Tintallë

This is a Python-based alternative to Gilthoniel for managing OpenCore-based light sabers.

This is still very much a work in progress at the moment. It's getting close to what I want for the base features. Maybe there will be an actual release soon?

Status

This is not guaranteed to be bug-free. In fact, it's practically guaranteed to have bugs! I'm just an amateur coder who's doing his best to make a thing. I'm sure there's sloppy code in here, and probably a lot of things that can be done better. But I'm learning as I go, and maybe down the road someone more knowlegable can clean things up.

Why Tintallë?

Because the original software that inspired it is Gilthoniel.

What?

What?

I don't get it.

"Gilthoniel" means "star-kindler" in Sindarin. "Tintallë" is the equivalent in Quenya.

Okay, but there's already Gilthoniel. Why have another app?

First, I have all the appreciation for Nuntis and his amazing work. However, Gilthoniel is written in Pascal, which doesn't really have as wide a user base as it once did, and also seems to be lagging behind in more modern programming features. I originally wanted to make some tweaks to Gilthoniel, but... I don't know Pascal.

Besides that, I'm hoping that switching to a more widely-used language will make it easier for others to help maintain and update as both LudoSport and the Polaris Anima continue to evolve.

Gilthoniel is (as far as I know) not going anywhere! Tintallë isn't meant as a replacement for it, but rather as an alternative. Use whichever one you like!
