[haXe] Arctic 0.4.0 uploaded - with dynamic GUI, custom cursors & tooltips

[Asger Ottar Alstrup]

Hi,

I've just uploaded version 0.4.0 of Arctic. See code.google.com/p/arctic/ to
learn about arctic.

New in this release:

- Initial dynamic GUI support. See examples/DynamicExample.hx for a simple
example (no animation yet).

- Custom cursors - you can use an Arctic block as a cursor for any arctic
block

- Tooltips. To illustrate how Arctic works, the tooltips are implemented as
a one line helper:

    static public function makeTooltip(block : ArcticBlock, text : String) :
ArcticBlock {
        return Cursor(block, Offset(-30, -20, Background(0xFFFCA9, Border(5,
5, Text(wrapWithDefaultFont(text))), 100, 3)), true);
    }

In other words, a tooltip is implemented as a custom cursor on the block.
The cursor itself is the tooltip, which is positioned in an offset from the
block, has a filled, rounded yellow background behind a text.

There are still some bugs left (see todo.txt), but I think Arctic is ready
for a little more real life use now in order to get feedback on the
interface and missing features.

Regards,
Asger
