Developing Tools - clarification

in Library and Tool Development • 1 year ago

Hi Devs,

I am a level 3 student from University of Moratuwa. I am interested about the Processing project. So I decided to contribute to the community by developing tools. I downloaded and successfully built the toolsTemplate in Eclipse. But I need some clarifications about some "to do" tools.

1. There are two tools called OBJ viewer and button creator. Can anyone explain me what exactly the project expect from those tools.(I assume that OBJ viewer is an Object viewer which displays details of an instance of a class.)

2. Also can anyone explain me what the Graphics tutorial apps are? What the project and users expect from those apps?

Thanks in advance. I'm new to this community.

I think one of you friends beat you to it, have a look at this thread for some ideas.

The ToDo list is a wish list someone put together. I don't think that the user requirements for any of these are clearly defined so it is probably upto you to do that.

(1) Object Viewer
I suspect that the object viewer would be similar to how BlueJ works so you might look at that i.e. a graphical representation of an object showing public methods and fields using Java reflection.

(2) Graphics tutorial apps
I can't be certain but I suggest that it would enable users to learn how to use the transformation commands (translate, rotate and scale + push and pop matrix) effectively in 2D and 3D drawings. Have a look at the questions being asked in the 'Programming Questions' forum to see what sort of problems users are having,
