Hi

Some months ago (at DragonBox Competition time) i was searching for a light (and easy to port) CAD program to run on Pandora.

I've choised Leocad http://www.leocad.org/trac because its relatively light and it's GUI is Pandora friendly.

I have builded with latest Codeblocks PND (by ptitseb ;) ) and its using MESA GL libs to run.

I'm not a CAD user or expert, instead i never used such kind of progs.

For what i have tested (not much i must admit) seems to work with relatively good speed (tested on my CC Pandora @ 600Mhz) with simple pieces.

I know that saving image  work but don't produce valid files, maybe it's related to MESA-GL libs, i don't know for sure.

Please test and report

If i find more free time (and motivations) i might try to rebuild using Lunixbochs GL libs, or (maybe) try to port to opengles, but don't know for sure.

Good work Farox,

It's fun to play with this little gem.

Is there a way to maximize the window to have more real estate?
 
That's really a nice program.

I don't really see any use for it but it's surely nice to design some Lego stuff.

Had a lot Lego stuff in my childhood. :)
 
Thanks guys.

I have added some more shots in this thread.

Is there a way to maximize the window to have more real estate?
Don't know how, is possible to hide/show the pieces library but doing so the prog crash.

Will be interesting to include the animation toolbar with the other so to gain some more space, and also implement a floating window for the color selector too, but is out of my skills
