- Online-Insultant demonstrates a simple, standalone application
- that does not use the Dylan Application Framework. Naturally,
- since it doesn't use the framework it has a fairly poor user
- interface.
-
- This project also has fun playing around with the
- Text-to-Speech capabilities of the Speech Manager
- and serves as a demonstration of how to call some of
- the Macintosh Toolbox interfaces. It is perhaps the
- smallest Dylan application that does something that
- some might consider useful.
-
- The information source for the insult generation is
- some sentence fragments that are said to come from
- Shakespeare.
-
- Explanation of files in this folder:
-
- Library - library and module definitions.
-
- Engine - random number generator and insult generator.
-
- Picture - code to put up an insulting alert.
-
- Sound - code to call the Speech Manager to read an
- insult out loud.
-
- Application - the application startup function and code
- to bring the application nub to the front so the development
- environment doesn't hide it.
