Ok, let me explain what each file does in brief, (in http://svn.dimuthu.org/organic_chemistry/Organic_Reaction_Simulator/)

engine.cpp – Doing initializing and handle events (like mouse events, paint events)
Bitmap.cpp – handle creating and rendering images

Note that above two files are taken from a Game development book which i can’t recall now.

Canvas.cpp – The drawing canvas + IUPAC naming generation (Yea that code need to be kept in a separate file)
ControlBox.cpp – The control box of the drawing canvas

FileParser.cpp – The parser for configuration xml + the reaction invocation code (This code too needed to be moved to a separate class)

Paper.cpp – The canvas in the main panel (startup window)
SideBar.cpp – The control box in the main panel.

I’ve been going through the code, and I’m interested in creating a python or C# port.. the GUI code isn’t much of a problem but i don’t have experience with trees and stuff. I can’t find the code that manages the chemical species structure internally. That would be of a great help if possible. Thanks

Hi,
One option is to go through the code. But I don’t guarantee that the code is much readable.
Best thing is to read some Windows GUI (Mostly MFC or C#) and learn GUI programming. Then you can write the necessary logic which should be anyway you have to think and write yourself.

Thanks for this great software! Need it for my GCE Examinations, was thinking of writing it myself as i couldn’t find stuff.

Do you have any tips on how to write such software or is it best for me to learn by going through c++ source? I’m not very familiar with the language.
