Call for LiveCode projects: LiveCode and Science at MozFest this weekend.

[Matt Maier]

I'm building an open source graph manipulation and drawing library in
Livecode. The point is for it to be modular but I'm building it to do a
specific thing right now, so it isn't all that modular. It's still young so
there's plenty of room for new ideas.

I could use help in the more official "graph" areas since I don't have any
particular background in graphs, they just turned out to be useful for my
goals. For example, I'd like to find out if it makes sense to store the
graphs in a graph database (ATM I'm just exporting the array to JSON text
files). It would also be nice to find out if an existing graph description
language will work or if I have to define my own. And, of course, there's
the fun of trying to optimize the algorithms to allow more nodes into
memory. Maybe someone knows how to just use an existing graph library from
Livecode?

Also, I'm planning to make a widget for displaying the graphs but I haven't
learned LCB yet. Someone who already knows LCB could speed that up.
