eye candy has arrived! I am not sure if I mentioned, but I started over from scratch. it no longer has a window for the time being, and I did not start with variables. Instead I have been working on a preprocessor. this will run through the code translating it into something easier to parse, this new code is stored in a temporary file. when the preprocessor is finished, the interpreter will take over and begin interpreting the code line by line. So far I have the preprocessor remove whitespace (except for newlines) and make all text be in caps. also it will leave a string intact and it is not required to have the closing " for it to read it as a string, just like in ti-basic.

and now the eye candy:

This converts TI-Basic to C++?

No it does not, please read the first post of a topic before asking questions.

ScoutDavid:
no, this will be an interpreted ti-basic-like language for PC, the C++ in BasiC++ is a reference to the language the interpreter is being coded in.

Oh I see, thanks!

I had never heard of this, and the first topic didn't really explain what it was :S

I would like to ask to not reply to another member that way again. It is against the forum rules. Some stuff could be missed easily by a non-english speaking member. I myself have troubles with large posts and often have to CTRL+F to find some info in them.

Anyway I'm happy to see this revived. Will it still have the same goal as the original Basic++ of being a TI-BASIC like language but for computer?

Don't worry. As Eeems said, this was solved out quickly. Let's just forget it



Concerning this images, what is exactly happening? I don't get it

This seems to be a text-based Hello World style program. I wonder if we can still do things like this?



I know Eeems was working on something like that before too, in Javascript. It was quite impressive, although it seemed quite slow on older computers

Yeah it was kinda cool. I hope we can do a bit more, like using colors, larger resolution and maybe even change the monitor resolution so we can do full-screen games or something. It would be cool.

Yeah it would be cool, but many people always dreamed of a computer programming language that was as easy as TI-BASIC. I couldn't find any. RPG Maker and Game Maker are easy, but you are too limited. It would be nice if BasiC++ let those programmers the chance to code color games too. Of course it would be nice to have a calculator mode too, though, especially if someone is porting a calc game to the computer.
