2011-07-27 Books Editor Nearing Completion

I know the screenshots have been a little limited of late especially from the Forgotten World side, so I took a screengrab of the books editor that I’m working on (posted in the Awesome Screens section (#20)).  It is nearly complete only lacking one or two minor features and a few cosmetic changes.  Once those have been completed, I will require a few people for some beta testing, so I’m currently taking volunteers from the community.  The main reason for the outside beta test is to get some feedback from the community regarding the editor since I will be releasing it to the public in a few weeks or less.

While on the whole, this editor’s usefulness is limited given the simple format of the books.flx file, the task has provided me with valuable insight into Python GUI programming.  As a result, other editors (mainly a scheduling editor) will be developed with a much faster pace.

On the subject of books, there are no limits on the number of books/recipes/etc you can submit.  If you have a submission or wish to beta test, you can contact us via the usual channels list on the Team and Contact page.

Also, it looks like we have a need for musical composer, so if you are interested, please send a sample to the team email and we will get back you pretty quickly.  I’ve already got a list of areas that need musical accompaniment.

That is all for now, but expect some additional news in the coming week or so.
