Hi all, haven't gone on to #ypn in a while( still, modem problems persist )

I was thinking of making extensions for awk(mainly gawk), such as:

(1) Tk or Gtk+
(2) SDL
(3) OpenGL

I need to do more research, but I'd probably need help from people who know SDL, OpenGL, etc.

-- Thanks, ComWizz.

Anyone here good at OpenGL, SDL or Allegro?

I can do some Tk in Tcl, but no OpenGL or SDL - I don't know Allegro
either.

I think there are one or two guys I know that are good at this,
Flikm and KaGez I think.

I am decent with SDL,

But I've never done any shell scripting (other than taking long commands or sequences and putting them in a file for ease).

I'm not fluent in OpenGL anymore (haven't done it for a while ), but I think I can still work with it
SDL also isn't forgotten inside me, as well as GTK+.
But, lemme first see what this awk is....

KaGez: well, awk is a scripting language. A very good one too, easy to learn, vast and rich features. gawk is very well developed.

is it a interpreted scripting language? if so, I'd recommend you to not use OpenGL for it, because OpenGL needs it's precious CPU power, which you can't effort if you're also interpreting a script in the background. It's even hard to keep the speed of these 3d libraries (or APIs) fast with C/C++... Just a thought ....

yes it is interpreted.. just check for "awk" on your system.. it's become sort of a standard UNIX shell tool like sed, grep, etc... the only thing i can do in it is something like
"cat bla | awk '{print $2}'" which would display the second word in the file bla... it's nice for such simple stuff.

how about advanced stuff? :/

i dunno about that, you'll have to ask comwizz, he seems to be an awk expert.

hmmm... awk export...
anyways, trying to get OpenGL working with a interpreted language is like jumping out a window from the 10th floor. It won't do any good imho.
