so, to make some further suggestions: Optimal layout suggestion (merely a suggestion, so don't think I actualy think you will make it this way)

MAP AS JUST THE DATA (AS IT WOULD BE IN MARTIX FORM)

that would be cool, making maps directly on calc is a real pain even with a good map editor

Yeah... Even in PokeModr, map editing is sort of a pain. It takes forever to plan out the map and everything and it's not exactly the friendliest thing in the world. I think I'm just going to release my makeext program for people to make mods and able to edit on-calc for quick fixes.

this was all proposed as a computer project in php like the joint opti ti project is

Right, that makes sense. Actually, I'm going to need someone to take over OptiBASIC, because Brazucs unfortunately doesn't have time anymor. Lemme start thinking out how this is going to work.

What would be the neatest thing to see is if scource coder became a full fledged basic IDE with features geared to advanced users...but not to get to far ahead I think that this being a part of scource coder will be very good. Of all the people whom I think could actualy make this, there are few whom seem more capable than you Kerm.

Thank you. I too see this as becoming a complete BASIC IDE.

have you made any progress in respect to this program

Not as of yet, I've been working on Apping DCS6. I see it going forward soon though.

good to hear, this tool would be very useful to the basic community

And that proposed format thing you came up with has so far been helpful with aiding me in completely understanding what you're saying.

I wonder if it'd be possible to make the scource coder series the basic equivalent of brass, latenite, and earlymorning set.

That would be really cool. I'm even thinking of trying to build a PHP assembler so that people could dev asm programs online too.

That is very cool.

It wouldn't be incredibly hard, just time-consuming to port over the opcode tables.

again, if i had to put money on anyone in the community to get it doen, itd be on you. You've already made this all so far, now we just got to wait until you have the time to try and finish it more.

Thank you. And thanks for understanding the huge number of projects I have going at once, not to mention my schoolwork.

I am in a bit of similar situation my self, then again...I have never finished a project to date ):

You will, don't worry. Right now my problem is more massive amounts of schoolwork than too many projects.
