Hey, i´m going to write a Chess GUI for different Engines!
I can write Python, but I´m just programmed Console Applications..Confused
Can somebody say me an easy Plugin, which uses an GUI ( The normal List thing, like on the Day[9] Plugin).
And BTW: How can I create an costum GUI, for Example an Chess board.
At the Moment i don´t search Tutorials, just easy Plugins, i can learn from!
Best regards, Xiider
For starter: xbmc have 2 kind of python addon (just simple overview):
- plugin (like Day[9]) using XBMC media windows to display content (it "only" need to provide virtual directory listings and don't have to care about GUI - xbmc will do it for it)
- script (this is propably what You want to use for Chess addon) have full control over window behaviour (this is if script use GUI of course) - simple script that use GUI is script.rss.editor - You can see there is window defined as .xml file (here You will specify how Your GUI will look like), python files using window callbacks (here You will define how Your script will run) and language files - You can use it as template.
