  • RPG With A GUI Interface Tutorial

    I'm starting up a new tutorial on my web site that shows how to design and code RPG programs with GUI interfaces.



    The tutorial is still in rough shape as I am working out the flow for the tutorial. It will probably take me a few months to get this totally completed. At this point, I have a couple of working examples, such as a disk drive performance chart that utilizes AJAX with the ExtJS chart component.

          If you're looking to use ExtJS, I'd really have to recommend OpenRPGUI. It's 100% open source, and really insulates you from a lot of the unpleasantness of CGI. The tutorial for setting up Apache is definitely really nice to have in your back pocket - it's annoying to have to set it up, and it's really easy to botch the httpd.conf file.

              Nice Michael ! Are there not licencing issues with ExtJS though ? And it is not free ?

              And vitaemachina, what is this 'unpleasantness of CGI' that you speak of ? Personally life has never been so pleasant since I started working with CGIDEV2...

                No, there aren't any licensing issues with ExtJS. It is free and open source. There are some commercial restrictions, but most people in our situations are not in that realm for personal or business use. Mostly they charge for premium support and some other dev kit stuff.
