Re: ImplicitCAD and Windows.

Timo,

I'm not really prepared to support ImplicitCAD on windows, not having had windows on my gear since the 90s. ;)

We're working on re-adding the online cloud part of the website, I'll keep you posted on that.

I've been working explicitly on improving performance and precision of ImplicitCAD, as well as making the code more approachable to other developers.

There are always ways people can help a Free Software project. Do you have an IRC client, so you can hang out with me and the other devs? ;)

Hi!

I approach you because I am interested in using ImplicitCAD.
I have been using OpenSCAD a little bit, and I was really interested
to use elegant approach of ImplicitCAD representing parts internally
as mathematical formulations, but from the web page
(http://www.implicitcad.org/) I could not really find installation
instructions for Windows. Also, online cloud didnt work even if I
tried it with Firefox, Chrome and IE, so I could not really try the
examples.

About installation, I understand that I must first install Haskell
environment (which I am not familiar with), but after that the
instructions are really towards Linux environment. I suppose
ImplicitCAD is sort of a library in Haskell, but it is not told how to
install or use it.

I would be glad if you could point out some place with even minimal
Windows installation procedure to the point where I could see my first
ImplicitCAD cube!  :D

Other thing I want to ask, are you further developing ImplicitCAD, how
active is the process or community, if you have such? I am not sure if
my skills are enough to participate, but it is definitely an
interesting project!
