Feelin is a new object-oriented system (OOS) for the AmigaOS. It provides two things: a small, fast and powerful core shared library, offering everything needed to create a strong object-oriented environnement; and an extensible system to create and maintain graphical user interfaces.

I created Feelin, because I was fed up with others GUI toolkits available on AmigaOS. You may say "have you ever heard about MUI ?". Well, yes :-) But, although MUI is a very attractive choice, it severely lacks of modern features and protection. MUI is not an object-oriented system on its own. Built on BOOPSI, it suffers from its limitations.

Give it a try ! Visit Feelin's web site for further information...

Hi all !

I am the author of Feelin. This comment tries to be a reply to everybody.

My goal, creating Feelin was to offer a new object-oriented system to the AmigaOS. The GUI part comes after. MUI is NOT an object-oriented system, it's just an object-oriented GUI based on the object-oriented system BOOPSI. I don't care being in competition with MUI, because most people just don't want to change standards (think about W*ndows...). I have no illusion about that. But comparing BOOPSI to Feelin is like comparing the sea to the ocean :-) Seriously, BOOPSI is VERY limited and MUI suffers from these limitations.

I am not familiar with MorphOS nor AmigaOS4 because I don't have a PPC computer (somebody generous ? :-). I just own an A1200 running at 28Mhz with 4Mo, which I use to develop (the MMU is not available under WinUAE). I just adore my Amiga (12 years now :-). I also use WinUAE on my PC for testing purpose. If anyone wants to port Feelin on PPC just write me, I'll be glad to release some sources.

I have created Feelin for fun. She cannot be compared to object-oriented systems on Amiga, because most of them are very old and seriously limited. And that is a fact, MUI is NOT an object-oriented system.


The GUI part is not as complete as MUI, because I focused a lot on the system part. But she is still pretty good : inheritance of colors, fonts, background; Very dynamic layout (fonts can be modified at any time); HTML markups supported to format text, and no just the simpliest; windows decorators; extremely configurable... The GUI part is just ONE of the many possilities offered by Feelin. And because you can look at it, it makes Feelin more interresting than a f*cking object-oriented system.

I hope I didn't sound rude, english is not that easy for me :-) But I'll be glad to work with people on MorphOS or AmigaOS4. Any proposition, suggestion, comment is welcomed !
