  Scrollbars?

  I suppose that is an obvious one. <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  As part of a current project in C2, I'm developing a desktop simulator. I've been writing a plug-in to handle the windows, and I thought I would ask for a general consensus on which critical components should be included in a window object.

  Currently, I have the following:

  • resizable, draggable window (obviously)
  • title bar
  • close, minimize, expand buttons
  • functionality for adding general components to a window (buttons, text boxes, etc.)
  • functionality for adding custom components to a window
  • resizing and scaling functionality for components when window is resized

  Maybe I am over thinking this, but does anyone have any suggestions as to any functionality I should or could add?

  I'm really not intending to make this a fully functioning interface, but I want to make sure I make the simulation as real as possible.

  Thanks!

  Very nice game, gorgonzola! The graphics are beautiful, and the game play is very smooth.

  I've been using chicagovps.net.

  They're a "Low End Box" type of provider, but I haven't had any issues with them so far. You can find coupon codes that can give you quite a deal. I currently have a virtual box that normally costs $14.95/month, and am only paying $6.00/month.

  JohnnySheffield, this was a great find, and you've done a lot of good work on it. node-webkit looks like a winner!

  I only use jQuery to detect mouse/keyboard input. I imagine that would be easy enough to replace, but I would need some assistance in learning how to do that.

  teahousemoon,

  If you still want to use JS and HTML5 for a web-based desktop app, check this out: http://desktop.sonspring.com/

  The author created that using jQuery and CSS. Here is a link to his devblog: http://sonspring.com/journal/jquery-desktop

  You can also check out jQuery UI, which runs on top of jQuery: http://jqueryui.com/

  One thing is making a C2 plugin with JS. Great. Another entirelly is making an entire app in it, much less an entire game engine :) Kudos to Ashley on that.

  +1 kudos!
