Command selector
Hi all,
I would like to make a very simple whdload front-end. Just a screen listing game names (from a file) where we can navigate with arrow keys or joystick (joystick not mandatory) or type the beginning of name to place the cursor on the right line. In fact I'm searching a equivalent of "select" under linux. I made a quick search on aminet but I was not lucky. Maybe someone here might know a good app for my purpose. |

The two most obvious front-ends I can think of are KGLoad and AGS1.1 - I also made a very simple menu that scrolls down a text file list.
http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=33499 - KGload http://www.paradroid.net/ags/ - AGS - I think this is only AGS 1.0 http://amos.condor.serverpro3.com/in...pic,120.0.html - Dogs Bollocks Is this what your looking for? im not familiar with linux select.

I've been looking for something similar for a while now... no success yet
I'm using a different approach but with similar results. I have all my preinstalled games in one assigned volume 'Games:' with each game in it's own directory (courtesy of the KillerGorilla, of course). I use nifty utility called mss to open a full screen shell (with KCON: as the device) with command line completion turned on. The start-up script CD's to the Games: assign and creates an alias: alias r whdload `list quick nohead #?.slave` So if I want to play ParasolStars I just type para hit TAB (which works like a search and completes the name) then ENTER. After that it's r followed by ENTER and chicken's done 8 keystrokes... not bad |

It's ok so far but I'd like a better way. I have not tried any front-end yet, but if it's fast, maybe I'll switch to a front-end. |
