Hi everybody,
Get it from http://factor.sourceforge.net
This release is notable because it includes the first release of the SDL
graphics binding that is ready for wider testing. Note that the SDL
binding only functions on the x86 architecture.
Once you can compiled cfactor and generated an image, try running
./f factor.image -libraries:sdl=libSDL.so \
-libraries:sdl-gfx=libSDL_gfx.so
(That should be one line.)
Then
"contrib/mandel.factor" run-file
Try tweaking the file to change zoom parameters or the number of iterations.
To see what SDL functions are supported so far, see library/sdl/, in
particular sdl-gfx.factor and sdl-video.factor.
If anybody manages to cook up a nice graphical demo, please post it to
the list!
Another notable change in this release is that cons cells are now
immutable, and the destructive operations set-car, set-cdr, nappend and
nreverse are gone.
Slava
