I just found a cool Toolkit for making animated GUI’s easily.  Its call Clutter. It looks like it would make it really easy to write MT Apps on C++ or Python with the same level of graphical capabilities as Flash.  It might also make the C++ version of Lux a lot easier to write.  Personally I think Clutter+openFrameworks would make a killer app, with openFrameworks networking and vision capabilities combined with a Clutter GUI.

Oh, and it has Python bindings:D

Looks very and very nice Looks like it’s time to get back to linux
Thanks xelapond.

It says it works on Windows and Mac OS too, but GNU/Linux is far superior

Apparently it has bindings for C++, C#, Ruby, Python, Perl and Vala.

I can’t wait to try it out, which should be sometime this week.

Yep, it says it works on multiple platforms. but only Linux is free Who want to pay additional $$ for each setup?

I never said don’t use Linux Go for it!  Just pointing it out, ‘cause some people on these forums seem to be dead set against it.  My view, is who wants to pay $$$ to get their freedoms taken away, and then end up with a slower/more unstable/less hardware supporting computer?  Certainly not me, and I am glad to hear there are other people with my views here I think this forum has the largest concentration of Windows users I have ever seen, but I usually hang around GNU/Linux user groups, so, not too out of place.

Cheers!

No one ever said linux is bad. I’ve used linux. The fact is, linux is still the minority. We can’t cater to the minority. It’s as simple as that. Cross-platform solutions are always idea though. BTW, the freedom to chose is also a freedom. Using windows is not lack of freedom IMO.

Clutter is a very great toolkit! It is easy to make animation and visual effect based on their library. As its support OpenGL ES, it could be deployed on Embedded system like mobile phone and PDA.

Ubuntu’s Netbook remix come with an application called UME Launcher , it is using clutter. MID also offer a Clutter-home module :

cerupcat:  I know, but when we _can_do cross platform, and when it is considerably easy I think we should.  I try to make all my code cross platform, and when I can’t(e.g.X bindings for cursor position) I try and add in some code for Windows and Mac OS, that will run depending on the host OS.  I have not done that yet, but I will once I get it working in Linux.

Ben Lau:  Yeah, thats actually where I heard about it.  It sounds like a great toolkit, I am going to play around with it some tomorrow.

xelapond: I am now developing application based on Clutter. We may share the experience on IRC

Sweet!  What language?
