Redo GUI #8

Open Mystro256 opened 8 years ago

The frontend should really be redone. The current one is hacky and hard to maintain. GameCube support should be dropped in favour for a frontend made with libwiigui.

Agreed, a new GUI would be nice :)

Mystro256 commented 8 years ago

It seems critical, as there are some issues with the current code that is inhibiting me from progressing without breaking the GUI code. It seems like there's something hardcoded or hacked in that shouldn't be there. I can see what can be worked around for now.

Damn, that sucks, but it's not surprising as the GUI is quite updated, I really need to learn more programming.

Mystro256 commented 8 years ago

If you want a starting point, look into libwiigui and C++. Another programmer by the alias medeirosT on GitHub expressed interest to me in developing this frontend if he has time, so he may be able to give some help if he's not too busy. Note that this requires some working knowledge in C++, so it maybe useful to learn some of that before anything else.

Here are some links if you want to do some reading: C++ http://www.learncpp.com/ http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ Libwiigui http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Libwiigui http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Libwiigui/tutorial

Yeah, I wish I knew more, I'll take a look
