- The 'Building system' is ready.... the 'building' blocks are classes... those
- classes are simple to create (currently in C / Asm and B52... in the near future
- also support of other languages)... to build your program you must 'connect' the
- blocks together.
-
- What is ready?
-
- The prototype phase has been passed.... which means that the current classes
- are being trashed and rewritten with the lessons learned.... because of the
- prototype phase the development of these classes will be a matter of days/weeks.
-
- Available prototype classes available;
-
- BST_UserClass, BST_LockClass, BST_SystemClass, BST_ApplicationClass.
- BVS_DisplayClass, BVS_WindowClass, BVS_GadgetClass, BVS_ImageClass,
- BVS_TextClass, BVS_FrameClass, BVS_StringCritter, BVS_WindowCritter,
- BVS_SliderCritter, BVS_LayoutClass, BVS_ScreenClass ........
-
- These classes are not supplied in the 1-April version (really no joke;-)
- this version is just the BEAST engine.
- The classes are available for developers of "the first hour"....
- In a few days/weeks the first classes will be released.....
-
- Ah!... they are free ;-)
