Graphic Counter Language is a powerful programming language for the creation of
|
|
graphic and textual counters and timers. These can be used on the web, as well
|
|
as in graphic application programs (such as XWindow applications) which can
|
|
call the GCL interpeter internally and have it create a counter or a timer.
|
|
|
|
Gracula is the compiler/interpreter for Graphic Counter Language, developed
|
|
under FreeBSD, though usable on any Unix system.
|
|
|
|
For details about the language, visit GCL home page (www.whizkidtech.net/gcl/)
|
|
as well as Count Gracula's Gallery (www.whizkidtech.net/gcl/gallery) which
|
|
contains a number of sample GCL scripts and showcases various counter designs.
|
|
|
|
GCL requires no configuration files. All you provide is graphic images and
|
|
simple scripts. Optionally, you may link the images directly into the gracula
|
|
executable. GCL can also receive input from external programs. A sample program
|
|
is included (sec2000). It allows the creation of GCL counters to display the
|
|
number of seconds (or minutes, hours, days) left till the Year 2000.
|
|
|
|
Gracula is written in C and highly optimized for speed which makes it work
|
|
reliably even on the busiest web sites.
