Stylus2X

I created a project called

Stylus2X on sourceforge

The aim of this project is to provide some applications with built-in keyboard support (virtual onscreen keyboard).

Project Goals

Virtual Keyboards

This is an onscreen keyboard you can use the stylus on to simulate keystrokes, i provide to versions:

one compact using little screen real-estate, to be used with the stylus.

one much larger, that you can easily use with your fingers.

Built-in Apps

A shell (bash) - 90% done

A music player - TBD

An application launcher - TBD

A GP2X monitor (battery, CPU) - TBD

Installation

First you will need to download python/pygame for GP2X

http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,14,917
Simply open that archive and extract it to the root of your SD card (so thatthe "python" folder is at the root of the SD)

Then download Stylus2X from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=232381 and extract it on your SD card.

Credits

A big thanks to those opensource/GPL apps i made good use of in this project:

Python/Pygame for GP2X (for whoever ported it)

http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/Pygame

The Pexpect package, making the python process management much easier, as well as providing ANSI screen support for python.

Eric Meyers, who took the time to provide a good example on how to use the Pexpect Ansi.py code.

The Gnome BitStream VeraBD Monospace font, which look great ona small screen like the GP2X

Mutagen, which allows easy but powerful access to music metadata in python.
