A Word from the Author:

Hi Guys,

I hope you will enjoy using this software. For the young budding software developers who need to be pointed in the right direction. Note that this cube uses the following API's :

- MAPI
- TAPI
- POOM Both C++ and C#
- EdgeLib Framework

I used MSDN2 examples and many internet articles to become more familiar with C++. I also referred to the Edgelib Library Reference to make the most use of it. The cube is made of 5 3D Models, NOT 1. Each face is a 3D Model and they all move in unison to appear as a solid cube. If I hadn't mentioned that you would have never known the visual difference. Each face has 4 vertices and is made of 2 polygons each. The polygons are made up buy 3 vertices. Using the Normals will determine in which direction the 3D Model menu will face...ie. outside the cube or inside. I created a GIANORMOUS Input function that detects screen swipes and screen taps. When dealing with different modules like accessing contacts numbers I made sure that they were in their own function to reduce code ambiguity.

This program took 1 month to make from start to finish and contains over 3000 lines of code....not your typical hello world app hey?...lolol.

Best wishes to all that supported the project and hope to wow you again soon!

Regards,

Slither2006.

Know Issues:

Bugs Found:

• Background Picture bleeding on some applications that open.
• The WHOLE SCLPC++ Folder MUST be placed here : /Application Data/SCLPC++ or adding a contact WILL NOT WORK!
• Because of an absolute path in the cube it must be stored on the device not on a SD card....although you can configure it on the Device then transfer it to your SD card and it has been reported to work this way.
• Start Menu disappears when a program is not specified in the ProgramList.ini i.e. MainAppPath1 = "" (BUG FIXED)
• Contact Pics only show a partly filled contact face button when choosing a contact that has an Outlook contact picture....contact contact...lolol. (BUG FIXED)
• Can't easily specify to open a specific folder to open in file explorer using the cube. (BUG FIXED)
• Slight size/scalse distortion on the first and last frame of ALL animations. (BUG FIXED)
• Rotation Animation starts after the cube zooms out. (BUG FIXED)
• SCLPC++ opens up multiple instances of itself on some devices. Please post which devices guys.

Still Left ToDo:

• Compile this with the Full Edgelib Library!!!

Supported Devices List:

• Wizard G3
• Hermes

Thanks Guys!,

I'm currently waiting on a response from a moderator at edglib's forum to help me out with getting a transperancy effect when opening the cube.

Hey Slither, I see you're at it again. Could you give us some idea how this Cube will be different/comparable to the HTC Cube by Kona_mtbkr, or the advantages/disadvantages of this cube over your flash cube?

[sim2dread]

Thanks for your answer on the other forum.
I keep checking to see if the WM6 Version is uploaded.
I will also donate to the project.

[punkcell]

like your work, just donated

[galenmd]

Donated (again)!

Slither, I am a little confused by your To Do list (particularly the Launch feature). Is this cube functional at it's current state, or is it just for show?

This is not to answer your questions I would just want to outline what seem to work on mine and join you in asking for clarification.
I saw it as a Demo and the only functions it allows me is open/close/minimize/rotate.
I am guessing that without an available .INI/.Txt or ConfigTool there is no way to get it to do other stuff right?

One more donation heading your way Slither.

You did a great job on the flash version and I'm sure your new version will be even better.
