I just sent the author a PPC build. There was a line that I had to add some casts to, but other than that, no changes were necessary.

I can perform the PPC build once I have my PPC machine back up and running. If Sasquatch666 (aka. Kancepts Web Scam undercover investigator) can do it, great. Either way, the PPC port if done originally without too much Intel code, should compile fine.

I can't perform the PPC build, since I don't have a PPC.
If you can, please, try to compile this app on PPC from sources. (You, or anyone else). If it compiles, please mail me the binary, and I'll post it here.
About having the gears drawn - I doubt this is technically possible without having major code rewrite. You see, I create the curve completely in memory, and then just copy it to screen. In order to see the PROCESS of drawing, I'll have to create the curve on screen - which is completely different from what is done now.
Besides, I'm thinking now about adding "Layers" to the application. Each layer will have one curve. The basis is "MenuWorld" application from the sample code. Repositioning (reordering) the layers shall be easy task, as soon as I figure out how to do it :-) . But currently I'm busy adding drag&drop support of graphic images INTO the application (they'll be stretched / shrinked to be 500x500 and will become the new background), and creating curves with custom centers (not only in the center point).

I like SDO's idea of a speed control for the kiddies to watch it draw, and while we are on the subject of making it kid friendly(which i hadn't really thought about much until now,I was more interesed in a graphix creation toy for old hippies like myself)how about a PPC build seeing as how my little girl's BeOS box is an old Apple PowerPC 7300/200? these old machines can be had very cheaply these days and make great computers for young kids and BeOS runs great on them!Plus MacOS has a lot of nice apps for little ones as well

Thanks for the file saving /drag&drop features, this is becoming a nice design tool with these abilities,now what is needed is the background color chooser and also the sliders to set the gear parameters .Also the rainbow and random color buttons.why don't they work?

Would be neat to have a 'repeat draw' ability coupled with a throttle control on the speed of the drawing. In other words, you could loop and slow down the drawing process so someone can watch it draw. Kids would love it. Also, please add the ability to have 'pattern' elements as part of a drawing. LIke a toolbox of sorts, be able to make an element, then drag that result into a toolbox to use later. Inspectors for elements would really be fantastic, with a previewer view in the inspector. Nice app, about 2-3 days away from being really neat-neat-neato!

There should be the ability not only to have a list of present determined patterns, with inspector for each. Also the ability to drag and drop the image to the Tracker/Folder to store it. Like done with highlited text, saved as a text clipping, you could have the image saves as an image clipping :) Great start to a really neat game/toy brought to the computer. THank you and keep up the hard work.

Yes, this is on my plan. Will be implemented soon.

Will be implemented soon also. But I will allow only single-color backrgounds, on purpose to be able to change their color on-the-fly - even when a drawing is already placed above the background.

Hmmm... An interesting idea. But I think more about a slider then about an arrow - slider will do the same thing even faster.

Yes, agree with you. Will be done as soon as I figure out how I shall invoke the Save window! :-)

3 gear systems - how exactly the 3rd gear must move? (Inside the 2nd one, maybe?! Interesting idea, I didn't think about that).
>> 1. Allow color store, wider range of colors via palette
In some of the next releases the color will be made user-selectable. I'll use Color Selector like in graphic applications, and the user will be able to choose any color he wants.
>> 2. Give the user the same for the background color
Will be done... At some of the future releases.
>> 3. Line width selection
Yes, it's something which implementation is really simple. Will be added soon.
>> 4. Save the drawing as a image that the translator kit can handle.
Yes, this one is also on my list. Though I don't think I'll be able to implement it soon - you see, this is my first BeOS GUI application, and I still don't know the Storage Kit. :-(
>> 5. Replay from 1 to N the drawing creation, showing how it is made, speed of playback should be setable via a slider.
Is it really necessary?! It will really slow the process of drawing, which is already very slow. I'll add it only if I'll be able to figure out how to make my application multithreaded, so the user will be aple to interrupt lengthy process of drawing. (Of course, provided I can figure out how this shall be implemented :-) ).
>> 6. Pattern Palette, allow to save a desirable pattern.
Saving an image with several curves will be implemented. If someone wants to save a single curve, he may clear the drawing, reproduce the curve and save it alone. I don't see a reason to implement this. (Or maybe I didn't get you?)
>> Also, the patterns for each 'drawing' should be an
>> item in a list, and the drawing order should be
>> user selectable. Drag and move a list item per se.
Good idea, but I don't know currently how to implement it. :-( Maybe a dynamically changing drop-down menu shall work?
I've mentioned the things I'll be working at in the included "readme" file.

Very neat game I played all the time as a child, gives ability to understand simple 2 and 3 gear systems. Also outputs really neat patterns. My complements, and also comments
1. Allow color store, wider range of colors via palette
2. Give the user the same for the background color
3. Line width selection
4. Save the drawing as a image that the translator kit can handle.
5. Replay from 1 to N the drawing creation, showing how it is made, speed of playback should be setable via a slider.
6. Pattern Palette, allow to save a desirable pattern.
Have an inspector for each object, simple, so that when selected the inspector comes up and the attributes of the
pattern can be changed on the fly and saved, used or reverted.
Also, the patterns for each 'drawing' should be an item in a list, and the drawing order should be user selectable. Drag and move a list item per se.
Well, that is a start, you have a neat application here and
in some ways it is like a high level turtle graphics
project with gears in mind. Look forward to the next
release with all the above functionality included.
