Xinf: Xinf Is Not Flash
Xinf, a recursive acronym for Xinf Is Not Flash, is a cross - platform, cross - runtime framework for GUI
development. Utilizing OpenGL for rendering controls with the Neko platform, Xinf promises a means
to develop applications that look and work in the same manner, whether deployed for Flash, JavaScript,
or Neko. In essence, it is a develop once, deploy anywhere framework. Unfortunately, Xinf only has one
developer, its creator Daniel Fischer, who, while dedicated, has little manpower to really get the library
off the ground anytime soon. Thus, at the time of writing this book, there is little in the way of
functionality that could be perceived as more than an ambitious, if impressive, project.
nGui
The next available GUI framework for Neko is the nGui library. This is our own bindings to the Tecgraf
IUP open source library and is usable with the Apple Mac OSX, Linux Motif and GTK, and the Windows
operating systems.
