I wrote ook in python, but damn me if it wasn't fucking hard to install all of the crap that it needs for ook to run. This is a program fro designing kites, and people who design kites do not want to be ass mongering around downloading and installing so many libraries.

Sorry Python - too complex.

So I've been thinking about a re-write. I initially thought C# cos I use it here at work, but that means almost a total re-write of all the code.

Should I move ook to dot net? I can't decide. I am very interested in mono as it is a free dot net implementation and cross platform... But it doesn't as of yet support windows forms.

Because I use C# all day at work it seems the obvious choice. So, I'll need the following:

• OpenGL - for the 3D view of the kite
• PDF printing
• Graph control (or NPlot)to show the profiles.

Update:

Yay! Woop-woop. Got dot net installed and started hacking a bit of code together. Got a kite up in 3D... but more importantly, what am I going to call this application? Ook? Ook2? Eeek? Ook-ook-eeeek?

In my head I'm hearing this Donkey Kong ( for the N64 ) scream as he plays the bongo's. 'Eeeeek.'

Update:

OpenGL lighting.
Projecting an image onto a 3D shape. Would this help in projecting the cut lines onto the kite?
