Your First Program

[Lobster]

UPDATE: Go to the third post in this thread for an easier example


YAP is designed to be altered so you can support your interest
I will take you through the steps required to change it for your needs
If you are a complete noob, try the LIT program (3rd post in this thread)
which has no sub-directories and is even simpler to follow . . .
Look at the code and see if it makes sense.
code is separated by <beginning> and <end beginning blocks>
eg. <action> </action>
YAP will enable you to have a program with sound and flash files
and info (help) all with pull down menus . . .
It really is easy . . .
LIT is even simpler and allows you to customise each puppy and puplet

You can download YAP here
http://tmxxine.com/wik/wikka.php?wakka=YapInfo
and the complete code is in the YAP file which you can edit
by right clicking on it and selecting 'open as text'


1. Everything after a # is a comment - so we will leave that
2. We are going to change a menu item (in this case a wav file
in the directory sound - the file is called cyberspace_1.wav
In the menu we can change Cyberspace Blessing 1
to my_rant.wav (that is your wav file which you put in the sound directory which the package comes with)

Code: Select all

         <menuitem>
             <label>Cyberspace Blessing 1</label>
              <action>wavplay sound/cyberspace_1.wav &</action>
         </menuitem>

3. You can do the same with all the wav files, add news or have fewer
(I used wav because it is most reliable over the max number of Puppy versions)

Now we are going to look at changing a swf (flashfile) in the second menu
This is the code:

Code: Select all

     <menuitem>
            <action>defaultbrowser file://`pwd`/videos/mudra.swf &</action>
            <label>Mudra meditation</label>
            <action>exit</action>
         </menuitem>

1. We can easily change the label from

Code: Select all

       <label>Mudra meditation</label>

to

Code: Select all

 <label>My flash file</label>

2. the mudra.swf can be changed to your file myfile.swf
from

Code: Select all

<action>defaultbrowser file://`pwd`/videos/mudra.swf &</action>

to

Code: Select all

<action>defaultbrowser file://`pwd`/videos/myfile.swf &</action>

3. Your myfile.swf file is placed in the videos subdirectory

this will get you off to a good start . . .

Hey Lobster

nice idea, but from a noobie perspective, though I didn't try

that is your wav file which you put in the sound directory

was where you lost me

I don't know where the directories you are talking about, are

bit more basic info, perhaps?

other than that, noble effort

Hi Aitch,

Look at the below code and see if that makes more sense
(no subdirectories)

• Right click with Rox
  Create a new script and replace with the enclosed code
  Click on the file to run

Transmogrified the program to change the usage . . .
"LIT" is basically an installer of popular packages for the Pupeee puplet
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 844#185844

Lit should also work with Lassie and Dingo with minor mods
which are easy to do
