Wow, interesting.
A few things come into my mind:
1. We take the Engine class, allow to configure another facet instead
of game, and move it into libept. That allows others to build the
interface they like on top of it, but this means that the interface
code needs to be rewritten every time.
2. We change the Engine class to allow to configure another facet
instead of game, and implement skins on top of goplay. The skin
would customise the interface, and also specify the facet to use
instead of 'game'. I don't know what this'd mean in terms of fltk
interface code.
3. We implement goplay --learn, automatically enabled if argv[0] ends
in 'learn', and we install both binaries.
In the meantime, just because it was easy to do, I changed the engine to
allow to customise the main facet used for navigation. I've also
implemented a new commandline option, --go=facet, to try it out.
I've committed the changes to svn at svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-games/software/ui
Get a list of facets using:
grep Facet /var/lib/debtags/vocabulary
Then decide where you want to go and run:
goplay --go=facet
For example:
goplay --go=admin
goplay --go=devel
goplay --go=office
goplay --go=security
goplay --go=sound
goplay --go=use
goplay --go=web
Of course one can install an extra tag source with tag data to go in any
other direction.
Oh, and by the way, THIS IS SO COOL!
Ciao,
Enrico
