ClassAct is a set of 17 BOOPSI classes published by Phantom Development LLC
and co-authored by Christopher Aldi, Timothy Aston, and Osma Ahvenlampi.
ClassAct provides object-oriented building blocks for your application in
the form of Intuition BOOPSI classes available as either shared run-time or
link-time libraries. As they are standard classes, they may be used with
any application environment supporting BOOPSI. ClassAct is a complete GUI
system in its own right, supporting everything from simple buttons to an
advanced list management class, and includes a complete GUI layout system
class that lets you create font-sensitive and resizable interfaces quickly
and easily.
Programs that use ClassAct can be made freely distributable, shareware,
commercial, etc. as there is no fee for users! When you purchase ClassAct,
users of your software get to use all the functions of our classes that you
allow them to. This not only makes ClassAct a powerful and time-saving
choice for software developers, but an affordable and convenient one as well.
Since ClassAct all classes are BOOPSI, they automatically support all
sorts of great features, such as window relatively (resizability), 3.x
help, notification, and interconnections with other BOOPSI classes (which
do not necessarily have to be ClassAct classes). ClassAct classes are
totally standard BOOPSI libraries, just like the colorwheel and gradient
sliders that come with release 3.x of the Amiga's operating system.
ClassAct classes are built for speed, power and efficiency.
All ClassAct classes are compatible with 2.04 (V37) thru 3.1 (V40)
releases of the Amiga operating system and take advantage of performance
increases available in release 3.x.
ClassAct is an expanding project, providing you with all the graphical
user interface tools you need to write your application. ClassAct is
currently up to 17 different classes, and the list is literally growing
all the time!
Should You Use ClassAct?:
-------------------------
Have you written or are you currently in the process of developing Amiga
applications? If so, the answer is a very definite YES, you should be
using ClassAct.
The graphic user interfaces of most Amiga applications fit one or more of
the following descriptions:
- Non-existant (i.e. command line only)
- Not font sensitive
- Not Locale sensitive
- Slow
- Memory Intensive
- Unattractive
- Lacking in intuitiveness and originality
- Non-standard
The reasons for this are simple. Existing systems for creating a GUI are
either limited in features, slow, hard to use, and/or violate system
standards.
This is why you should use ClassAct. The Amiga is a graphic system and
all applications should have a graphic user interface. ClassAct is the
only system that allows you to easily create a GUI that doesn't suffer
from the deficiencies listed above.
If you want your application to be easy to use, fast and professional
looking then you NEED ClassAct.
Because ClassAct is BOOPSI, ClassAct may be utilized in any other GUI
system supporting BOOPSI objects.
