Enhancements to Kivy

Beginner Projects
|

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|

|
These projects should be suitable for anyone with a college level familiarity
|
||||||
|
with Python and require little knowedge of platform specifics.

|
software at the moment. However, it is a very popular request for more
|
||||||
|
updates among our users; if you are interested in GUI tool development

The second part of the same project would involve font fallback support.

this could be a great fit for you!

If a particular character/glyph is missing; currently we show a [] box.
|
|

The solution for this would involve either using an OS API if available

The Student will:
|
||||||
or maintaining a hashtable for the default fonts on each OS which can be
|
|
||||||
used for glyph fallback.
|
- Integrate Buildozer, which is our build tool for deploying to different
|
||||||
|
target OS, within the kivy-designer.
|
||||||
|
- Interface for using hanga.io (Remote Buildozer server) as a deployment
|
||||||
|
target.
|
||||||
|
- Better File management for project files. Browser Pane.
|
||||||
|
- Interface to test using different screen modules, for emulating interface
|
||||||
|
on different screen sizes.
|
||||||
|
- Interface to Select different targets, simulator or actual device if
|
||||||
|
connected to deploy to.
|
||||||
|
- Add mobile specific UI fixes(mostly making sure UI looks and feels the
|
||||||
|
same on tablets as on desktops)
|
||||||
|
- Work on stability fixes.

Expected outcome:
|

Font fallback and text reshaping support Kivy and correct compilation
|
It is expected that the student be able to complete all the features
|

recipes for the libs used (harfbuzz) for platforms(Android and iOS) that
|
mentioned above; except stability fixes which is dependent on however much
|
||||||
need it, such as Python-For-Android.
|
time is left after completing the rest of the features.

|
|

|
Description:
|
||||||
|
More advanced graphing and plotting tools are a frequently requested
|
||||||
|
addition to Kivy, and it would be ideal to provide them via integration
|
||||||
|
with matplotlib's extensive feature set. The primary goal of the project
|
||||||
|
would be to write a Kivy backend to matplotlib that displays plots using
|
||||||
|
Kivy's own graphics API, but it would also involve ensuring that
|
||||||
|
matplotlib is deployable on every platform Kivy supports.

These projects will involve more than just pure Python coding. You may find

yourself either dealing with the details of cross platform compilation or

working with communicating between Python and an API in a different language.

Hard Projects
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
These projects may involve very indepth knowledge of Kivy's existing internals,
|
||||||
|
the hairy details of cross-platform compilation, or other fairly advanced
|
||||||
|
topics. If you are comfortable with the internals of Python, working with C
|
||||||
|
code, and using Cython to build your own C extensions these projects may
|
||||||
|
appeal to you.
