in reply to Re^2: RFC: Language::Logo
in thread RFC: Language::Logo

I had an itch and had to scratch it so I implemented brackets, a repeat command, and a rudimentary ability to define user functions. In order to do most of this I moved the command parsing code to the server itself which means user defined functions are available to any connected clients! ;)

Drawing a circle now:

pendown; repeat 35 [left 10; forward 10;];

Making a circle function:

to circle [ repeat 35 [ left 10; forward 10;]]; circle;

I'm not sure what the best way is to get you the changes so I've attached the entire modified version.

The Canvas ob +ject is also referred to as the "screen". The first construction of a Language::Logo object causes a server to b +e created in a separate process; this server then creates a Tk GUI with +a Tk::Canvas for use by the client's "turtle", and responds to all reque +sts from the client's commands. In this way, multiple clients may be cons +tructed simultaneously -- each one with its own "turtle". In this first release, not all of the Logo language is implemented. Rather, the primary commands available are those which directly affect the turtle, and are related to drawing on the screen. The intent is t +o use the Logo in conjunction with Perl as a sort of "hybrid" language; Perl us used as the higher-level language layer through which all loop constructs, conditionals, and data-manipulation is done. This allows for a substantial level of programming power. =head2 Methods =over 4 =item I<PACKAGE>->new([I<param> => I<value>, [I<param> => I<value>, .. +.]]) Returns a newly created C<Language::Logo> object. No arguments are re +quired, but the following are allowed (each of which must be accompanied by a +value): =item verbose I<0 or 1> a zero value turns verbose mode off (the default); a nonzero value tur +ns verbose mode on. When verbose mode is on, certain server events cause output to be displayed to the terminal, such as new client connections +, and client connections which have closed. =item name I<client name> the name of the current client. (The default is a uniquely generated +name; this parameter is not currently used, but may be used in the future to + force synchronization between clients in a multiple-client scenario). =item title I<main window title> the title of the Tk window (the default is the name and current versio +n number of the module). =item bg I<background color> the starting background color of the screen (the default is black). =item width I<screen width> the starting width of the screen (the default is 512 pixels). =item height I<screen height> the starting height of the screen (the default is 512 pixels). =item update I<update interval> the starting update value for controlling the number of milliseconds t +o delay before reentering Tk's idle loop. The fastest is therefore a va +lue of 1 (which updates up to 1000 times per second). =item host I<server address> the host computer where the server is running (the default is to use t +he server on the local machine). If the host is on a remote machine, it +is assumed that the remote machine has already constructed at least one Language::Logo object which is currently running its own local server. =item port I<server port> the port at which to connect to the server (the default is port 8220). =back =item I<$OBJ>->disconnect([I<message>]) =over 4 Disconnects from the server. If a message is supplied, the user is prompted with the message, and the program waits until a newline is typed before disconnecting. This is especially useful if the client is the only one (or last one) connected; in which case the server will also exit upon disconnect. =item I<$OBJ>->interact() Enters interactive mode, whereby the user can issue Logo commands one-at-a-time. Queries may also be used to retrieve various informati +on about the state of the current client's object. =item I<$OBJ>->query([I<param>, I<param> ...]) Sends a Logo query command to the server, asking for the values of the specified parameters (or all parameters, if none are listed). A list containing the parameter names and their values is returned. =item I<$OBJ>->command(I<command string>) =item I<$OBJ>->cmd(I<command string>) Sends a Logo command to the server. Multiple commands may be sent at +the same time by inserting a semi-colon ';' between them. Upon successful completion of a command, all of the turtle-related parameters (eg. x and y coordinates, angle, pen state, etc.) are returned in a hash, where the keys are the parameters, and the corresponding values are the parameters' values. If the key 'error' is defined, its value is an error string indicating what was incorrect with the command. The following commands are available: =over 4 =item "noop" (no arguments) The "noop" command is simply a way to retrieve the parameter/value has +h without performing any other operation. =item "background" or "bg" (1 argument) Sets the background color of the screen. Colors must be valid Tk colo +rs, specified either by name ("blue") or hex triplet ("#0000ff"). For exa +mple, "background orange". =item "backward" or "bk" (1 argument) Moves the turtle backwards the specified number of pixels. If the pen + is down, a line is drawn with the current color and pensize. For example +, "backward 100". [Contrast "forward"] =item "clear" or "cs" (no arguments) Clears the screen entirely. =item "color" or "co" (1 argument) Changes the current turtle color to the specified color. Both the tur +tle and any items drawn by the turtle (when the pen is down) will appear i +n this color. For example, "color white". =item "forward" or "fd" (1 argument) Moves the turtle forwards the specified number of pixels. If the pen +is down, a line is drawn with the current color and pensize. For example, "for +eward 100". [Contrast "backward"] =item "height" or "h " (1 argument) Changes the current screen height to the specified number of pixels. Note that, as this change applies to the Tk Canvas, it affects all clients which are connected to the server. For example, "height 768". [Contrast "width"] =item "hideturtle" or "ht" (no arguments) Makes the turtle invisible. Note that this is unrelated to the curren +t state of the pen; lines will still be drawn or not, depending on wheth +er the pen is up or down. [Contrast "showturtle"] =item "home" or "hm" (no arguments) Puts the turtle in its original location, at the center of the screen, + with a heading of due North (0 degrees). =item "left" or "lt" (1 argument) Rotates the turtle to the left by the specified angle, given in degree +s. Thus, an angle of 90 degrees will make an exact left turn; an angle of 180 degrees will make the turtle face the opposite direction. For exa +mple, "left 45". [Contrast "right"] =item "pendown" or "pd" (no arguments) Changes the state of the turtle's "pen" so that subsequent movements o +f the turtle will draw the corresponding lines on the screen. As a visual c +ue, the turtle will appear with a circle drawn around the current point. [Contrast "penup"] =item "pensize" or "ps" (1 argument) Changes the width of the turtle's "pen" to the given number of pixels, + so that subsequent drawing will be done with the new line width. =item "penup" or "pu" (no arguments) Changes the state of the turtle's "pen" so that subsequent movements o +f the turtle will no longer result in lines being drawn on the screen. As a + visual cue, the turtle will appear -without- the circle drawn around the curr +ent point. [Contrast "pendown"] =item "right" or "rt" (1 argument) Rotates the turtle to the left by the specified angle, given in degree +s. Thus, an angle of 90 degrees will make an exact right turn; an angle o +f 180 degrees will make the turtle face the opposite direction. For exa +mple, "right 135". [Contrast "left"] =item "seth" or "sh" (1 argument) Changes the turtle's heading to the specified angle. The angle given +is an absolute angle, in degrees, representing the clockwise spin relativ +e to due North. Thus, a value of 0 is due North, 90 is due East, 180 is du +e South, and 270 is due West. For example, "seth 225". =item "setx" or "sx" (1 argument) Changes the turtle's x-coordinate to the specified pixel location on t +he screen, without changing the value of the current y-coordinate. The v +alue given is an absolute location, not one related to the previous positio +n. If the pen is down, a line will be drawn from the old location to the +new one. For example, "setx 128". [Contrast "sety", "setxy" ] =item "setxy" or "xy" (2 arguments) Changes the turtle's x and y coordinates to the specified pixel locati +ons on the screen, without changing the value of the current x-coordinate. The first argument is the new x-coordinate, the second the new y-coord +inate. The position of the new point represents an absolute location, not one + related to the previous position. If the pen is down, a line will be drawn fr +om the old location to the new one. For example, "setxy 10 40". [Contrast " +setx", "sety" ] =item "sety" or "sy" (1 argument) Changes the turtle's y-coordinate to the specified pixel location on t +he screen, without changing the value of the current x-coordinate. The v +alue given is an absolute location, not one related to the previous positio +n. If the pen is down, a line will be drawn from the old location to the +new one. For example, "sety 256". [Contrast "setx", "setxy" ] =item "showturtle" or "st" (no arguments) Makes the turtle visible. Note that this is unrelated to the current +state of the pen; lines will still be drawn or not, depending on whether the + pen is up or down. [Contrast "hideturtle"] =item "update" or "ud" (1 argument) Changes the current update value which controls the number of millisec +onds to delay before reentering Tk's idle loop. A value of 1000 is the slowes +t; it will cause a delay of 1 second between updates. A value of 1 is the f +astest, it will make the Tk window update up to 1000 times each second. =item "width" or "w " (1 argument) Changes the current screen width to the specified number of pixels. Note that, as this change applies to the Tk Canvas, it affects all clients which are connected to the server. For example, "width 1024". [Contrast "height"] =item "wrap" (1 argument) Changes the screen "wrap" type on a per-client basis, to the specified argument, which must be a value of 0, 1 or 2. See L<WRAP TYPES> below for more detailed information. =back =back =head1 RANDOM VALUES Some of the commands can take as an argument the word "random", poss +ibly followed by more arguments which modify the random behavior. For ex +ample, the command "color random" chooses a new random color for the pen, w +hereas "seth random 80 100" sets the turtle heading to a random angle betwe +en 80 and 100 degrees. The number of arguments following "random" depend on the context: angles ........ 2 arguments (mininum angle, maximum angle) distances ..... 2 arguments (minimum distance, maximum distance) other ......... no arguments =head1 WRAP TYPES The parameter 'wrap' defines the behavior that occurs when the turtle's destination point is outside of the display window. The allowable values for wrap are: 0: Normal "no-wrap" behavior 1: Toroidal "round-world" wrap 2: Reflective wrap Consider the following diagram: +---------------o---------------+ | /| (xb0,yb0) | | <C> / | | / | | | (x2,y2) o | | [wrap = 1] | | | | | [wrap = 2] | | | (x3,y3) o @ (x0,y0) | | \ | / | | <D> \ / <A> | | \|/ | +---------------o---------------+ / (xb1,yb1) <B> / / (x1,y1) @ [wrap = 0] Point (x0,y0) represents the current location of the turtle, and (x1,y1) the destination point. Since the destination is outside of the display window, the behavior of both the turtle and the drawn line will be governed by the value of the 'wrap' parameter. Since line segment <A> is in the visible window, it will be drawn in all cases. Since line segment <B> is outside of the visible window, it will not be visible in all cases. When (wrap == 0), only line segment <A> will be visible, and the turtle, which ends up at point (x1,y1), will NOT. When (wrap == 1), the window behaves like a torus, so that line segment <B> "wraps" back into the window at the point (xb0,yb0). Thus line segments <A> and <C> are visible, and the turtle ends up at point (x2,y2). When (wrap == 2), the borders of the window are reflective, and line segment <B> "reflects" at the point (xb1,yb1). Thus line segments <A> and <D> are visible, and the turtle ends up at the point (x3,y3). =head1 EXAMPLES The following programs show some of the various ways to use the Language::Logo object. ################################# ### Randomly-colored designs ### ################################# use Language::Logo; my $lo = new Logo(title => "Logo Demonstration"); $lo->command("update 2; color random; pendown; hideturtle"); for (my $i = 1; $i < 999; $i++) { my $distance = $i / 4; $lo->command("forward $distance; right 36.5"); $lo->command("color random") if not ($i % 50); } $lo->disconnect("Type [RETURN] to finish..."); ################################################ ### Randomly placed "rings" of random widths ### ################################################ use Language::Logo; my $lo = new Logo(title => "Random rings", update => 5); $lo->cmd("wrap 1"); # Toroidal wrap while (1) { $lo->cmd("pu; sx random 1 512; sy random 1 512; pd; co random" +); $lo->cmd("pensize random 1 32"); my $dist = 5 + (rand(50)); for (my $i = 0; $i <= 360; $i += $dist) { $lo->cmd("fd $dist; rt $dist"); } } ################################### ### Fullscreen "frenetic Lines" ### ################################### use Language::Logo; my $lo = new Logo(width => 1024, height => 768, update => 3); # Change "1" to "2" for reflection instead of torus $lo->cmd("wrap 1"); $lo->cmd("setx random 0 800"); # Choose random x-coordinate $lo->cmd("sety random 0 800"); # Choose random y-coordinate $lo->cmd("rt random 0 360"); # Make a random turn $lo->cmd("pd"); # Pen down $lo->cmd("ht"); # Hide turtle my $size = 1; # Starting pen size while (1) { if (++$size > 48) { $size = 1; # Reset the size $lo->cmd("cs"); # Clear the screen } $lo->cmd("ps $size"); # Set the pensize $lo->cmd("color random"); # Random color $lo->cmd("fd 9999"); # Move the turtle $lo->cmd("rt random 29 31"); # Turn a random angle } =head1 BUGS The following items are not yet implemented, but are intended to be addressed in a future version of the library: =over 4 =item * There is no provision for compiling "pure" Logo language code. Such capabilities as loops, conditionals, and subroutines must be handled in the calling Perl program. =item * There is no way to change the processing speed on a per-client basis. =item * There is no way to synchronize multiple clients to wait for one anothe +r. =item * There are still some commands which do not support a "random" paramete +r ("setxy" and "background", for example). =item * There is currently no analog command to "setxy" ("offxy" ?) which chan +ges the position of the turtle's location I<relative> to the current point +, as opposed to setting it absolutely. =item * It would be nice to be able to draw things other than lines; for examp +le ovals, polygons, etc. It would also be nice to be able fill these wit +h a given "fill" color. =item * There needs to be a way to save the current screen to a file (eg. as PostScript). =head1 AUTHOR John C.
