Would anyone be interested in this? I have put a little work into it (it is currently a Basic+Celtic prgm <2000 bytes) and would like to know if I should continue.
(Btw, this has no relation to AxeAid, just a mere coincidence.)
-
Good sir, do you know of an IDE called Lunar IDE?
It may be too late for the ground-breaking BASIC IDE.
Perhaps a library of features instead?
Or better yet... :)
Good luck with your project though.
-
Can we see some screenshots? Hopefully it will run faster then Lunar IDE did on the 83+
:)

I figured someone would mention that. My intent is to make an IDE that can take up a little less RAM. Don't get me wrong, having >9000 bytes to your name is pretty awesome, but I think I could make a smaller one with similar functionality.
*Mighty Moose shudders at the thought of a 12000 byte program. :o(No offense)
Besides, I could never quite get Lunar to work correctly on my calc (wonder if it works on my new 84se...), so I have decided to do what a lot of other people have done in a situation like this: build their own. I have some ideas on what to do (maybe even include Doors Libs or convert to ASM/Axe?). I just wanted to see if this would actually be a useful contribution to the community.
EDIT: Just saw your post, Eeems, now I'm off to shoot a few screenshots in Wabbit.
EDIT2: Here is a screenshot. I mean it when I said I've only put a little work into it. As of right now, you can Open, view, scroll through, and create programs, but not edit. Keep in mind, a lot of this will change (I have no idea what to call it yet).
Please bear with my poor screenshooting ability.

Interesting idea. I tried Lunar IDE once, but, yeah, it was painfully slow.
Let's hope you can make something faster! ;D
-
I just tried Lunar IDE after reading this, and once that was set up I had almost no room left to make the actual program.
I'm all for another one.
-
My thoughts exactly! :D (Nothing against it or anything)
It was worse for me; I had problems with the group itself (it must have been corrupt or something).
Off to program...
-
Yeah, I had issues with the space LunarIDE took up, so that's why I packed into an app with BasicBuilder! ;D
That aside, this looks good! I hope you can finish it.
-
Looks cool! Good luck! :D
-
Looks good :) if you need help with extra ASM tools, I might be able to help :)
-
This looks cool. Good luck! ;D

Keep in mind even in BB form, it still requires RAM during runtime, though.
That said, Nice project. I never checked Lunar IDE much, though. Could someone enlighten me about which language it was for? So far it seems like BASIC, but I wondered if it did ASM too or if it's some sort of custom language?

Yeah, it's just for BASIC. It's basically a custom BASIC editor with a couple extra functions (like sprite making).
-
Wait I misread the title. At first I read it as On-calc Based IDE x.x. My bad.
I noticed the BASIC code seemed different in the screenshots, though. Is it because he just typed random stuff?
-
Ya, that's what it looks like.
-
Yeah. So far I have not coded anything for editing programs, so that was just a quick program I typed out (random keyboard bashing). Right now I am working on a way to insert tokens without going through menus - basically cataloging them all and reading from a string (horribly inefficient, by the way).
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply - I have been super busy this summer (Think: over 9000 things going on at once) I've been around, but I haven't been able to do a lot of work on it.
Here is a small list of planned features:
cut/copy/paste
auto-token (see above)
view prog stats
custom headers
auto-un/archive (does this somewhat)
spriting?
convert to asm/axe (can it even be done in axe?)
(I had more ideas, but I can't remember what I did with them)
*Mighty Moose gets lost in thought*
Feel free to voice your opinion on any ideas mentioned and suggest any of your own.
-
sounds like a neat project!
i'm sure it can be done in axe if you know some ASM knowledge.
-
There was one a while back called LunarIDE I think, but it didn't work all too well.
-
I am actually working on one in Axe myself ;D Maybe i will brush the dust off in a bit, since token reading was added it might be a lot easier...
-
Yeah I remember quigibo told me it would be hard to achieve such project in Axe without ASM. However, I wonder if you found a solution yet?
ON Mighty Moose project topic, I'm glad you are back. Can't wait to see what you will come up with. :)
