almost no progress

[szabgab]

I seem to be totally distracted from any actual work I should do. I have plenty of project I need to make progress and I think I managed to write two small scripts.

For some time I have been thinking on a game that would be built on to teach children and grownup to program. Something based on the same idea as http://scratch.mit.edu/ but with a direct translation to a programming language.
Last week I started to play around with SDL_Perl ( http://sdl.perl.org/ ) and make some sample scripts but then I got stuck as suddenly I realized I'll have to implement such basic widgets as a directory browser widget. It might be a cool project but I am not sure I am ready for such an adventure. So two days ago I decided I try to see if I can draw anything using WxPerl but the documentation is lacking and I did not have an example on how to do things. With the level of distractions I have now it took me the whole day till I managed to write a sample script to drag an image around the window.

Anyway, it is done now and I am heading home.

Yeah, days when nothing works are annoying. I'm fighting my Dreamhack at the moment, and all I was trying to do was review a patch.
