Yes,
In the tutorial PixLib – Understanding the basis of the framework, I’ve figured out that some of the code in the template provided was wrong.
Sorry for that… Now all is fine.

PixLib – Understanding the basis of the framework

This tutorial is provided to give you the basis to be able to use the so good PixLib framework made by Francis Bourre. You should know at least what is a MVC pattern and a Command pattern.

Usually, using a MVC, each view will have a controller that will update the model ( if needed ) and any views that need to be changed.
This can be achieved in the PixLib library using the class in com.bourre.mvc. But this tutorial will not deal with this “usual” MVC pattern.

Francis add to his framework something really flexible, called the FrontController. This controller is receiving events from any views and then call the Command associated to it.
You’re code is then really clean and pratical: one class = one command so your code for an action can be found really easilly, plus you can see all the actions that could be executed looking at the FrontController code, everything is in there.
You will not look in X classes to try to find the code that do this particular action, you will go straight to the goal.

Pixlib Library

Ok. Here is THE library you should have in your pocket.
I’m watching the development of this library since the end of 2005, and a month ago I decided to give it a go.
And now I regret I didn’t try it before. It’s really easy to develop with. Everything has been thought to make your code clean and easy to implement.

I can guess your question: “But where can I find this beauty?”

Just go HERE. You will be able to download the library and you will find documentation and tutorials.
Plus there is a mailing list. People are very reactive and friendly. So don’t hesitate to ask question, people will be glad to answer you. I’m sure because I’m quite posting those time and each time I had a answer with a smile.

So thanks to francis bourre who made this happen and all the people who’s worked (and still working) with him

Last word. I will try to help the Pixlib community putting some ressources on my website. Hopefully it will be soon. So stay tunned :)
