Echoes from the Tadukooverse

 Tadukoo Util Alpha v.0.1 was released earlier today. It represents the first piece of software released by Tadukooverse, and the first piece of software I have personally released in over four years, so it's a major milestone for me. Tadukoo Util is a collection of useful utilities for any project. It's released under the MIT license so it's very free for anyone to use for their projects. For more information about Tadukoo Util, check out its project page . For Javadocs for Tadukoo Util, visit this page . This release represents the first release for Tadukoo Util of the following modules: Tadukoo Annotation Processor - provides @AnnotationProcessor and AnnotationUtil for making Annotations Tadukoo Lang - provides common basic utilities such as StringUtil and Tuples Tadukoo Util - provides common utilities that are more advanced, such as MultiMap, ManyToManyMap, and Throwing Functional Interfaces While the following modules are included, they should not be considered offici...

This blog post is no longer being updated for the master plan. For current info on the master plan, view the Tadukooverse Master Plan page For a while now, I've just been planning to have the first official release of Tadukoo Util  and Tadukoo Engine/Launcher  be Alpha v.0.1. I've realized that Tadukoo Util has enough plans that a higher version number would make sense, and I'm not really sure what plans I would have for either project beyond the current ones before labelling either as "official release 1.0". For both projects (along with some others I'll go over later), the first official release will be v.1.0, but the release dates won't change (not that there are any planned dates). What I mean is that the current plans for Alpha v.0.1 will become the new plans for release v.1.0 (though over time more details will be added as progress is made on them). For both projects, what this will look like is that the current plans will be split into multiple vers...

This post is part of my Java Look and Feel Journey. See this post  for more details and table of contents (and to find a proper tutorial when it's available). That post will also guide you to another tutorial on using Java's Components & Layouts, so you can make a program to actually see the Look & Feel changes. At this point in the journey, you'd only need the first post , to have a button on screen to see the changes to it, but going further in that series is fine too. This is part 8 of the "Journey" posts. Follow this link for part 1: Getting Started  or this link for the previous part: 7. Tadukoo Util Placement Apparently I dumped the old "Make Paint Great Again" post in transferring my blog posts over to this new blog. I hadn't posted it over on blogger yet, but I had definitely written it up and created the commit in Tadukoo Look & Feel for it. Unfortunately, I deleted the old blogger drafts and posts at this point, so I'm writi...

Note: This post is outdated from when this blog was on tadukooverse.github.io . Now the posts referenced to be on tadukoo.github.io are now on the other blogger site, tadukoo.blogspot.com I realized that while "Tadukoo Bible Project" does refer to an actual programming project that I've been working on, the posts I have for it are more belief-centered, so the posts will be moved to my personal blog over at https://tadukoo.github.io instead. After moving those, we're done to just around 10 posts over here, which is fine since they're more oriented for this organization than the other posts are. Tadukoo Bible Project will eventually be transferred to the Tadukooverse organization, but the belief-based posts surrounding it don't need to appear here.

Note: This post is outdated, the posts used to exist on tadukooverse.github.io , but have since been moved to this blogger site.  Today I uploaded all of my posts from tadukoo.blogspot.com to this website. Most of them probably shouldn't have been copied over, as they don't relate to the Tadukooverse organization directly. So I'll be moving most of them to a new blog I'll make at https://tadukoo.github.io (I'll modify that website eventually to be more like this one in terms of style, but have it for my own personal stuff separate from this). If you want a quick and dirty explanation of which pages will stay and which will go, here you go: To stay: Java Look & Feel and Java Components & Layouts - they detail progress on Tadukoo Look & Feel and will include proper tutorials at some point Tadukoo Bible Project - eventually the Tadukoo Bible Project stuff will be transferred to Tadukooverse, so it will be relevant eventually To Go: Any old blog update pos...

Gradients Last time I said I'd be moving the Tadukoo Look & Feel to Tadukoo Util. First of all, I had to commit FloatUtil to it, because that was just local so far (not a big deal). I decided to merge all the branches together, as they were mostly separate for Tadukoo View, which will be deprecated now. Tadukoo View is a project I was working on to make my own...
