Creating Your First App

All TYOS apps use the same format. To create a TYOS app, you must use this format. Lets get started.

1. In the home directory, switch the the apps directory of TYOS.
2. Open the order.txt file and add the name of your app to the bottom.
3. Create a directory in the apps directory with the same name as the one in the order.txt file.
4. Switch to your app's directory and add two files: app_name.png and app_name.py
5. app_name.png is the icon used for your app. it must be 70x70 pixels.
6. app_name.py is the main code for your app. It must have the following format:

#App Name
#MIT License

import pygame

class Run(): #The basis of all apps; the app object
    def __init__(self, fona): #Must have fona argument, otherwise error will be returned
        #Stuff to follow app protocol
        self.exit = False #When value is changed to True, your app will exit back to the main menu
        self.blit_one_surface = {'surface':[], 'rects':[]} #One surface in blit_one_surface will be blitted to     all rects
        self.blit = {'surfaces':[], 'rects':[]} #All surfaces in list will be blitted to their corresponding rect
        self.next_app = None #The app that automatically runs after self.exit is True

    def run_app(self): #The main function of your app. Everything goes in here.
        pass
        
    def get_events(self, event): #The event argument is a screen press. use event.pos to get location
        pass

    def on_first_run(self): #Runs once every time your app is opened unlike __init__ which only runs once every  time TYOS is run
        pass

The fona object can be used to communicate with the fona. Just use fona.transmit('AT command')
