Event Broadcast Model Saved My Marriage

Not really, but I’ve been reading up on how it’s used in NeatTools, both from EJ’s Thesis, and from an analysis done by Rob Salgado.  I’ve tried to replicate it to the best of my abilities within my code, and while it’s still a work in progress, it’s already done two things for my program.  First I’ve lost a bunch of code (in a good way).  I don’t have custom methods for every module.  Everyone contains three in common which power their interaction. engine(), broadcast(), and access() which makes for more universal communication.  Second, it’s fixed the functionality of a couple of modules, LED and Integer.  By forcing me to restructure how data is flowing and doing it more closely to how NeatTools does it, the behaviors have become more accurate.  I’ve also fixed the Integer box text formatting problem.  The strange number problem was to do with using integers larger than 32 bits.  Anyway, here it is, essentially the same but much work done under the hood.

  1. This works as I’d expect.

    It might be nice to be able to use the up and down arrows to make a number box increment or decrement.
