I am looking for good suggestions on where to start with the educational application that I am developing.
I want my application to be compatible with Windows and OSX - my research shows that about 40% of the audience will use mac.
I try to stick with .net / c sharp and the Mono framework.
The application is quite simple - it will be graphical, containing a toolbar with a menu and several buttons. The main area on the screen will contain custom graphics - I would draw on areas in the main window using some of the algorithms that I am developing.
I will also need to play music, preferably mp3.
The drawing area will be animated, but not heavy - that is, fairly simple line drawings, not 3d or shaded, etc.
I am thinking of creating a GTK sharp 2.0 application in Monodevelop using DrawingArea for my custom drawing.
I'm not too interested in making the application look โNativeโ, this would be a bonus, but not significant.
I can talk in detail about the details if necessary, but does it look like a reasonable starting block?
Any recommendations on a decent cross-platform drawing library I could use?
