I challenge you to code a GUI without ever debugging or running the project. The only time you may run the project is once you believe it is done, but once it is run you may not go back and edit the code anymore. Also you can't use any extra libraries or tools to create the GUI other than what is included in Java. Once you are done feel free to post a screenshot to show everyone what it looks like.
Okay.
1. Build a javafx 2 application that hot-reloads the layout whenever it detects a change from an outside program.
2. Run the application without ever needing to go back to the applicaiton code.
3. Modify the layout file with
javafx scene builder.
4. Iterate until satisfied.
5. ???
6. Profit.
People act like when they are coding a GUI they don't constantly keep checking to see if the positioning is correct for the text, buttons, sprites etc. The whole point it to create a "Good" looking GUI without debugging your code than simply post a picture
I don't know why that is so hard for you ignorant people to understand. Someone please just delete this thread, nothing but complete idiots on here.
Haha, you're funny.
This is because GUIs and other resources have moved from being hard coded to script code -- making for faster testing and faster iteration.
There's no need to build the entire project because you want to move a stupid pane three pixels to the right.
