Abandoned project

Howdy.

• 🔭 I wonder if aliens exist... 🤔
• 📖 I am reading lots of technical books which I never finish.
• 🌱 Keep learning. Keep going. Keep growing.
• 📝 I'm learning RP2040 (ARM Cortex-M0+) assembly, and honestly it's easier than I expected.
• 💬 I'm open for chatting about pretty much anything.
• 📫 How to reach me: [email protected] or hackerdagreat57 on Discord
• 💢 Why is so much of today's software so inefficient? Is there really no better way to get things done??
• 🦠 Help scientists fight disastrous diseases by folding@home. Here's my profile. (I was not paid to put this here)
• ⚡ Fun (actually pretty sad) fact: I don't get any allowance 😔
• 🎵 Favorite artist: helloworld (I was not paid to put this here)

I know a bit of Bash and C++. I used to know Batchfile, but then I moved on from Windows, and honestly you should too.

bpp's Issues

Need help on Apple ports

I do not own an Apple laptop or desktop, which is required to build apps for Apple platforms. I currently cannot buy a modern Mac due to their monstrous price tags. Currently thinking to buy this one that can somehow run macOS Monterey (or at least Catalina). To give you a perspective of my budget this thing is $10 cheaper than my entire budget.

Apple platforms will not be supported until I buy the above Amazon one or until I win the lottery 😄 so if anyone with a Mac is willing to help, please create a Pull Request and we'll start discussion/planning from there.

If you have a question, please ask it in the Discussions tab. It is possible to turn a Discussion into an Issue after its creation.

Issues are Issues, not Questions. :)

Migrate build system from Visual Studio Code Tasks to Windows Batch Files

We'll use separate Shell scripts for Linux/Mac systems.

Set up orphan branches for new ports

This will be necessary as we are planning to support the cloud, the C++ version, and eventually the Swift version.

Complete log message planning

Before we can develop the software there needs to be a proper log formatting system, it's not like we can just spray the terminal with gigabytes of garbage.

The document is located here.

Pictures or it didn't happen ;)

The crazier the description the more urgent need to provide screenshots, gifs, videos, pictures, etc. 😉.

Please add some to document (and perhaps) explain the dev process, your mind flow, and the history of this cool idea!

Create the start page

Aim for something that's somewhat like the start screen of Xcode.

• Create a basic pop-up
• Implement basic dragging
• Make it look pretty (borders, colors, writing, etc)
• Add a background image (or multiple)
• Make the actual UI inside the box
• Add events for the UI elements
• Polish polish polish! Make it absolutely perfect before calling it "done"!

Complete adding optimization flags for each processor type

There will be multiple versions of the app, each built & optimized specifically for different sets of processors. This work will be done by GCC.

Supported Architectures

Planning to support x86 (32 and 64-bit) and ARM64. Planning to support as many CPUs that use one of these two architectures as possible.

Progress

• Add all processor definitions
• Add build targets

Finish implementing all renderers

Fill in case labels with something temporary for now, like Sorry, this renderer is still under development.

Complete color printing tests

Copy all colors listed in Wikipedia's list of colors into the bpp::text_colors::foregound/bpp::text_colors::background namespaces.

A little elaboration plz

The readme is not really clear what this project is about, like, it says

This application is meant to replace all the overpriced proprietary software out there that doesn't give you any freedom.
Like, do you mean that it's a multi purpose software thing? Or like a replacement of Blender (the 3d modeling engine)? Looking at the source code, I'm guessing it's supposed to be a really fast, optimized customizable(cuz u give options for like a million rendering backends) multipurpose tool but other then that the purpose of the project is pretty unclear. Other than that good job. 👍
