I searched the list, but didn’t find anyone having trouble with “release”. For some reason my emails to the list don’t seem to arrive, so could you maybe mail about this?

Hey, cool, thanks. Nice solution. I wonder if _why knows about these inconsistencies in platforms?

Hey, I added a version that uses clicking again instead of releasing for dragging the vertices—this works for me on Linux (and it uses mouse button 3 instead of 2 as well).

Nope, apparently release doesn’t work at all. A simple app like:

Shoes.app do click { debug “click” } release { debug “release” } end

shows debug messages for “click”, but nothing for “release”.

Thanks.

I haven’t looked at Shoes’s code, but just playing around, yeah, 2 is the right button and 3 is the middle button here. It would be simple to correct for this in Linus.

Is release another difference between platforms? Do any calls to release work for you?

Eeh, cool! Or at least, the examples are cool ;-)

For the rest, mouse button 2 is the middle button on Linux instead of the right button (which is 3), maybe it is a Shoes bug that this is not consistent? What number is the middle mouse button on Windows?

But the most irritating thing is that “release” doesn’t work for me (or at least, it never gets called) so dragging kind of doesn’t work—this is with 0.r811.

Sorry about the XDock—that’s the option on OSX to show the Ruby-Processing icon in the dock, instead of just the default application one.

I removed the Xdock options and although the error is eliminated the applet still doesnt load…i get a huge list of possible uses of java command..and a link to sun’s offcial help docs…am i missing something?

A very pleasant Game of Life, really nice ! I’m just a bit disappointed that the boundary conditions are “walls”: periodic is much more fun ! (I tried the “Life, Fourth Try” version).

Good job BTW !

Damn, I wrote something that does quite the same thing, to get my hands dirty with Shoes mainly… What can I say, that’s a GREAT idea! ;) (but I hope you’ve got more free time than I to hack some ruby)
