For over a month, as first reported this past Christmas, the TI-BASIC editor and IDE SourceCoder 3 has been back under development. An upgrade of the aging SourceCoder 2 project, it incorporates all of the features from the older tool and adds many new features, wrapped up into a spiffy web application. Spurred by feature requests from the community and newly-feasible technical aspects, I have implemented features like command completion, argument hinting, a sprite editor, and much more. SourceCoder 3 can edit programs, lists, matrices, appvars, strings, pictures, images, and more.

In fact, here's a fairly complete list of the currently functioning features in SourceCoder 3:
:: Editing TI-BASIC programs for the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus and the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition, Axe programs, and Grammer programs.
:: Syntax highlighting for TI-BASIC, Axe, and Grammer programs.
:: Command completion for TI-BASIC commands and some Axe commands by typing the beginning of a command and pressing Ctrl-Space.
:: Argument hinting and command explanations for TI-BASIC and some Axe commands. For example, typing "seq(" displays the arguments to the seq( function, followed by a brief explanation of what the seq( command does. Thanks to Deep Thought and TI respectively for transcribing and creating these descriptions.
:: Sprite editor for monochrome, 3- and 4-level grayscale, and 16-color TI-BASIC and Axe sprites. You can edit existing sprites in programs or create new sprites.
:: Loading, editing, and saving lists and matrices, including importing from and exporting to CSV files that can be used by many numerical programs including Excel and Matlab.
:: Importing and exporting Picture and Image formats for the monochrome and color calculators, allowing you to save calculator images as computer images and convert computer images to be viewable on your calculator.
:: Embedded jsTIfied calculator emulator can emulate the TI-73, TI-81, TI-82, TI-83, TI-83 Plus/SE, TI-84 Plus/SE, TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition, TI-82 Stats.fr, TI-76.fr, and TI-83 Plus.fr. You can send files or projects directly from SourceCoder to jsTIfied and from jsTIfied to SourceCoder, allowing you to test out your programs without installing anything on your computer.
:: Export strings, AppVars, and programs as syntax-colored HTML or BBCode, allowing programs to be posted on personal or school websites or shared on forums.
:: Projects that include one or more programs, appvars, strings, lists, matrices, and real numbers can be stored in your Cemetech account and opened from SourceCoder on any computer. Projects can be imported from calculator files (.8xp, .8xg, and so on) and exported back to such files.

So what's left before SourceCoder 3 is complete? Of SourceCoder 2's features, counting loop commands in TI-BASIC and indenting code are missing, and will eventually be added to SourceCoder 3. In addition, pictures cannot currently be saved as part of SourceCoder 3 projects. However, given the stability and completeness of SourceCoder 3 in its current form, I will be moving on to my next project and forcing all existing SourceCoder 2 users to switch to SourceCoder 3. Please enjoy SourceCoder 3, tell your colleagues about its many powerful features, and as always, don't hesitate to post bug reports and feature requests in the attached topic.

News cross-posted from SourceCoder 3 Nears Completion

I'm glad to see this getting packed with even more features. I actually newsed about it last month, although for some reasons the news went under the radar (most likely due to being posted on Christmas Eve, which is usually quiet here), but some features recently added weren't there yet.

Good job!

Thank you! Should I post it to the relevant subforum instead of this hidden forum, then, or should I poke you to frontpage it?

Nah it's fine. Actually it was already frontpaged when I checked earlier. Also, one major highlight compared to the previous news is the sprite editor shown in the pic. I need to give it a try at one point.

This is looking very good indeed

NIce work! NOw we need the same for Axe Parser!  Oh and why not BrainF*ck? :troll:

SourceCoder 3 is capable of editing, hinting, and completing Axe Parser programs as well.

On top of that, I'm slightly disappointed that there's not 68k support yet.

Also, I guess it is because the 68k files are built up somewhat different, right?

Can you explain me why I don't have the right to news anymore about the calculator community activity on Omnimaga, after years of volunteer work, although KermM apparently still goes on newsing about his own site ?

Why do the new received rules, partially quoted above, seem to apply to me and not to him ?

In what way is this fair ?


Regards.
