Javascript Challange

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Ok I admit I hit a roadblock and so I thought to use this blog as a means to seek help.  I want to make form elements resizable and draggable at the same time but when I run the ‘makeresizable’ and ‘makedraggable’ functions on form elements, they break. The functions are over at lines 4138, 4155 in http://github.com/fluidia/fluidia/blob/master/engine/js/base_jquery.js. To replicate the breaking, please download the code from github or have a look at stage. Then add a form element such as a button or textarea onto the canvas, followed by selecting it, and finally try to resize it. The element becomes resizable and draggable but broken as the resizing handles get out of sync with the form element. I’ve been trying to solve this for a few days and seem to not be getting anywhere.

So, if you’re into Javascript + jQuery, are up for a challange, want to help me out, please give it a shot or let me know. I’ll thank you publicly. :)

Scenarios (Experience Threads) – Layout Alternatives

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Here are a few new ideas on how to improve the existing scenario functionality. Each corresponding letter denotes an alternative idea. Just thought to throw this out here and see if some concepts seem better than others. There are at least three directions which I’d like exercise in the next revision behind scenarios. These include:

  • Allow quicker access to creation of scenarios (one click to create a new scenario)
  • Separate of scenarios from the left toolbar to the topbar (because it’s bigger than tools)
  • Allow playback of scenarios

I’ve also moved Scenarios out of the 0.1 release and moved it into the 0.2 release on our roadmap. Thoughts?
