I had not intended on posting another update on Red Curtain so soon, but last night was an amazingly productive night of coding.

Red Curtain 0.1 Starscream Update #2

So apparently the first Player to be created will be for Movies.  Which makes sense really, it was my bittorent addiction that got me going on this project, and I only aquire HD television shows.  The only bit I have left is to figure out the private API enough to force fullscreen.

Once I have fullscreen working, I will fully integrate it into the Stage and move onto the next Player, which will either be the DVD Player, or the iTunes interface.  Not sure which yet… Or maybe a module to access my game system emulators, that sounds nice.

Moving right along.  At this point I need to start thinking about the UI a bit more.  A friend of mine has given me some UI mockups he was working on, and I like them, I am just not sure they fit in with the developement direction that Red Curtain is taking.  The future will tell though, won’t it?

Once I get the Movie Player integrated and fullscreen capable I hope to post some screenshots of it in action.  Keep your eyes open people.

    Wow Chris, this is really developing quickly. I’m quite excited to see this beast in action.
