Here are some pictures of the samples shipped with PythonCard as they appear on a machine running Windows.
As this is currently a proof of concept even the documentation isn't very sophisticated.
This page contains twelve screenshots that have been shrunk from the original.
Click on any of the pictures to see a full size version.
You can find more screen shots on the next page.
To download the framework and these applications go to the downloads section of the project site on Sourceforge
The application when we have performed a search
The 'Browse for Folder' dialogue appears when you press the 'Add Dirs' button
This is about as basic as you can make your application.
For those of us who like to 're-use' code this is a good base to build on.
Add items one by one to this minimal PythonCard app to make it easier to understand what is going on.
This application implements the proof of concept statement of requirements as specified here.
It is pretty basic but it does show all of the different widget types you can use.
This example also demonstrates the use of an image as a canvas background.
This sample demonstrates just how easy it is to develop quite useful applications using the PythonCard framework.
To use this application, just enter a search string in the first text item, select where you would like to perform the search from the 'Sites' list and then press the 'Search' button.
As you perform searches they are saved in the 'Past Searches' list, a bit like web page URLs in your browser.
To re-run a search select it from the list and press the 'Search' button.
Another really simple but powerful application is this example which will play a sound file.
This application showcases all of the different dialogs that you can invoke easily and simply in PythonCard.
When you press the 'Color' button the standard color dialog pops up.
You can use this in your applications to enable users to customise the look and feel of the applications you develop - surprisingly enough.
The 'Text Entry' button pops up a dialog which allows you to enter text in a seperate window.
I will leave you to decide when and where this will be useful.
When I was young we used to call this game noughts and crosses.
Some of you may know it as Tic Tac Toe.
The best way to see what this sample application does is to run it.
If anyone would like to write a more advanced algorithm for the computer player then please go ahead.
When you have finished you can post it to the mailing list.
This sample application is designed to demonstrate some of the events that are associated with particular widgets.
The buttons and check boxes on the right hand side of the screen are active and have code associated with them.
Again, the best way to find out what the various controls do is to try them out.
Last, but certainly not least, is the world clock.
A rather natty application that shows you where in the world currently has daylight and where is dark.
You will need to be connected to the internet for this to function properly as the different map images are downloaded from http://www.time.gov/
Can you tell when this screen shot was taken?
