Started talking about Visual Spin ideas in this thread:
http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=923817

If anybody is really, really brave and won't mind if their computer is destroyed,
you can try out a pre-alpha release from my website:
http://www.rayslogic.com/propeller/Programming/VisualSpin/VisualSpin.htm

This project has just begun, so it is very incomplete.
But, I thought some people might find it interesting...

Here's a screenshot, in case you're scared:

    That's a 10 on my cool-o-meter! I will definitely try this when it is no longer bent on destroying my computer!

    April, 2008: when I discovered the answers to all my micro-computational-botherations!

    Some of my objects:
    MCP3X0X ADC Driver - Programmable Schmitt inputs, frequency reading, and more!
    Simple Propeller-based Database - Making life easier and more readable for all your EEPROM storage needs.
    String Manipulation Library - Don't allow strings to be the bane of the Propeller, bend them to your will!
    Fast Inter-Propeller Comm - Fast communication between two propellers (1.37MB/s @100MHz)!

    Just in case anybody is trying it... You can select a form object either by double-clicking on it in left tree-view window, or single-clicking on it in the main view.
    Then, you can edit it's properties in the Properties window on the right....

    This is definitely really cool. I was looking for something like that for a long time. Keep up the great work!
    By the way, is your version of the software is more advanced? I can't see anything to delete the buttons or other objects and generate the spin code, from your delay generator, you seems like having other controls, like radio buttons...

    FredBlais, Thanks for trying it! As I've said, this program is in the very early stages of development. But, I think I've overcome all the programming hurdles... There were a few things I had to learn how to do...

    Anyway, yes, being able to delete objects is next on the agenda... Then, need to add in more components. I think I'll add a code view where you can type in custom code and event handlers too...

    The delay generator was made by hand. I.e., without the aid of a program like this. But, Visual Spin would have made writing that code almost trivial!

    Just tried it on my computer running Vista, without any problems.
    Can't wait until it does more.

    Very glad to hear it's working on another compter. I've really only sorta tested it on one, also running Vista, 64-bit.
    But, I don't really have any reason to believe it won't work everywhere. It's built with the standard MS Visual Studio C++ with no 3rd party
    additions.

    Without actually testing it much, I wanted to post some cautions though...

    Also, this is the "debug" version.· You should get a "Debug Assertion Failed" message if something goes wrong...

    I'll play around with it on a 32 bit XP machine and a 64 bit Windows 7 machine this weekend and let you know how it goes. Looks like it could end up being a nice little addition to the prop universe!
