GTK+ Forums

Hello.

I started playing with Vala this week and since the best way to learn is to write an application, I created simple vala application named sampala (and because I know you're wondering what the hell sampala means: sample vala application).

What sampala does? Nothing useful. It simply displays gauge with moving needle.

Where can you get sampala? Sources are available from GitHub. In order to compile git sources, you'll need git, automake >= 1.11 (older version won't work with my sources), autoconf, intltool (gettext), gnome-autogen.sh and vala installed along other GTK+ dependencies. After all of the prerequisites are installed, just run:
or Ubuntu users


If you're only interested in how does this application works, I also created distributable tarball. To compile this package, you'll only need normal GTK+ compile time tools (vala files in this file are already compiled into C code, so no valac is needed).

Hopefully, someone will find it useful.

Have a nice day.

Hi tadeboro
Very nice nice cairo example! Here it's so easy to make derrived widgets.
I just love vala: Less clutter, real focussing on programming, no interpreter and fast as C.
Btw, here is my vala app:
