what the hell is this ?
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
this is aclock, a silly analog clock application
|
|
for menuetos (http://www.menuetos.org).
|
|
|
|
|
|
why do i need it ?
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
well, this is certainly one of the last programs on
|
|
earth you'd ever need. anyway, it demonstrates how
|
|
how to do certain things:
|
|
|
|
- writing menuet apps that parse the command line.
|
|
includes a strtok-like function that you might
|
|
want to use in own projects. or maybe rather not.
|
|
- writing menuet apps that are aware of the current
|
|
window size and that have no problems with different
|
|
skin heights.
|
|
- how to write menuet apps with nasm instead of fasm
|
|
(there should be a gas version aswell, don't you think ?)
|
|
and how to write kick-ass code with nasm in general =)
|
|
|
|
|
|
compiling instructions
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
yes, it's still written for nasm.
|
|
i really can't be bothered to work with fasm.
|
|
|
|
oh yes, you wanted to know how to compile aclock:
|
|
|
|
nasm -t -f bin -o aclock aclock.asm
|
|
|
|
if you get error messages like
|
|
|
|
nasm: unrecognised option `-t
|
|
type `nasm -h' for help
|
|
|
|
then you've got an old version of nasm.
|
|
get a newer version (0.98.36 or later) from
|
|
http://nasm.sourceforge.net
|
|
|
|
|
|
configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
you might want to change some of the constants defined
|
|
somewhere at the top of aclock.asm. the following might
|
|
be useful:
|
|
|
|
- DEFAULT_XPOS
|
|
- DEFAULT_YPOS
|
|
- DEFAULT_WIDTH
|
|
- DEFAULT_HEIGHT
|
|
- MIN_WIDTH
|
|
- MIN_HEIGHT
|
|
|
|
for more info about DEFAULT_XPOS/DEFAULT_YPOS see next
|
|
section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
this version of AClock introduces command line parameters.
|
|
here's an example command line:
|
|
|
|
aclock w128 h128 x20 y-20
|
|
|
|
this creates a window that is 128 pixels wide and 128 pixels
|
|
high (that's for the work area, without border/title bar).
|
|
the window is placed at x=20, y=screen resolution-20
|
|
(because of the minus sign after the y).
|
|
|
|
all parameters are optional and may appear in any order.
|
|
you can't have any whitespaces in a parameter, e.g.
|
|
"w 128" is an invalid parameter (which will simply be ignored).
|
|
the command line parser is case sensitive.
