BasicBuilder --wxPython edition

[elfprince13]

Some of you may remember that for a while I have been working on making a Mac port of basic builder. Id sort of put it on the back burner for a while so I can finish some other projects and learn more Python (the backend of BasicBuilder is written in Python).

Now that Ive had a chance to hone my Python skills working on gCn Im resuming work on it, and that's the only project I will be working for the next week or so while Kerm works on the gCn calc-comp protocol.

It wont be open source (due to an agreement I made with Martin Warmer), but it will be more be easier to use, and a little more reliable, and I will actually be using one of the built-in features that never made it into the BasicBuilder 2.0 exe.

I will also be releasing a new version for windows as well, and possibly Linux if I can get access to a Linux box

Basicbuilder is an amazing program, I'm looking forward to seeing your version.

thanks for the support. work is progressing well.

It'd be cool if it could make nostub asm programs out of your basic programs in the case you don't want to use up a whole flash page

[elfprince13]

for now I think im not gonna modify the backend. it does have a built in app-decompiler though

[elfprince13]

sry about the double post


heres the current demo...two more pages plus the buttons. then the real work begins. I just switched over to BoaConstructor which is awesome

[elfprince13]

demo updated, same link...questions? comments? death threats?

[0oruneo0]

Hmm. When I run it, the DOS window pops up and immediatley closes. I'm probably doing something wrong, as I am new to python. Any suggestions?

[elfprince13]

do you have the wxPython library installed?

If not, thats probably the problem. if you do, browse in the command prompt to the right directory and type "python App1.py" (without the quotes, and check the capitalization on the file name)

[0oruneo0]

Ah, I was missing the library. Works now, looks good What features do you plan to add?

[elfprince13]

Im taking the Decompiler out of a batch file into the main program. The biggest thing though is the fact it will now be able to run natively on Windows and OS X, or from byte-code on any platform supported by wxPython..

[elfprince13]

The decompiler is now working great. anyone with BBuilder hex files, please send them to me for some testing or tell me if they work

EDIT:
===
the demo has now been updated. The GUI is done. The decompiler works....almost there

[elfprince13]

I am completely done except for coding the 8 buttons that manipulate the program/menu list

Since Im so close Im not going to update the demo until its done. the last 8 buttons will be the hardest, but expect a release by the end of this week.

[elfprince13]

its done now. Id upload it here, but the download section is currently not letting me upload anything.

until then here is the link: http://rancidmoose.unitedti.org/members/projects/bbuilderpy

That link for BasicBuilder (mac) no longer works. Is there another one, or can you email it to me? I've been dying for a mac port of that for a long time.

Edit: Well, if no links work, then maybe an email of it may be easier (depending on its size). [email=bluiitalian09@aol.com]Here[/email] is my email address.

Never mind i got it.

[eveenstra]

Thats because the subdomains have been moved

[s]It should be at http://rancidmoose.yessolution.net/members...ects/bbuilderpy[/s]

Edit: Never mind, that doesn't work either.
