edited 2008-10-27 19:08 in Propeller 1
Someone once said that idle hands are the devils playground.........Well with that said moving on to the next project.

A Basic Compiler with a VB like syntax for the Propeller.

This project just started with a target completion date of about 4 weeks from now.

Technical details will be released along the way and if anyone has any input please post it here.

I will post updates on the progress.

This compiler will be an integral part of our Developer Studio development platform.

    Thank you. The more compilers that you crank out, the more inspiration for others to do the same. You are leading the way to show the rest of us that maybe this isn't so difficult - maybe even doable for the rest of us. You are leading the way...

    Hi Quantum,

    Thanks for encouragement but at this time I cannot take any credit for the release of any compilers.

    To date we have produced a terminal program (PropViewer) and an Integrated Developement Enviroment (Developer Studio) that integrates third party compilers.

    Credit is due to members such as mpark, BradC and others for the contribution of compilers to date.

    Hey Praxis - I'm starting to think you've mastered the art of 26hour days, LOL.

    Another exciting project; sounds interesting smile.gif

    Will this be a Basic to Bytecode (like Spin) or a Basic to LMM (like ImageCraft C) compiler?

    @Andy:

    My plan is to try and support both, compile to byte code and then take a crack at a LMM version.

    Then from inside the IDE you can just select what type of project you want.

    @simonl; Not quite but 23.5 has been reached[noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Only very slow progress on this so far, been busy getting Developer Studio ready for the GA release.
