Yet another WPF powered flash game is ready for you to play. The game is written in C#. Let me know if you’d also want to see the source.

Today I have extended the ExposedFunctions example. In our scenario we have written a javascript library in c# with jsc and we would like to consume some of its exposed functionality. We are going to edit our html file with Visual Studio inside the WebApplication1 subproject.

In the previous version the API consumer was only able to set text and index fields.

This time around the consumer is able to optionally specify mouse handlers and invoke GetString function on demand in javascript.

In this html file I have added two new buttons to consume the exposed API. The Example2 button will react on mouseover and mouseout events. Clicking on the data will invoke the onclick handler in which we will invoke the C# code to provide us some text to be displayed.

In this example I am going to demonstrate how to write a java applet with a background thread.

Here is a list of the use cases for code written as such:

• Java Applet
• Java Console Application
• .NET Console

Additionally I have added support for mouse enter and leave events the java way. While in .net it is easy to subscribe to events using anonymous delegates, such a feature is not yet supported by jsc compiler for java target. It could be resolved in the future releases by adding support for generics and build dynamic invokation on reflection. Google App Engine and Android markets are probably going to trigger that update.

For what do we need a background thread

I have created a simple infinite incrementing loop to serve as our business layer. There is a special class ThreadedAction, which abstracts away thread creation, which in turn differs from .net to java from being delegate based to being interface based.

How do we spawn a new thread

As I enjoy the AtDelay and AtInterval extension methods I make use of while programming for actionscript and javascript, I had to implement something similar for the threading API. Therefor spawning a new thread is dead simple:

Why not try to test it out running as a console.

The assembly has been defined as a console exe. Hitting F5 in debug build will show you the console asking your input when to stop the computation.

We now saw that our threaded application does run inside .net. It is time to run it on java virtual machine. To do that we need to build our project with release build. This will trigger jsc to genereta java source code and afterwards java compiler will add final magic.

You cannot just press F5 now, instead you should start run.jar.bat. I am using Scite and by double clicking on the bat file Scite shows up in which I can press F5.

Notice that, only the title is different.

Let’s add an applet interface

Console applications are cool, but applets also have its role to play in our example. The applet form is set up in two steps. In file DemoApplet.Designer.cs I am going to define the buttons and attach handlers.

37 this.Button3 = new Button {};

38 this.Button3.setLabel(“Compute”);

39 this.Button3.addMouseListener(new Button3_MouseEnter_Handler { Target = this });

40 this.Button3.addMouseListener(new Button3_MouseExit_Handler { Target = this });

41

42 base.add(Button3);

I know you would rather use delegates – I would, but I cannot just yet. In file DemoApplet.cs I am going to define the actual handlers.

In the applet I could start the computation either by explicitly clicking on the start button or hovering your mouse on the third button.

Summary

In this example I demonstrated how to write a threaded applet which handles mouse enter and mouse leave events for starting and stopping computation.

Ist ja schön falls man auch deutsch mehr oder weniger kennt, ne?

I have prepared an example to demonstrate how to expose your C# coded function for scripting.

ExposedFunctions [source:svn]

Read the commented source code of that project for better understanding.

The short anwser to the problem looks like this:

Whole team

1. What can we automate?
2. where are we “Reinventing the wheel”?
3. what are the tools that slow us down?
4. what tools can we use better?
5. are there bugs that I could have found earlier? how do I make sure I find them earlier?
6. when do we find out we built the right thing?
7. when do we find out our code\design sucks? how can we make that earlier?
8. How do we show progress at the team level? at the management level?
9. How many meetings does each dev have every week? how can we remove them?
10. Are we building by feature or by layer?
11. can we make all our team sit in the same place?

Team Lead

1. daily: what bottlenecks exist in the team? what have I solved?
2. will my devs be better in a month or two than they were before? if not, how do I make that happen?
3. what prevents my devs from working? what am I doing about this?
