Project Purple GTK 1.0 software

[dbohdan]

I discovered a collection of GTK 1 software from around 1999 and thought you might find it interesting. It includes programs for displaying very simple GUIs that are easier to use than gtkdialog for their particular purposes as well as an unusual graphics tool.

Name	Description	Status
Dothis	Displays an input box then runs a shell command appending the input value to it.	Works out of the box. Builds with just make if you have GTK+ with headers installed.
Missile	A monochrome Missile Command game.	Works out of the box. Builds with just make if you have GTK+ with headers installed.
Quickbutton	Displays a window containing buttons with label you give on the command line. When a button is pressed prints the label on that button to stdout.	Works out of the box. Builds with just make if you have GTK+ with headers installed.
Hex	A Puzzle Bobble clone game.	Builds with just make if you have GTK+ with headers installed. Quits at runtime with an X server error. Runs with XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 ./hex but does not display the cursor line for aiming your shots.
Drawtool	A pretty nifty scriptable vector graphics drawing and display tool.	Requires imlib and netpbm. Once you have them and apply the patch given below it builds on Fedora 21 with the command C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include:/usr/include/netpbm make and runs just fine.

Great find! I'l take another look at these once I'm done porting everything over to https://github.com/dimkr/rlsd2.

All right! I'm looking forward to RLSD 2.
