Greetings,
I am using the 4GL (O E 10) to try and develop a SIMPLE soliatire game. Any example src would be a great help regards.
 
OK, call me stupid, but.... why would you want to do that -- not that I would not want to help or anything -- this is just curiosity on my part.
 
4 Gl

I am trying to show the benefits of the 4GL for just the langauge development external from the DB.
I am trying to show that PSC is NOT just about the excellent DB.
 
OK, I see where you are coming from. Some people telling you that Progress is only good in combination with a database and now you have the challenge to prove that it can do other things as well by making a solitaire game...

I am sure it can be done, but it will take you a bit of effort. Drag and drop of widgets = your cards (assuming you will want to make it similar to the MS game that comes with Windows) is not very well supported by Progress. It is for instance very hard to see where a widget is dropped. The selectable and movable attributes in combination with the end-move trigger are supported but afaik other than working with x and y coordinates there is no way to see on top of which other widget something has been dropped (and you will need something like that to make this work).
 
Thanks for your input dude. Indeed I were trying to show the benefits of OpenEdge, how Progress is SO much MORE than a DB. I have managed to 'knock-up' a noddy equivelant to the M$ version with Windows.
