Ready to See Some Code?
Alright, here is a simple Shoes program:
Shoes.app { button "PUSH!" }
The braces { and } are a kind of container.
The button is "in" the app. You see?
Like we can place a few buttons in a stack:
Shoes.app {
stack {
button "Mice"
button "Eagles"
button "Quail"
}
}
And to give the stack a margin:
Shoes.app {
stack(:margin => 4) {
button "Mice"
button "Eagles"
button "Quail"
}
}
This is kind of a narrow alley. Let's move on to a new page, what say you?
It is called SHOES. That is the way it has always been.
No, actually, the name was initially going to be MIDAS MACLEAN'S WINDOWS OF GOOD FORTUNE. However, it woulda been shrunk to the unintelligible MMWOGF; you can count on that. So, decided upon something short: SHOES.
Also, you can call it CARPET if you like. That is allowed.
Making Games, Anyone?
The Shoebox is a fan-supported gallery of Shoes apps, many of them games: share your code, solicit commentary, prey on others, etc. etc.
