World: r4wp

We just released our first R3 based tool. See: http://www.saphirion.com/development/heat-map/


The tool gives you an editor to build hierarchical structures / layouts 
where you than can map given information criterias (Skills, Performance, 
...) into visual recognizable values (color, line width, ...).


We use this tool to visualize complex situations on one page. The 
values could be feed from a database or other source in real-time 
and the visualization will update immediatly.

Update on the web-page will be available on the weekend.

Is there a new %test-demo.r3 file? The old one doesn't work anymore.

Ok, need to check.

Maybe someone with Windows may find useful this function https://github.com/Oldes/rs/blob/master/projects-dll/libPowrProf/latest/libPowrProf.r

We have a new testimonial for our NLPP product (R2 based) from ZF:

Has anyone noticed that http://rebol.comis down?  Not a good sign.

I just noticed a few minutes ago when my trusty "do http://rebol.com/speed.r"
failed.

It looks like a bill wasn't paid.

Can someone close to Carl let him know right away? How embarassing.

Oy. No special channels here.

Why?  Its a non-executable script so just shows for me

My REBOL book is going to be published in July. I've almost done 
the writing. The publisher is BroadView (in China). The first edition 
will be 10K copies. has designed the book cover, and layout some 
of the content

The book is for the people who would love to try programming and 
don't care about which language was used.

It's in Simplified Chinese. Also, The traditional Chinese edition 
will be published in this summer.

Hi! Placed my mirror game (with the slow code still) to be found 
at http://arnoldvanhofwegen.com/stuff/mirror.rebolBecause I have 
my apache thinking .r files are to be processed I renamed it to .rebol. 
Just download and rename to .r and play with REBOL/View.

btw, its very cool puzzle game  !

I just realized we sometimes need multiple reflections to go around 
some other mirrors...  it gets hairy  :-)

is the game supposed to tell us when me make an error at some point? 
cause I can place 7 mirrors, but the end result is currently not 
valid... (it doesn't tell me which tiles aren't bouncing light at 
their counterpart)

Thank you, I found it a fun puzzle too when I found some of them 
in a summer logic puzzle book. I then found a puzzle collection with 
most of the puzzle games (Simon Tatham's portable puzzle collection) 
except this one so I built one myself using Java. One of the first 
puzzles I had to solve I solved with 6 mirrors but you have to solve 
it using 7. It was quite a puzzle to me thought I made an error somewhere 
but luckily I solved it!

it would be nice for numbers to have a different appearance (bold 
white ?) telling us which one are paired.

No it tells you if you solved the puzzle (green) and when you solved 
it but not with all 7 mirrors.

got the yellow... almost

in fact I've got one solved at 5 mirrors... darn, adding two extra 
mirrors without affecting otheres is *hard*

Those are the hardest ones! Sometimes you have to break down what 
you built up first.

I thought about that too, label font color can be set, but I was 
afraid it would slow down the app. That is why I chose to build the 
extra mirrors as a seperate layer to show on top of the grid-layer 
and the unchangeble mirror-layer.

oh don't worry about speed, its a really small app with verry little 
to update... 


I've got 250000 line draw blocks which refresh 10 frames a second 
interactively  :-)

There is a small problem. I test if the solution is found, the moment 
it is found to be not the case, evaluating stops. I can rebuild the 
working.

I can rebuild the working.
   is there a word missing there?  not sure I get it.

oops, didn't realize we where chatting in announce... sorry all...

New version of the mirror game placed on same spot. Only on first 
screen the coloring doesn't work. See what happens if you comment 
the line before the last. Bold did not work for me either, could 
be the mac and font arial.

Hello I have a new version 1.05 'ready'. Added languages and a preferences 
panel. Only the save option to save preferences I did not fill in 
this one, because  first  of all location of this file and secondly 
I had doubts if it is needed. http://www.arnoldvanhofwegen.com/stuff/mirror.zip
It contains 3 files.

Arnold, I got this error:
** Script Error: lbl-language-text has no value
** Where: do-facets
** Near: lbl-language-text

I have seen that one before
Try
lbl-language-text: "en"

(Please move discussions to Ann-Reply. Thanks!)

Warning: new discussion possible!

Well this was hard! 1.06 ready on zip space but because I have 0.0 
trust in Macs zippabilities I also placed all files in http://arnoldvanhofwegen.com/stuff/mirror/

The files are Windows Latin 1 format for all special characters to 
display ok, except in REBOL itself where they are a mess ):

Did I tell you it works on my Mac now? Don't know what happens on 
other platforms. This time I tested while constantly restarting REBOL/VIEW.

Hi all,
I am proud to announce: RebRep | print with your RepRap
http://rebrep.blogfree.net
It is a Windows-only program.

Please let me know what you think of it (even if you don't YET have 
a RepRap ;) )

My REBOL book has started forward sale today here http://product.dangdang.com/product.aspx?product_id=22807051
. The first 1'000 readers will get the book before the end of July.

Hello everybody: I'm working on rebol2.blogspot.com (take a look!). 
If you want to write an article on Rebol, send me an in email with 
the article and I'll publish it. If you want to see a topic discussed, 
send me an email with a request, and I'll try to write about it. 
My email is [maxint-:-tiscali-:-it]

Look also at this page: http://www.maxvessi.net/rebsite/wr/if 
 your site is about Rebol and isn't the list on the left, please 
send me your link; if you know some site about Rebol and it isn't 
in the list, please send me a link.

A new version of the mirror game is available as a zipped file at 
http://www.arnoldvanhofwegen.com/stuff/mirror.zip

This time it is version 1.07. I put a beam in. Click on a label and 
a beam will show up,right click the label or just click the box for 
a new mirror and it disappears again. (It is also becoming a showcase 
for different REBOL techniques applied, though maybe not the best 
(: ) 
Have fun with this version!

Rebol source is going to be released.

*Rebol source code is to be released very soon. However there will 
be conditions precedent to the release.

http://rebol2.blogspot.it/2012/07/rebol-open-source.html

After one week of the foreward sale, 300 customers have paid for 
my REBOL book. It's not so bad. I think 1'000 is an achieveable target 
for this month. Let's consider 1'000 REBOLers coming to our camp. 
:-)
