AmuleGUI in Cocoa
« on: January 04, 2008, 03:28:33 PM »
I read the topic about aMule GUI redesign in the news section and now I know that there will never be a change. The only way to have a good UI is to build a brand new GUI and use it with amuled.
Is there anybody who knows how to code in Cocoa? I can build the interface (*.nib files I mean) but I don't know Obj-C, so I can't code the whole interface.

IsA: I recommend you to start with some concepts pictures of your GUI design and present them in this thread. I know we have Obj-C-Coders in our community, hopefully one of them wants to work with you on this project.

I'll try to assist you as good as I can, but I don't know Obj-C myself and currently I'm busy working on Italian morphology and plain C ( bad combination, but C is the requirement ... :( ). Anyway, don't hesitate to ask me if I can help you.

I don't know Objective-C but I know a lot about programing and also a little of C.

Is amuled stable and well documented? If it is I'll be glad to spend some time getting to know more of Objective-C and programing an GUI in Cocoa.

Can anyone post some feedback on this?
Thanks a lot!

Well, we use the EC protocol for the communication between the core (i.e. aMule and amuled). This protocol might be reworked in the future, but currently it is not being changed.
The documentation is largely in the source code in the form of comments as well as in the form of implementations.

Does this answer your questions so far?

Ok!

I'll donload the source and later I'll let you know any progress.

May take some time for me to read some books or articles on the subject and familiarize myself with the code.

Many thanks for the reply.
