this is the same thing but all parts are totalized

(I call it the shopping list 🙂 )

(I know, I know, all this for a game 🙂 )

I see.. Damned, this seems like fun 🙂

I have the Slideshow working already, so I'm thinking about merging it and start looking at a 1.5.8 release, if nobody has any objections to the InternalWindow thing. I know Slideshow might belong in a separate project, but it's just a few lines of code, so I think it doesn't deserve a separate project and everything that comes with it.

I think it will fit with tornadofx

especially if you can make cool looking wizard like dialogs with it

(fill in slide1, press next, fill in slide2)

Me too. I might just add a small control to the bottom with arrow buttons to go back/forward and a progress indicator to show how many slides are left. This could optionally be turned off of course.

that would be great in a wizard

Oh, absolutely. So this thing could definitely be used as a wizard. It supports scopes, so it would be trivial to keep some state for all the pages of the wizard as well.

In a wizard setting you'd probably want to control whether it's allowed to go to the next slide etc though..

So some extra functionality might be needed.

yes

Interesting.. so this Slideshow is turning into a wizard..

It would actually be combined with the InternalWindow very easily...

So maybe I'll keep the Slideshow as a separate component, then create a Wizard that utilizes the InternalWindow and the Slideshow?

I'll never write any documentation..

yes

A Wizard might not need an InternalWindow. It could be placed in a normal window, or simply embedded inside another node, or be the root of a normal view. I'll make sure to support all those cases.

bah everything I try makes it worse

It's a hard component to write.

yeah well I am at the point of scrapping what I have now and restarting

That's probably a good idea, but start very basic. Don't add any features, just focus on the layout.

my problem is determining what is already at the same Y coordinate

I tried

and then

`
 for (Node node : filtered)
        {
            Vertex v = (Vertex)node;
            width+=v.getWidth();
        }
`

but it also counts the items that are not layed out yet
