Re: using sgine

[Anthony Di Franco]

I pulled in the UI dependency via Maven since I saw in Build.scala and elsewhere that it in turn pulls all the rest in.

I am trying to reproduce the example from this fairly recent post:

http://www.sgine.org/2011/07/more-concise-and-more-powerful.html

It seems that the org.sgine.core package no longer exists in the current source, checked out by me, built and deployed to my own maven repository today.

Instead, for example, there is org.sgine.resource.Resource instead of org.sgine.core.Resource, and org.sgine.display.StandardDisplay is nowhere to be found.

I haven't found your ScalaDocs, (I found a link in the blog which is broken,) nor gotten my own going yet, so I'm rummaging rather inefficiently through source.

The going has been a bit rough. What's the short story on getting started, if any?

That's because the first example was from the 0.1 codebase.  The second example is on the new code and is checked into the repository here:

http://code.google.com/p/sgine/source/browse/ui/src/test/scala/org/sgine/ui/ImageTest.scala

I need to figure out a way to generate the ScalaDocs for the multi-project, I just haven't had time recently.  I'm taking this month off of development with Sgine to write an Android game, so you won't hear much from me this month. :)

Hi Anthony,

I'm building with Sgine, here is what I do.

I use SBT 10, IntelliJ with the Scala plugin and SBT plugin. I use SBT
plugin to do my builds.

1. Step-wise to create my project I started by creating a new SBT
project using the SBT command line tool.
2. Then I built up my Build.scala file to include Sgine and other
things.
3. I used IntelliJ and SBT I run from within IntelliJ from its SBT
prompt.
4. I use the SBT intellij project generator "gen-idea" to generate my
IntelliJ project from within SBT to include all the right jars etc in
the IntelliJ project.
5. I build and test and run a demo

You would have to google many of the terms above.

Here is my Build.scala
http://pastebin.com/GJieEtYe

In my lib directory I have PNGDecoder.jar and scalamodules-
core_2.9.0-2.0.3-Snapshot.jar (this scalamodules not needed for Sgine,
just my other things). Is PNGDecoder.jar needed? I am not sure right
now, it was before.

In my runtime directory (home path at runtime) I have the dll's that
are required which you can find.

You don't need the akka, osgi, felix etc, so you could remove a lot of
that. You only need the Sgine stuff. Probably you will get confused by
reading that Build.scala, oh well - I was confused for a long time
too.....if you want to go down this path you need to know about SBT 10
(Scala Build Tool 10), IntelliJ, gen-idea https://github.com/mpeltonen/sbt-idea
All of this might be too much of a headache for you to go through, but
for me, its now a stable platform I can build upon with all the tools
I want. SBT builds are quick too and incremental with ~compile

Hopefully Matt will come back to the project soon.

[Hicks, Matt]

Philip,

That's the great start for a tutorial.  Would you consider writing a wiki entry for Sgine about getting started?

Yes, the PNGDecoder is still used (for loading PNG files), but I need to see if I can get it into Maven so it's not an explicit dependency anymore.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you access to modify the wiki.

Thanks,

Matt

Actually I already had the current source of sgine built and packaged in a maven package and included in my project via maven rather than sbt.

I am also using intellij but I used external sbt 10 to build sgine. Though I haven't gotten it to build the scaladocs yet.

I was just confused about the different versions. I am back to tinkering with it now.

Have you found the current source to be stable and usable? Can you make any recommendation on the stability of sgine 0.1 vs. the current source?

[Hicks, Matt]

There is definitely more in 0.1 than the default branch, but what is in the default branch is more powerful and better in general.
