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.
