It is Christmas time! and thus the best time to hand out a present to the community.
Introducing: SIMBA
Raymond, Wizzup?, BenLand100, Markus, Nielsie95, Bullzeye95, Cazax, Boberman, NxTitle and Nava2* have been working on their own Color Macro program: Simba.
* There are many more developers
What is Simba?
Open Source
Simba is Free Software!, and therefore comes with full source code. Everyone can see how it is constructed and learn from it. It is your next step to a successful programming career. You are free to modify it to fit your (or SRLs) needs.
Yeah!
Cross Platform
Simba is available for Linux and Windows. A lot of stuff has been directly developed on Linux. Mac support is coming next year.
Object Oriented
The code behind Simba, also known as the Mufasa Macro Library (MML) is Object Oriented. This means the code is highly readable, but also very maintainable; just like SRL. The MML also ships a lot of extra components which you can use in your own programs and scripts.
A Macro Program!
Shipped with a cross platform library, the MML, Simba will soon be suited for your daily macro activities! It already contains a lot of features, and more are being added.
Actively Developed
We current are maintaining Simba actively, and hope to be able to do so in the future. We may not always have time, but you too can work on it; because the code is 100% open source. Simba has had working OCR (from MML) for quite some time now, and it has also survived the recent RuneScape uptext update.
Well Documented
Simba and the MML strive to be well documented. There are many documents under constructions, and we will maintain them thus making it easy for everyone 'hop on' and start developing. We will also introduce a bugtracker for this project.
Not just Pascal!
The MML and Simba are both written in Free Pascal, but will get binding to other languages at some point. Python is planned, but since MML and Simba are fully open source, you can write bindings for virtually every language. We know some people favour other languages, and understand it is important to let them use their own language.
Still in development...
Sadly, we believe that Simba is not yet suited for general purpose macroing. There are bugs in the program we have to fix, so currently we are not handing out a binary just yet. The code however may be available soon.
In need of testers!
Simba is in need of testers! Do you want to participate and help? We may just be able to use your help...
Send me (or Raymond) a PM!
For now,
Hakuna Matata...
