Introduction
My plan is to take a fairly robust application, my SmartTerminal and implement another version of its GUI in Kivy. This is my first introduction to Kivy, but not Python. I want to run on real PCs but running on other platforms is a plus. It might be a plus to support touch which I think Kivy does. My computer is not touch, I do have a couple of android tablets.
Kivy Language
First impressions:
- I do not like it, it seems to be a language in the same sense as HTML, more like a configuration file, XML ish which I have learned to dislike.
- If a language how come none of the examples seem to use comments?
- Easy to convert to python, but not clear to me how.
Conclusion: For now will avoid the so called Kivy language ( but finding much example code that is non trivial in Python is a search, I will let you know what I find )
Programming with Just Python
- Examples Hard to find
- Documentation hard to find.
- Google help, but most links not so good.
- Books, seem to like Kv language.
- One of best links:
- Code is too easy or too hard, cannot seem to find just right
Progress
I am trying to reproduce, but better, the GUI of the SmartTerminal ** link needed.
