pulpcore ported to desktop platform (awt)

[Carlo Salinari]

Hi,

I made a quick port of some of pulpcore's platform-classes in order to
run the examples as desktop applications (jframe).

(I hope this will make my study of the lib's internals easier.)

you can get the source here:
https://bitbucket.org/carlo_salinari/pulpcore-runtime-desktop-awt

as an eclipse project (I don't use maven).

I included two demos: PulpCoreLogo and BubbleMark (see attachments).

You can see them running pulpcore-runtime-desktop-awt.demo.DemoPlayer
as a standard java application.

Remember to include the pulpcore-applet jar in the build path.

Feedback is welcome!

Cheers,
Carlo

Looks interesting, I'm sure a few people could find this useful.

Hi Carlo,

Great work!

Hi Carlo,

Piotr Korzuszek also created something similar - a desktop port for pulpcore.

It can be accessed at:

http://github.com/genail/cr-pulpcore-desktop-demo

the projects seem to be similar.  Two small improvements I suggest to your project (based on his) are for the JFrame to be not resizeable, and also to adjust the graphics boundaries so that parts do not disappear behind the JFrame borders and title bar.

Also, a question: running, for example, the BubbleMark demo on with your (or Piotr's) desktop implementation, the framerate is much slower than when BubbleMark is run in a web browser (JFrame 45fps vs Applet 60fps for my system, typically). Do you (or does anybody -- David?) know why this might be?
