[cells-devel] Cello Rizng

[Ken Tilton]

GUI fans might want to start tracking the Cello list for ongoing
development.

Celtk is fine and with its Togl widget even does OpenGL, but Cello makes the
Celtk/Togl come alive with:

    FTGL -- anti-aliased texture, polygon, outline, pixmap, bitmap,
extruded, and one I ma forgetting fonts
    GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick -- awesome graphic file handling and more
    OpenAL -- fun with 3D sound
    Much more sophisticate dframework, esp. in re widget Geometry.

Speaking of OpenAL, it looks as if the Tcl "Snack" library will provide
terrific real-time audio synthesis (but that would be true for Celtk as
well).

Anyway, if you download Cello now (a) most of it is yet to be resurrected
but (b) if you can get demo NeHe-06 running (1) you are pretty good at
getting hairy libraries running and (2) i think you will enjoy it. :)

Meanwhile, PyCells is bringing some attention this way:
