Idea: Visual NXC

[sidneys1]

I really hope you won't really be using that True Random Number Generator.

Of course I will! Everyone knows 4 is random. Good job on catching the xkcd reference. Couldn't help but pay tribute to the world's best comic

Is that MDI temporary? Will we have a tabbed interface, eventually?

Why, would you prefer tabbed? Don't you like Opera, MS Word, and SpiderWEB? Haha ok I will look into switching it over to a tabbed interface.
For now I'll upload this:

Download Visual NXC 0.1.0.4 Alpha

Had to rewrite certain aspects of the Tab Bar, but here it is.

Ok, I don't have a beta for you this time, but I have been really busy with Visual NXC. Here's what I've been up to:
Getting the Enum Editor working (edit: I'm going to be removing those up/down buttons, there's no purpose to them lol. EDIT 2: ok, I guess there is in "assign values linearly" mode...):


But what if you want to make two enum items have the same value? Or what if you don't want their values assigned linearly? Then open up the advanced options:

As soon as you open the advanced options, the enum's hex values show. As you can see, I've chosen to not assign the values linearly, and have made "WeekStart" and "WeekEnd" synonymous with "Sunday" and "Saturday" respectively, a change which shows up in the graph in the bottom-right.


I've also done even more work on the code output, and this is what it generates, automatically, all on its own:

As you can see, the methods don't create any real code yet, and neither do the structs or enums, but it's coming along If there are no enums, it doesn't generate enumerations.h and it doesn't #include it, same for the structs. All the "//No code" comments are only generated if there really is no code, and the "//The program's method(s):" is only generated if there actually are methods. Pretty cool, huh?


I may have another alpha build for you once I've got the Enums outputting real code. Until then, be patient lol

OR, I can get a Visual C# Compiler with whatever the heck it is that you're using (is Mono/.NET included within MSVC#2010EE?), assuming that your commits aren't "half-done" commits .

That enumerations editor looks pretty cool, but I don't believe NXC has enums... I suppose you're going to use an array? Or simply literal constants? (I don't fully grasp the enum editor, unfortunately; yes I'm dumb: ... er... I mean: .)

Another suggestion which may probably be a dumb (as in , not ) one, but here it is anyways: Using "f(x)" for enums. (So now values can be assigned linearly (as in 2x, not just x), quadratically, etc...)

Sound like a dumb suggestion?

Yes; MSVCS Express should work. It comes with the compiler (would be pretty useless without it lol) All my code commits compile and run. Certain sections of the code are kinda messy, like the Enum editor window, but for the most part it's pretty clean and organized.

To the contrary... NXC has very good support for enums. Because of their nature, I can't assign a "f(x)" style value to an enum.. They must be a constant hexadecimal value. (0x00, 0x01, ..., 0x0E, 0x0F, etc)

Technically you can (it's really messed up code, though), but I see there's no point since they really are enums. (I wonder when John added support for them? It wasn't in the changelog...)

I can't compile it. (I tried compiling Program.cs with only MSVC#2010EE, but it gives me build errors.)

Strange.. I need more info, though. What are the errors? PM me in the interest of keeping this thread on-topic.

Making good on the MONO support I've mentioned:


However, there are some errors... Any think they can figure out what's the error in this pic? (Hint: same reason this isn't bold[\b]!)

Anyhow, I'm about to see if I can get it running on Ubuntu.

YAY! Tell me if you need a tester for Ubuntu! I'm here!

Or Sidneys1 can run Ubuntu in VirtualBox, and test at his leisure, unless of course 2GB is too much for him.
