Namespaces?
Are we meant to do this task taking into account the namespaces for X3D and SMIL, or are we doing this in namespace-free form? –Donal Fellows 14:27, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- When I have written this taks I thought it would be very easy to implement, and it is indeed quite easy but it requires more code that what I thought. If you look at the OCaml implementation it requires about 240 lines of code, I thought at the beginning that it could be done with half of this. So IMHO I would suggest to keep the task as simple as possible (so without namespaces).
- Also maybe I'm wrong but it seems that the SMIL examples I have seen are without namespace (or maybe it was to keep the examples simple).
- Also from my point of view the task is mainly about storing geometry and animation to a file, and loading and playing it into OpenGL (or Directx or else), and not about XML parsing, so perhaps we could consider keeping it not too strict. (If I chose to use real formats with specs and not a fake format it was to make the task also a bit pedagogical, so people can have a little taste of X3D and SMIL)
- But this is only a suggestion, as you have seen I have written the task as a draft, so if you have suggestions to modify the task I would be happy to talk about it.
