[Gambas-devel] component API and miscellany

[Christopher Brian Jack]

Is there a stub component available for doing the typical "Hello World!"
application as a component (in other words to make sure it is properly
talking to the Gambas executive and other administrivia required on the
part of Gambas component).

It's been mentioned people want to do games in Gambas and I have the same
intention (in fact the project I am working on on the source side of the
coin is indeed a game project and I want to have things like AI and all
that stuff, and am looking highly into streaming video and all the like).

A library knowns as Hermes will assist in pixel format changing (RGB(a) to
YUVxy etc) which is good because the Vidix support requires YUVxy input.
As far as I know Vidix works by having the client make a window blue
(0x0000ff) then telling the driver that the blue area is the target for
the video stream.  I know when I've dragged around a Vidix window around
in MPlayer very quickly that I often see a blue rectanlge playing catchup
with the window so obviously some sort of color keying is going on with
the operation of Vidix.

Other tools like libMPEG can provide the necessary video signal for the
Vidix layer.

Has anyone else given these issues consideration.
