Then comes the start of areas I am not familiar with, namely 2 tasks 1. Creating the application framework 2. Restructuring the existing scripts to output to kivy widgets rather than the console. This has been months of thinking, coding and testing leading up to the transition from simple scripts into a fully functional GUI framework.

Original Blog Entry: Some progress... Kivy is installed and running.

I wrote 2 small hello world scripts. One was to test the base Kivy install, the other was to test the KivyMD install. KivyMD is a Kivy extension that allows you to use assets from Google's material design project. Cleaner, more professional looking tools and widgets, fonts, transitions, etc. Meant originally to replace the Kivy look with more pleasing GUI elements that would be found developing native android or iOS applications.

Both ran and produced the expected output.

When creating the project folder, after moving in the files that I would be starting with (.py and .csv files), I used the following git commands to set up proper version control...

1. git init

This initializes the folder to be a git repository

2. git add .

This adds all of the files to the repository

3. git commit -m Initial commit of project CHANCE

When looking at the commit history with the git log command, that will be the starting point.

Now I can work on scripts safely, able to roll back to known working points if needed, and develop sections in branches... only committing changes to the master branch when they are ready.

I did manage to get this started before the new year!... [ More ]
