doug livesey — 2009-08-17T15:08:41

Hi -- is anyone doing BDD with shoes?Is it easy?
Does it (please, please, please) involve Cucumber and RSpec?
Can anyone send me any pointers?
Thanks, I'll stop asking questions like a 5yr old, now.

Transforming Ruby/Shoes app into a Windows binary?

Manuel Souto Pico — 2009-08-11T10:28:00

Hello!!

I'm thinking about using Ruby/Shoes (everything other than Shoes.app is 
Ruby, right?) to develop a GUI that takes input from user and interacts 
with another program's API to create some files according to the user's 
selected options (yes/no, list items, some paths to files... 
edit_lines?, etc.). It seems Shoes could do the job. However, before 
starting I need to know whether it's possible to convert the final 
program to a executable file (program.exe) that I can distribute to 
Windows users for them to run it clicking on it without the need to have 
Ruby or Shoes installed. How can I do that? How easy is it? How well 
does it work?

I hope you can answer this basic question. Thanks a lot and keep it cool.

Cheers,

resetting timers

Seth Thomas Rasmussen — 2009-08-09T16:34:52

I have a little image slideshow app where it cycles through images,
showing one every few seconds. I allow for skipping forward or back by
pressing arrow keys and such. When one skips ahead, I want the timer
to reset, so that if you switch from an image near the end of its
cycle, the next image is not immediately switched.

Here is how I am doing this now:'

def reset_timer
    < at >timer.stop if < at >timer
    < at >timer = every 6 do
      < at >i += 1
      if < at >i > < at >images.size
        reload_images
        < at >i = 0
      end
      show_image(< at >i)
    end
  end

This is a little awkward, but straightforward enough. You have to stop
the timer before assigning a new one, because apparently all timers
ever created stay around doing their timer thing even they are not
assigned to a variable.

I am wondering: is that behavior normal? Or would it be useful to have
some better timer behavior. e.g. Timer#reset that would handle what I
want without creating new objects. I have a feeling I could hack out
Timer#reset, and it seems like

stacks + widgets

Juan Andrés Gebhard — 2009-08-06T16:38:48

Hi everyone! I'm trying to make a chess game. To draw the board, I thought
of placing 8 flows, and 8 stack inside of each flow. And finally, each stack
would have a PNG image inside.
Instead of simple stacks, i decided to create a widget, so that it would be
easier to change the image inside of it (that happens whenever a player
makes a move).
The problem with the widget is that i can't put one next to each other. They
insist on putting themselves below the previous one, which isn't the case
with simple stacks.

class Casillero < Widget
    attr_accessor :img, :back, :color
    def initialize opts = {}
        < at >stack = stack :width =>100, :height=>100
        < at >back = < at >stack.background(*opts[:color]) if opts[:color]
    end
end

Shoes.app{
    flow :width => 900 do
        8.times do |i|
            < at >c = casillero :color => black if i%2==0
            < at >c = casillero :color => white if i%2!=0
        end
    end
}
