In its essence the main programming work is now done, and entering the
SWITCH . . . CASE instances for all the Unicode consortium's glyphs is going to be a bit like sorting out all these walnuts I just picked:

Tedious; and especially so as while all of them appear to be the same they all differ slightly so one cannot afford to let one's mind float off anywhere else.

I have also put some
RESIZER code into the cardScripts of the 2 cards of Sheba:Makeda so they "wax and wane" appropriately:

Obviously the
cardScript in the second card will have to be adjusted to set the stack to 1500 pixels wide so that all that
stuff in the turquoise area is no longer visible to end-users.

So I have implemented the 'L' series of syllabics:

Oh, and I have also bunged in a fontsizer slider "just for fun".
Peeling and cracking those walnuts get boring, so a bit of fun is justified:

Yeah, and sure as eggs are eggs there's a thorn in the flesh:

Basically because THIS is our first encounter with 2 consonantals + a vowel: sheer joy.

Nothing to be unduly afraid of.
Now to the "under-dotted h" sequence (note the 'w' glyph at the end):

I will NOT post images for ALL the glyphs in the basic Unicode code chart for Amharic:

But I will return with "a lot of fun" when I start work on these:

Which, as you can see, feature some fairly exotic glyphs which will involve a lot of "fun" to build in Sheba:Makeda:

I have just discovered I have missed this:

Phonetically rendered as /∫/.
So, I shall make a button for that glyph and shift all the subsequent buttons in the Base Consonantal interface to make space for it:

Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put the short name of me into XXX
delete char 1 of XXX
if shiftKey() is down then
put numToCodePoint(XXX) after fld "fOUTPUT"
else
put numToCodePoint(XXX) & (" + ") after fld "fBUILDER"
if altKey() is down then
-- do nothing
else
send "mouseUp" to img "VV"
end if
end if
end mouseUp
------
on mouseEnter
lock screen
set the coloroverlay["color"] of me to yellow
set the coloroverlay["opacity"] of me to "75"
unlock screen
put "sh" into fld "TRANS"
end mouseEnter
-------
on mouseLeave
set the outerGlow of me to empty
set the colorOverlay of me to empty
put empty into fld "TRANS"
end mouseLeave

That is the top row of consonantals implemented: enough for this weekend.

Here's a "quick-n-dirty" stack to convert Hexadecimal numbers into Decimal ones: at least it will keep the Uniocde people at an arm's distance.

I obviously got the wrong end of the stick re 'alef' and 'ayin' (mainly due to so ideas I picked up on a kibbutz 43 years ago):
-

- note.jpg (44.18 KiB) Viewed 1741 times

and those glyphs will, most probably have to be moved to the CONSONANTS group (however odd that might seem).
-
As I am NOT at home, so do NOT have access to my source stack, I will have to place the two 'things' where I have marked blue X signs:

Even if for no other reason that there are NO other spaces, AND I do feel they have to be 'offset' in some way (I shall render the buttons
with a different colour).

Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put empty into fld "SCL"
ask "Start of Unicode range in Decimal: "
put it into KOUNT
put (KOUNT - 1) into LOWEND
ask "End of Unicode range in Decimal: "
put it into LIMIT
repeat until KOUNT > LIMIT
put ("0x") & baseConvert(KOUNT, 10, 16) && KOUNT && numToCodePoint(KOUNT) into line (KOUNT - LOWEND) of fld "SCL"
add 1 to KOUNT
end repeat
end mouseUp

Actually that stack is a bit silly because it still means that anyone wanting to enter the numbers for a Unicode range has to first convert them into Decimal number, so it might not be a bad thing to modify it to accept Hexadecimal input.
But NOT before a cup of coffee.
