Alpha Releases on Source Forge 2010

[Charles Pegge]

This is a zip file containing a Scintilla- based IDE, (Integrated Development Environment), the rudiments of a manual, Examples, compiler tools and Oxygen itself. An installer is not required.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/oxygenbasic/files/

If you would like to run OxygenBasic scripts directly from Windows then right-click on one of the example files, then select Properties at the bottom of the popup menu then in the main panel click on the Change button. In the next popup panel click on  Browse and select the path to gxo2.exe which is in the main Oxygen folder. This is one of the Combi Compiler/Executive front-ends for Oxygen.

I've just posted Oxygen Alpha012 compiled with FreeBasic 0.21.1 no less! It avoids FB's val() function completely and it successfully runs all the tests I have tried with it so far.

Wow! What an accomplishment Charles! I have long looked foreward to this day.

[Charles Pegge]

A few more Alphas to go yet!

Release 013 has the #console directive for running in an existing console. The Oxygen dll now uses new entry points which cures the problem I had with FreeBasic 0.20. They use a C runtime library which has to be initialised. and Oxygen was bypassing this procedure.

For those who are uneasy about the number 13, I avoided posting this release on Friday

15:57 16/10/2010  Fix bracketed comparator bug. if (x=n) then .. where n is a number.


[Charles Pegge]

OpenglView is going to be the main workbench for GUI development - largely centered on Opengl.

So far:

mouse navigation
keyboard navigation
3 viewing modes
Animation mode

The functions are bound to change but the arrow keys, the spacebar, the number keys and function keys do various things.

The main task is to organise the various operations into useful groupings.

In particular, memory management and garbage collection is much tighter

[Petr Schreiber]

Thanks for the new release Charles,

few notes from newcomer to standalone version :

• OxygenBasic\Examples\SBO2\PortViewer2.o2bas gives me error on StandardMaterial
• Would it be possible in the changelog add links/paths to the new examples you mentioned, (I am still seeking the gaussian one )
• What is the current status of the OpenGL code editor?

Petr

[Charles Pegge]

Thanks Petr,

Most of the screenshots come from PortViewer2 in examples\gui1. Press "3" or "4" to select the Gauss.
There are also some notes in the same directory. I will be adding other things to this demo in the same manner. If you Press "F7" you can also see demo edit boxes.

The technology I glean from PortViewer2 will eventually form the Oxygen IDE

If you associate "o2bas" with gxo2.exe you can run these scripts directly without using the  Scite IDE. (I'm still using notepad so I do this all the time )

I will fix the directory mapping for SBO2.
