GetText on Pharo 2.0

by Usman Bhatti

Hello, I worked a bit on GetText package for internationalization in Pharo to make it 2.0 comptable. So, I was able to make it work by adapting it to changes in FileSystem and SmalltalkImage class. Now, I need to commit it to test. I still need to see - if its initiated properly on startup; - tutorial here<http://book.pharo-project.org/book/LanguageAndLibraries/Localisation/Instal…> is working with the new changes; - create some tests. I'll access rights on PharoExtras/Gettext to commit my changes. regards, Usman

For anybody who cares it originally comes from last chapter of Smalltalk Best Practices Patterns by Kent Beck and was uploaded by Avi Bryant. I've been decreasing the code quality for a little while. ;) I'll move it to Smalltalkhub later now.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Cairo vs openGL

by kilon

Yeap Igor already knew all that when I first visited the website awhile ago. My only concern is how much time will it take to make this work under opengl. If it take less than 60 hours of effort , sure I could do that, if it would take more than that then I am afraid Vector graphics is not such a big deal for me to justifying investing that amount of time. 3d graphics is my focus. But anyway as I said, that is something I will deal with after I have sufficient knowledge of the basics of opengl and finish the NBOpengl tutorial classes. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-dev-Cairo-vs-openGL-tp4692947p4693051.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Then implementation.. it can use anything, and , of course, can be implemented opengl. That's what i wanted to say about ShivaVG. There are other implementations of OpenVG which using CPU.
