OK! LCARS SDK

version

0.0.3 release notes

An investigation and demonstration creating okudagrams for WebView (Android) and anything that can do modern HTML/CSS rendering.

This is based on the original work from LCARS-SDK, which has some big advantages over other methods of LCARS generation.

  • No need for Flash, Java or other embedded software.
  • No need to prepare vector images. Ie. export static illustrations and load in Flash, SVG, etc.
  • Still has/can do a fully scalable interface, potentially could do Bootstrap-style responsive classes.
  • re-uses all of the HTML DOM and CSS specs; scripting, security, development tools.
  • runs on every? modern consumer OS. And by using modern web-technologies can be built into any kind of client/server, multi-screen, multi-user app as required.
