KonsolScript

Quixie’s development has been busy throughout May 2010. Quixie is getting a revamp on rendering engine. Cairo is being used to support vector-rendering.

As such, new commands were added to Draw class:

• BeginFill(color, destination)
• CurveTo(x, y, destination)
• Clear(destination)
• LineStyle(thickness, color, destination)
• LineTo(x, y, destination)
• MoveTo(x, y, destination)

All of which are only functional on the cairo-build of Quixie.

With such functionality, a simple rotating 3D cube can be scripted just like the one below.

You can build Quixie with Cairo as rendering engine by executing make_cairo.bat — or download the precompiled demo for Windows. Still going to work for GNU/Linux platform.

Finally decided to release a Quixie installer for Windows. This doesn’t mean that Quixie is better than FreeKE. Neither is FreeKE dead — though there is a plan to stop FreeKE’s development, (which already has for more than a year now), once Quixie is more stable and supports all what FreeKE does.

This means Quixie needs testing under Windows just as in GNU/Linux platform.

It’s been some time since KonsolScript was tested to run quite well on Arch Linux.

After finally having enough time testing out the installer provided by Samuel Wang for Arch Linux and related distro, the installer is now being recognized by KonsolScript Development Team as official KonsolScript installer for Arch Linux platform.

You can download the installer from KonsolScript’s project page on SourceForge.

To install, just open a terminal and type:
sudo pacman -U quixie-2010.04.02-1-i686.pkg.tar.xv
