T2 Implementation

Tuesday, January 09, 2007

Over the past several months, in addition to my design work on T2, I have build many small test applications that implement different aspects of the T2 project. They give me a chance to work out some of the challenges without diving full on into a large code base.

In the past week, I have shifted much more of my attention from design to implementation. Much of that effort has been on small test application, but I have recently started to assemble the various technologies into a "T2" project as well.

Here some of the things I have been working on:

• New Layout Code for Events
• Multiple Row Layout (Parallel Timelines)
• An Inspector similar to Keynotes Inspector for editing visual attributes
• An importer for Timeline 1.0 timelines
• Event drawing and layout

There are at least a few months of work to go before a beta release, but it is fun to finally dive in.
