Event Core from (Ewan) .. FreEpoc

As you maybe know my latest app was called Cartoon Today. To build this app I had the privilege to use the first version of the Event Core written by Ewan.

So what is it?
The app is actually a simple basic of a OPL app. It contains all general screens and functions like the about screen, settings screen and ini saving and opening functions.
This app really helped me allot because it made it possible for me to not have to focus on the entire GUI issues but enable me to quickly test some basic commands.
Many of you probably know that the easiest way of learning a programming language is to look and study examples.
The event core gave me the possibility to study the already provided code and to experiment without the normal hassle.

For writing Cartoon Today I had every thing I needed from the already exciting Event Core code.
In the early stages I deleted some code from the event core because I thought I didn't needed it but I've found myself reinserting the code when I learned more about OPL.

I hope you guys give it a look because Event Core gave me the possibility to code a working app (which really does something) in less then an hour.

Short:
It provides you with all the code to start coding without getting headaches

In time you'll edit the Event Core to your own standards. So you can use it for all your future apps.
But I will be watching the upgrades of the Event Core for good tips and code tricks.

Thx Ewan!
