I am working on a new program that helps new programmers get a feel to the lamguage. It will have different sections for graphics functions conditional, loops, and others. It will be GUI based and will provide the user with the syntax and ask for all needed arguments. Such as "the user presses enter on a for loop, the program then asks for the variable to use, the starting number and the ending number", or "if the user chose an if statement they will be prompted to chose a condition then chose if they want an or,xor, and, or to finish the if statement," or "if the user chooses something like text or output, it will ask the user for the text, then ask for where it will be located by the user using the D-pad to find the location." the reason for making this program is to help many of my friends at school program, as they do not understand the syntax of different functions, or just don't know where to begin. I will need help with an asm library that writes the programs, and allows them to edit the program, IE insert a line, change a line completley, and copy a line. I have looked at an asm program called Celtic but I believe it said it might be unstable, if someone could confirm me on this please do so. Any questions or comments are welcome. I will be posting the program soon

This sounds very useful! I could use this too with a lot of my friends! I have no clue about Celtic I/Celtic II, but if you were OK with an app library, you could try Celtic III. I know it;s still under development, but I *think* it's stable. You'd have too check with Iambian on that. It has all the functions you would need to edit those other programs.

It is pretty stable as long as you follow the correct syntax
-
thanks, where could i find iambian. I have heard celtic 3 is not very stable but...If it works I won't be complaining ;D.

Oh I posted this before I saw your post, define "pretty"
-
I personaly have used it extensivey and never had it crash except on the boxshift command which he specifically said itsn't done yet...

Hi and welcome here. :)
Interesting project. I recommend Celtic III for such project btw. Just make sure to backup often in case you do something wrong and you lose everything. Also, try avoiding double-posting unless there is several hours between your posts (I recommend EDIT button if it's not the case)

As in it doesn't crash that often. In fact I have only had it crash on me when I play around with programs/appvars with it. Also try not to doublepost, there is the edit button. :)
you can find Iambian on IRC every so often, he also hangs around the forums usually. If you search through the members list you can find him and PM him, or when UTI gets back up and running you can post in the sub-forum dedicated to Celtic III
edit: lol nice ninja there DJ :p
-
Thank you I will try Celtic 3

Celtic III is a great (though unfinished) App. I've used it for one of my projects (Oasis) and I never encountered a crash.
Welcome here!
United Ti is back up and the Celtic III subforum is here: http://www.unitedti.org/forum/index.php?showforum=62
