A fresh take on all the seven challenges, without peeking into existing solutions;\n. A baseline for comparison of Red's approach to GUI programming with other mainstream toolkits;\n. Evaluation of VID dialect and View engine, search for their potential improvements;\n. Testbed for GUI backends supported by View.\n\nOther known implementations:\n\n* https://github.com/greggirwin/7guis/tree/master/Red[Gregg Irwin].\n\n## Status\n\nAll the 7 challenges are completed and clock under 270 lines of code, barring script headers.\n\nThe project was tested on all supported View backends with Red https://github.com/red/red/commit/32f10e8a3cb058fd3274bc024f65a809124dd699[`32f10e8`]; the following issues were found:\n\n.Known issues.\n[cols=\"1,1,6\"]\n|===\n| Backend | Task | Issue\n\n| Cocoa\n| link:tasks/timer.red[Timer]\n| Progress bar is not updated.\n\n| Cocoa\n| link:tasks/cells.red[Cells]\n| Spreadsheet cells are unresponsive.\n\n|  GTK\n| link:tasks/CRUD.red[CRUD]\n| Some critical assertions are failing inside the GTK library.\n\n| GTK\n| link:tasks/cells.red[Cells]\n| Evaluation of self-referential formulas hangs the application.\n\n|===\n\n## Structure\n\nlink:/tasks/[Tasks]:: Solutions to 7GUIs challenges; files are named after a task they implement.\n\n# Setup\n\n. Clone project's repository.\n. Setup the Red toolchain by downloading the automated build from the https://www.red-lang.org/p/download.html[official website].\n. Having toolchain binary and this repository in place, check out the implemented tasks:\n    * with `red \u003cfilename\u003e` from system shell;\n    * from the interpreter (`do %\u003cfilename\u003e` or `File \u003e Run...` in Red console);\n    * or via compilation for your platform of choice (see `red --help` for details).\n\nAlternatively, Red console and 7GUIs tasks can be built https://github.com/red/red#running-red-from-the-sources-for-contributors[from sources].\n\n# License\n\nThe project is released under link:COPYING[3-clause BSD license].\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2F9214%2F7guis-red","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2F9214%2F7guis-red","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2F9214%2F7guis-red/lists"}
