Hi,
Has anyone used TechBasic to write Apps for the iPod, iPhone and iPad?
You can run TechBasic on an iPod, iPhone or iPad device. You can get
the TechBasic App Builder which runs on a Mac with Xcode to develop
Apps. I have TechBasic running on an iPhone and a iPad Mini. I enjoy
using it on a large screen device like the iPad Mini. I also have the
TechBasic App Builder with Xcode running on a Mac Mini. Xcode has
several different simulators and you can run your programs on the
iPhone simulator or the iPad simulator. You can connect up a real
hardware device and transfer programs and data to your device
using iTunes and run the programs on your device using TechBasic.
TechBasic has a nice set of commands, which will get better with time.
What TechBasic does not have at this time is a Visual Form Building Tool
like Basic4ppc or Basic4Android.
When positioning controls on a form you have to go in and edit all of the
program statements to move the controls around on the screen. This is
quite time consuming when you want to change the layout of the controls
on the display screen.
Has anyone written a Visual Form Building Tool that could be modified to
work with TechBasic?
In the past I used EZGUI to create GUI's for PowerBasic. You could use
EZGUI to layout the controls on a Form and EZGUI would analyze the
Form and generate the necessary PowerBasic code statements to create
the Form. You could then launch PowerBasic and paste the generated
code into the PowerBasic code editor, then compile and run the code.
PowerBasic now has their own Visual Form Building Tool that does the
same thing.
It seems that this type of setup would work well with TechBasic. A simple
Visual Design Tool that would allow you to layout controls on a Form and
generate the TechBasic program code statements that could be pasted into
TechBasic where it could be edited, compiled and run.
A Visual Design Tool for TechBasic would be a product that people would
be willing to pay for. I know that I would buy such a product if I could
find one.
I was wondering how difficult would it be to write such a tool and could
any Visual Design program be easily modified to work with TechBasic?
We need a Visual4TechBasic Design Tool so that we can speed up writing
Apps for the iPod, iPhone and iPad !!!
Here is a picture of a TechBasic program running on an iPAD Mini and the
BASIC program code is listed in the (.TXT) file.
