Hi Csabo,
thanks for getting my idea about the Basic-Environment.
I would keep it very near to the original, but coding should be comfortable in an Editor with a Mouse, Copy&Paste and Saving the Code imidiately, so that you concentrate on the essence: Coding.
The other thing is, that i am used to the PC-Keyboard after all that years.
First of all i would ban the codelines and replace them with tags. e.g.
Basic 3.5 Code:
10 Print "Hello"
20 Goto 10
Our Basic-Code
##Main
Print "Hello"
Goto ##Main
After "compiling" the Enviroment adds Numbers to the code and would make something like this:
10 REM Main
20 Print "Hello"
30 Goto 10
Then you can send it to the Emulator or the real machine.
GoSubs would be treated the same way....I think that would be a great improvement.
Another idea is to integrate a help system for the Basic-Commands, and especially for Poking and peeking, which will be updatable from the Internet. So everybody could contribute to the Help file by adding or correcting it. (Wikipedia-Like) You mark a word, you pres F1 and get your information (Syntax, Parameterlist, and so on).
Thank your for your support, Csabo. I certanliy will come around with some stupid 'Beginners'-Questions for my first adventure. Mainly how to load graphics to the machine and how to make a background melodies and cool sounds.
Greetings
George
