Start the GUI?

[FrankBro]

Is the GUI you've used in your different presentations available somewhere? I see that there is a gui folder in this repo but I can't seem to start it. Fairly new to racket.

Interestingly, I did raco pkg install pie and I do see some dependencies named containing the word gui but can't seem to start it.

Thank you.

Oh wow, seems to start when doing gracket gui/main.rkt. However, it takes minutes before the window appears. Is this normal?

The GUI code is not really in a state where it's usable by someone who isn't me, at least not without more support than I currently have time to provide. I'd like to eventually get it cleaned up and documented to the point that it can be an official part of Pie, but it's not there yet.

I'd be happy to send you the source code to a talk, which might be a good starting point, but I'm afraid that right now I'm too busy to do much more than that.

I don't think that the slow startup is normal. Try doing a raco make in each subdirectory to make sure the precompiled files are up to date with the source code and see if that makes it faster.
