)

yes, I worked in the computer generated imagery .

You're only considering QNX because it's based in Canada!

and movie visual effects industry too.

no, cause its the best micro kernel in the world... its simply Amazing!

hehe but it was bought up by a german company

harman kardan i think

I just bought an ATI gfx card .. hopefully I will be able to display 
H.264 streams

the new cards are really sweet.

Local TV company is broadcasting in HD using H.264 and although I 
can record, I can't playback :(

the latest game graphics are simply amazing.  I've seen a real time 
strategy game with hundreds of characters which have reflecting armor... 
I mean the armor is inter-reflecting amongst characters!  this is 
starting to be pretty amazing.

ati always was weird for its drivers...

could also be a damned VISTA issue.

Just a ploy ... to make us upgrade our hardware

anyhow... during the holiday season, I will be putting A LOT of time 
on my coding... so maybe, I'll release some stuff.

No ... don't spoil your record!!

Lol
