Awesome! Thank you so much for trying everything out!

Edit
Added a little CSS to the landing page to freshen it up a bit.

Looks nice. Good job. I'd recommend switching to the HTML5 standard (not the resource hogging JavaScript, just the HTML dialect). Also, run it through the W3C validator and fix any errors it finds. These things aren't strictly necessary, but should be pretty easy to fix and you'll be able to stick a shiny image on your site saying it's standards compliant which some in the software community will appreciate.

I was going to mention about the pages looking overtly "texty" but I didn't want to add unnecessary criticism, but you seem to have done a successful implementation of al_read_user_mind so I needn't say anything.

That's actually quite pleasing to look at. I don't want to just steal it though. It's not quite my style color wise, but still, it looks pretty good.

Too many words are better than too few words. Too few words and they'll have on idea what your Web site is or what they can expect to find there. Too many words and they can choose to ignore most of them and skim or search the page. But really you don't have too many words anyway... That's only 1% of the words I would use.

But where is te sourcecode, Edgar? I remember some time ago i have downloaded another version of eagle with code. And then i would want a demo program demonstrating the usage of child windows from the menu, Truetype fonts, support for different languages (english and german at least), drawing area and horoscope diagram. 8-)

Yodhe23 was talking about the design of the site. When you first posted it, as you didn't have any CSS, it looked like something that was made for Lynx/Links/<text browser of choice>

There's nothing wrong with that. >:( "Texty" basically is code for "book like". In other words, made for communicating information efficiently, instead of wasting time. >:(

All I really did was include a CSS template from over here -- just pick the one you want. It adds a lot of finesse to a site without really doing... anything!

I also changed your "intro" div's class to "container" and did a little bit around your 7zip link to make it a pretty button.

You can learn how to do more with bootstrap at getbootstrap.com. You can use just small pieces of it, like buttons, without really changing much but adding classes or attributes to your existing elements.

Looking good Edgar.

If it were me, I would throw in maybe some small images, screen shots of your work perhaps. Your games, Eagle etc... maybe boot up GIMP and make some nice Download buttons to throw under the images of your software. I used some old mouse over HTML (old HTML) to animate my Download buttons on my page.

Maybe take some large fancy text and create a nice title for it.

Create your page like you do a game. Have a title, a menu with selections to go to different areas, like different pages for different things you have created, a CONTACT ME button etc...

Don't use GIMP to make a download button, use CSS. (Actually, Derezo's mockup shows how to to it)

The source code for Eagle 4 and 5 is on Sourceforge. Didn't you see the giant "EAGLE - Edgar's Agile Gui Library and Extensions" link? There is no documentation though. I would have to give you a tutorial. There aren't very many widgets for Eagle 5 yet, I just haven't had time to work on it for a while. In Eagle 4, Menu objects nest automatically, as a menu can hold a menu as a menu item. TTF is not supported by my libs, except in Eagle 5, where Allegro 5 supports it natively. Language support is also provided by Allegro 5. Not sure what you mean by drawing area, and you'll have to make your own horoscope.

Didn't you click on any of the links to the demos? Every single one has a screenie or three.

Neil Roy said:

See my comment to Mark. I didn't include any images on the landing page because I didn't want to clutter it with tiny thumbnails that don't show enough detail. I'd rather they went to each page to see the images. I may make a menu bar, and button graphics.

I am looking forward to Spiraloids 2 and studying the source if possible.

That is outrageously absurd and sort of comical aside from the fact that it's outrageous. :-/

I've been putting some work into lately, and it's getting along nicely. Doesn't have near as many of the features of Spiraloid 1 yet though. It also handles a bit differently because of the event system. Here's a preliminary screenie :
{"name":"610313","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/3\/8\/388ad67b652fb944713022e7c9a2ca9c.png","w":960,"h":540,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/3\/8\/388ad67b652fb944713022e7c9a2ca9c"}

I can share the source with anyone interested, but it still has a long way to go. It's about 100X cleaner and more organized than the last version though. OOP all the way baby.

I added styling to all my webpages and rearranged the contents. Screenshots now float to the right with text on the left. Made the content area a white div with black borders and black text. Put the title in big black bold letters outside the content pane in the upper left corner. What do you guys think?

{"name":"610314","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/7\/4\/740d99d5cf6f30cee08ddd6fd0cdff6f.png","w":1920,"h":1080,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/7\/4\/740d99d5cf6f30cee08ddd6fd0cdff6f"}

Right now each page has its own CSS styling. I'm going to move it all into an external stylesheet so I can redo my whole website on a moments notice. XD
