An On-Calc Basic IDE?

[Mighty Moose]

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. (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!

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.

[Mighty Moose]

My thoughts exactly! (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!

That aside, this looks good! I hope you can finish it.

Looks cool! Good luck!

Looks good if you need help with extra ASM tools, I might be able to help

[ztrumpet]

This looks cool.  Good luck!

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 . My bad.

I noticed the BASIC code seemed different in the screenshots, though. Is it because he just typed random stuff?

[meishe91]

Ya, that's what it looks like.
