What is Foks ?

Foks is a KiSS viewer for linux. KiSS is a computer version of paperdolls ; you can get more information about it at the Big KiSS Page :

http://www.otakuworld.com/kiss

you'll also find hundreds of KiSS sets there, mostly of anime characters but not only.

Where does it live ?

You can find it at the following address:

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/issarlk/Foks/

What is it developped with ?

It is written in the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/sather/">GNU Sather language</a> (and some part in C), it uses Antlr for parser generation and GTK+1.2 for display. It compiles and run on an i386 Linux2.2 PC (but should be portable to other platform)

Sather is an object oriented, strongly typed language, a bit like eiffel. Way better than C and C++ (this is subjective of course)

NEW ! User interface :

to change set enter " changeset n " at the command line (it may not look like it, but it's listening to your input) n is the set number you want (0-9).

(the command line is really a way to feed fkiss action to the program, you can use it to run any fkiss action)

The executable distribution archive may contain:

libgc.so
Boehm garbage collector library, built on a AMD K6 and linux Foks need it to run, put it in your library path (see man page for ldconfig)
