Molecule Reference

oTakhi Condenser currently offers 36 molecules for assembling cloud formations and web applications.  They are separated into 2 packs.  The Basic pack contains the essential molecules for creating interactive contents, whereas the 3D pack enables you to create real-time 3D online games.  In the future, more molecule packs, and a SDK for creating custom pack, will be released allowing you to create even more sophisticated online apps.

Each molecule supports a set of attributes and methods.  During Condenser’s Edit phase, attributes can be modified in the molecule’s preference dialog.  This dialog can be invoked simply by double clicking on the molecule’s icon.  During the Preview or Runtime phase, both attributes and methods are available for scripting using the oTakhi Scripting Object Model (oSOM).

oSOM describes the hierarchical relationship among build-in objects provided by oTakhi platform.  For instance, the app object is always at the root of the application.  At the next level are the droplets which are containers that hold molecules from an even lower level.

Each object, its attributes and methods, can all be accessed using their corresponding scripting path (e.g.  app.droplet.molecules[1].method().)

Droplets and molecules, that have pref.name attribute, can be dynamically renamed and the new name immediately becomes the property of the parent object for accessing that droplet or molecule.  This feature makes oSOM a very dynamic and flexible scripting environment.  (e.g. to create reusable objects that dynamically adapt to its hosting application.)

app object is the application root.

droplet is a programmable container of molecules.
