Summary of change:
'''Currently this is a developer page: Out-of-the-blue Perl tuningsoftware uses the same glade and datamap files''' as MegaTunix ... as an implementation of the OtherTuningSoftware/CommonInfrastructure just to make sure noone misses this: Mik commited some nice perl code to CVS (bin/knock_gui_test.pl). Using * similar glade files as megatunix (making a new one for knock) * with perl-gtk libraries * existing ways to parse config * and existing ways to talk to GenBoard he could manage to make a usable '''multiplatform tuningsoftware''' skeleton in 1..2 days and about 420 lines. Hats off. This paves the way for serious improvements to come. ---- '''Why perl?''' Let's face it: starting in C we usually get it wrong. If we first show ourself in Perl or Java how to do it, the C will be much cleaner and cheaper (because programmers will be ashamed if C implementation is more than 5x longer than in perl - which it would most likely be if it was just written in C from the ground up). The reason is that we tend to omit extremely useful patterns in C that we naturally apply in Perl or Java. Note that the C is unbeatable when it comes to speed and footprint, so C (MegaTunix) is in no way obsolete or deprecated.Just as usual, we want to allow for easy working prototypes. All the good ideas (after some settlement) implemented in pvtune must finally be ported to MegaTunix. ---- See also * MegaTunix end-users probably want to use this
Optional: Add document to category:
Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ... '''Bold''', ---- is horizontal ruler, <code> preformatted text... </code> See wiki editing HELP for tables and other formatting tips and tricks.
