Croquet - XUL

I am trying to incorporate the Impara Sophie's XUL staff and logic into the Croquet.

The idea is that, we could define the Croquet (3d/2d) user interfaces (or the way of filling up the space with content) within a xml file. which satisfies the Croquet software logic requirements (for example: multiplicity of spaces (no direct analogs in VRML or X3D), etc.) and is readable by human.

To try first tiny example in work, just install the two latest XUL and Croquet-Xul packages from http://www.squeaksource.com/MediaTalk.html repository,and add to CroquetMenuProject at any #menuBar.. new menuItem:

menu add: 'Create from xul' target: self action: #actionCreateFromXUL disabled: false.

OOPSLA' 06 conference

Croquet and Sophie :united

The combination of these great software technologies gives the complete solution for building next generated multimedia.
We could develop the 3D real-time (Croquet and OpenGL) applications with XUL (Sophie - Tweak-Rome and XML-CSS) based 2D user interfaces and multilanguage support (Sophie Unicode FontManager and FreeType fonts).

I'have tried to unite it using the current avaliable versions,
It works!

To try you need:

1. Croquet v1.0 beta
2. Download additional resources (all in one zip file: 'Fonts/resources/bin' shoud be extracted in root Croquet folder).
3. Install all packages from SqueakSource repository http://www.squeaksource.com/MediaTalk.html . (load into working image manualy or using CroquetSophie.mcm)
4. In 'Workspace' execute: SophieSystem installFonts. SophiePreferences setupPreferences.
5. From 'Objects' run VMuseum (Master)
