Hirameki

hirameki-current.tar.gz(2003/Dec/05)

Currently, I devote to writing codes about SWF on Ruby. The aim is to create a library for SWF as like Ming or FreeMovie, for producing applications with Flash freely, especially, a presentation graphics program with Flash (it's my wish). To arrive the goal, we may go through some difficult paths, but, Ruby and its libraries must help us very much. :)

I think following features on Hirameki:

1. objective oriented GTK+-like interfaces,
2. with TrueType fonts,
3. and bitmap images

For the Hirameki project, some references are needed:

• SWF specifications
  • Macromedia -- Flash file format (SWF)
  • Macromedia Flash File Format (SWF) SDK(downloadable without any registration)
  • OpenSWF.org
  • A description of SWF at half-serious.com
• TrueType Fonts
  • FreeType2
  • FT2-Ruby
• Bitmap Images
  • Imlib2
  • Imlib2-Ruby
