hi. im exploring something like this here http://koo5.github.com. it has nerverot running on the background:D Im thinking of swallowing s3d (s3d.berlios.de) or perhaps embedding python and writing a gui to mplayer in it, dunno. So far its only the terminals, paradoxically i got stuck on not knowing how other elements should look/work, hehehNickJohnson wrote:My current plan for a GUI (which is a while off in the future for my project) is essentially a set of graphically enabled teletypes that can be increased in number on the fly. Each starts with a shell, but when another program is launched, it can draw whatever it wants on the screen and accept mouse and keyboard input. It can also be run to draw on a newly created screen, which is destroyed when the program exits. The shell can be made to accept emacs-style key chords or have vi-style mode switches to make commands faster.
cheers
