+Solutions to the tiny window manager challenge
+======
+
+Hello! Last week I posted a small [programming challenge to write a tiny window manager that bounces windows around the screen][1].
+
+![][2]
+
+I’ll write a bit about my experience of solving the challenge, or you can just skip to the end to see the solutions.
+
+### what’s a window manager?
+
+An X window manager is a program that sends messages to the X server (which is in charge of drawing your windows) to tell it which windows to display and where.
+
+I found out that you can trace those events with `xtrace`. Here’s some example output from xtrace (for the toy window manager which is just moving windows about)
+
+```
+000:<:02d8: 20: Request(12): ConfigureWindow window=0x004158e5 values={x=560 y=8}
+000:<:02da: 20: Request(12): ConfigureWindow window=0x004158e5 values={x=554 y=12}
+000:<:02dc: 20: Request(12): ConfigureWindow window=0x004158e5 values={x=548 y=16}
+000:<:02de: 20: Request(12): ConfigureWindow window=0x004158e5 values={x=542 y=20}
+000:<:02e0: 20: Request(12): ConfigureWindow window=0x004158e5 values={x=536 y=24}
+000:<:02e2: 20: Request(12): ConfigureWindow window=0x004158e5 values={x=530 y=28}
+000:<:02e4: 20: Request(12): ConfigureWindow window=0x004158e5 values={x=524 y=32}
+```
+
+### you can run programs without a window manager
+
+You technically don’t _need_ a window manager to run graphical programs – if you want to start an xterm in a window-manager-less X session you can just run
+
+```
+xterm -display :1
+```
+
+and it’ll start the xterm. Here’s a screenshot of an X session with no window manager open. I even have 2 windows open! (chrome and an xterm). It has some major usability problems, for example I don’t think you can resize or move or switch between windows. Which is where the window manager comes in!

+
+### move a window with XMoveWindow
+
+The challenge was to make the window bounce around the screen.
+
+In the [tinywm source][3] they use `XMoveResizeWindow` to move and resize windows, but I found in the [docs][4] that there’s also a function called `XMoveWindow`. Perfect!
+
+Here’s what it looks like. What could be simpler, right? And it works just the way I’d expect!
+
+```
+XMoveWindow(display, windowID, x, y)
+```
+
+Except…
+
+### problem: multiple `XMoveWindow`s don’t work
+
+I ran into a problem (which I got stuck on for a couple of hours) where when I ran XMoveWindow twice, it would only apply the last move.
+
+```
+XMoveWindow(display, windowID, 100, 200)
+usleep(2000 * 1000); # sleep for 2 seconds
+XMoveWindow(display, windowID, 300, 400)
+```
+
+I’d expect this to move the window once, wait 2 seconds, and them move it again. But that was not what happened! Instead, it would pause for 2 seconds and then move the window once (to the second location).
+
+### use xtrace to trace window manager events
+
+I used xtrace to trace the events and found out that my `ConfigureWindow` events that `XMoveWindow` was sending were all being sent at the same time. So it seemed like X was batching the events. But why?
+
+### XSync forces X to process events
+
+I didn’t know why this was happening, but I emailed Julian about it and he pointed me in the direction of [XSync][5], which forces X to process all the events you’ve sent it. Sure enough, I used XSync and everything worked beautifully.
+
+### solutions
+
+I asked people to email me if they completed the challenge, and 4 people did! Here are their solutions. All the solutions I got implemented more features than I did, so I’d encourage you to look at all the solutions if you’re interested in how to solve this problem!
+
+  * [Kacper Słomiński’s solution][6] (which uses `XQueryTree` to find the windows to bounce, which is nice)
+  * [@whichxyj’s solution][7]
+  * [Alexsey Lagoshin’s stressfulwm][8], which allows bouncing multiple windows:
+  * [Aldrin Martoq Ahumada’s bouncywm-ruby][9], which is the only solution in a language other than C I got! It uses an Xlib Ruby library that looks pretty straightforward to use.
+  * one really nice one with fancier bouncing effects which I’ll post here later if the person sends me the source
+  * [my solution][10]
+
+
+
+Here’s a gif of Alexsey’s solution. Apparently `XQuartz` on a Mac performs better than Xephyr!
+

+
+And Aldrin’s solution, with a great use of `xeyes`:

+
+### thanks!
+
+Thanks to everyone who emailed me a solution, and if you write your own implementation I’d love to post it here too, especially if you write one that isn’t in C or Ruby! I’m [[email protected]][13]
