list of game names, it displays a tiled view of thumbnails (one for each
game).



Test7 is a multi emulator frontend.
Instead of a list of game names, it displays a tiled view of thumbnails (one
for each game).

It's based on the library "Slick" (http://slick.cokeandcode.com)
and use the Apache Batik SVG Toolkit (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/).

The font is in the AngelCode font file format
(http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/) :
Texture in 512x512x32 png file format and font descriptor in text file
format.

The config file is in JSON format (http://www.json.org)

To start the front-end (requires Java version 6 at least):
java -jar test7.jar

At launch, Test7 unzips the necessary natives libraries in the current
directory.

If it doesn't exist, Test7 creates a template config file test7.json

The config files is divided in three parts:
- display
- emulators
- games

Summary of the display configuration:
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Required:
- screenWidth and screenHeight : sizes in pixels of the screen.
- fullscreen : true/false.
- nbColumns and nbRows : number of thumbnails displayed on a page.

Optionnal: (value by default)
- rotate (0): rotate the display.
-1 = -90°; 1 = +90°; 0 = no rotation.
- percentRowSpacing and percentColumnSpacing (0%):
blank space between thumbnail's rows and columns
in percent of the screen size.
- keyDelay (500ms): time in ms for key repetition.
- pageScrollTime (300ms): time in ms of the
page-scrolling effect.
- cursorMoveTime (100ms): time in ms for the cursor
to move from one thumbnail to another.
- zoomTime (100ms): time in ms of the zoom
effect.
- svgMaskFilename (test7/mask.svg) : filename of the
svg file used as a mask on each thumbnail.
- svgDecorationFilename (test7/decoration.svg) :
filename of the svg file used as a translucent
decoration over each thumbnail.
- svgCursorFilename (test7/cursor.svg) :
filename of the svg file used as a cursor.
If the svg contains an animation then the cursor
will be animated.
- percentCursorScale (150%) : scale of
the cursor compare to a cell.
A cell is the available screen surface divided by
the number of columns and rows.
- fontFilename (test7/font21.fnt) : filename of the
AngelCode font file (the texture file with the
same name but a .png extension is loaded too).
- backgroundFilename (test7/background.png) : filename of the image
pattern used to fill the background.
- stretchBackgroundImage (false) : true/false;
Strech the background image to fill the screen
without the need to repeat the image.
- multiThread (true): true/false; By default Test7
loads the thumbnails in a separate thread. So you
can start your navigation through the games while
the thumbnails are loaded. But it seems there's a
bug which sometimes freezes the application
(occures in fullscreen with Vista).

Emulators:
""""""""""
- id : reference used in the game part.
- command : command used to start the emulator (with options if needed).
Exemple: "c:/temp/znes/zsnesw.exe -m" to start the
ZNES emulator in command line mode.
- romsDirectory : directory containing the roms of this emulator.
- picturesDirectory : directory containing the pictures used to create
the thumbnails.

Games:
""""""
- file : name of the file. Exemple : "superGame.zip"
The directory is the one associated with the
emulator (see above).
- name : displayed name of the game.
- picture (optional): By default Test7 uses the filename of the game with
one these suffixes : "bmp,jpg,jpeg,png,gif" to
construct the filename of the game.
Exemple: "superGame.zip" becomes "superGame.png"
This parameter permit to use a totally different
filename for the picture. The directory is the
one associated with the emulator (see above).
- emulatorOption (optional): add some options to the command line of the
emulator.
- emulatorId : Identifiant of the emulator used to launch this game.

"screenHeight":1050,
"fullScreen":true,
"nbColumns":6,
"nbRows":4,
