PBASIC 2.5 Editor: How Much Longer?

Noah · January 10, 2003, 4:57pm

How much longer do we have to wait? Guesses?

rust710 · January 10, 2003, 5:01pm

I am not very optimistic considering the full version was supposed to be released in the beginning of January.

It better be out today! With autonomous mode to worry about, the language improvement isn’t really expendible. I don’t understand how they could have left out the SELECT and the IF/THEN/ENDIF syntax out in the first place.

(Adam Collet): Well, based on the 12:00 hypothesis, and that parallax is based in California, we’re now 2 hours overdue.

Good Point.

It is kind of like a car without a key. The idea is absurd.

Absurd as it is, anything we can do with IF/THEN/ELSE and SELECT/CASE constructs we can do with PBASIC 2.0. It’s just not as pretty.

Out of curiosity, who else is checking innovation first every 60 seconds for the update?

Caleb_Fulton · January 10, 2003, 5:29pm

I’m checking every 10 mins or so

This is all new stuff to me, and I JUST WANT TO GET STARTED!!!

We’re going to have a working chasis by this time tomorrow!

Another question: The PBASIC 2.5 editor is a BETA release… Who thinks it’s gonna be buggy?

I do. :yikes:

This is a rather good point. Even though it will compile the new better code, there will be bugs in the editor, and with it being a beta, who knows when a final will be released

Damian_Manda · January 10, 2003, 6:07pm

And now it is over 3 hours late… hmm maybe it will really take quite a while (6 weeks)<–not my idea

Raven_Writer · January 10, 2003, 6:09pm

I think they won’t release it until we only got about 3-5 weeks left of this. I truely think we are screwed of the new style for this year.

Noah · January 10, 2003, 6:14pm

On the plus side, next year the programming should be great!!!

heh…the keywords are “next year”

Damian_Manda · January 10, 2003, 7:00pm

Time late = >4 hrs and counting

rwaliany · January 10, 2003, 7:06pm

I hope it has color highlighting… Pfft… if it doesn’t give me the code and I’ll add it.

Noah · January 10, 2003, 7:11pm

That would be nice… but somehow I suspect they won’t be making it an Open Source Beta. I suspect you would have to write the entire thing yourself.

Raven_Writer · January 10, 2003, 7:12pm

Anyone know what this is written in anyways? (MFC, Win32, VB)

rwaliany · January 10, 2003, 7:18pm

Im guessing MFC. The old editor looks like MFC anyhow. Maybe I’ll make a better editor with color highlighting over summer. I’m so tempted to work on it now, but I have to do homework, ahhh…

Raven_Writer · January 10, 2003, 7:23pm

Oh, kewl. I’m thinkin of something if I can ever understand MFC.

That means absolutely nothing. MFC is just another way to access the same UI features as the API. Show me something you can do in MFC and I’ll find you a way to do the exact same thing with the exact same UI using the API.
