The app is build with gradle. To run the app, go to the project directory and execute ./gradlew run.
The application uses TornadoFX library. At first glance this is just wrapper around JavaFX for Kotlin. But there is really more cool stuff if you go deeper!
Personally I liked so much, how expressive the syntax of this library. It is really easy to understand. Also, it uses so much Kotlin-specific features, so I got the impression, that you even can learn Kotlin, using this library.
Just take a look, how it used the cumbersome JavaFX builders and converted it to elegant expressive syntax like
stackpane {
recatngle {
width = 180.0
}
circle {
radius = 60.0
}
}It has very smooth leaning curve and yet it is at least as powerful as JavaFX.
So I decided to use this library – it is very cool 👍.
