Hi Litdev:

Tried to run the extension manager, but stuck at downloading database screen... I gave the program full control etc... but still not working.. any thoughts?

All downloads for anything I have created for Small Basic; from LitDev extension, SB-Prime IDE, previous versions of Small Basic, samples, guides, API documentation, useful links etc can be found on my website  https://litdev.uk.

I try not to create direct links from other places since these can break, but everything on this website is maintained.

I know that a very big barrier to learning programming is the language people use to write program code.
If English is not a person's native language, then the person has to create an algorithm in their native language and then rewrite it in English into program code.

But, it is possible to create a utility that makes it possible to assign any sequence of characters of a person's native language to another sequence of English characters, as the #gefine directive does.

Writing a program in your native language is a pleasure that is much greater than creating code using obscure symbols. 

What do you think about that ?

Version 1.2.25.0 of LitDev extension uploaded.

I compiled a version of LitDev extension for use with sVB version of Small Basic (v2.8.6.7).  Not every feature tested, but mostly works well.

sVB is a clone of the original SB IDE (Integrated Development Environment), with some fixes, new features and form editor.  It remains fairly basic and faithful to the original SB ethos.

You can get sVB here and the LitDev extension from my website using the download link highlighted in the image below.

   

Here are a couple samples for it PXLC585.000 ZXMQ129.000.  They also run in standard SB and SB-Prime IDEs (with v1.2.25.0 LitDev extension).

Hi everyone who loves Small Basic and programming.
Please tell me if you would be interested in watching competitions of Small Artificial Intelligences that are created by Small Basics enthusiasts using Small Basics ?

Thank you. 

I downloaded the latest version 1.24 and the beta version 1.25 and copied each into the LIB directory.
The file attribute also shows these versions.
However, the LDUtilities.Version() function always runs to error 403 and shows version 1.23.
The extension manager cannot download the database.
Maybe the old URL is still accessed here?

I've been doing a bit of looking and see that MS Q&A is still active with Small Basic questions, so not sure if this forum is needed.

The MS Q&A somewhat suffers from Small and Basic questions that have nothing to do with Small Basic programming, so there may be benefit from this dedicated forum.

Anyway, I will leave the forum here and if there is interest it may grow.

You can get the LitDev extension from https://litdev.uk/#Extensions, with installation instructions https://litdev.uk/#Usage.

There is plenty of documentation and other utilities, all on https://litdev.uk.

This forum is the best place to ask any questions on this Small Basic extension.

Write a TextWindow login program.

It should have options to:

• create and account and set a password
  
• login using existing account and password (checking the password)
  

• have a reset password option
  
• save the passwords so that the program can be rerun
  
• consider how to 'encrypt' the passwords
  
• write a GraphicsWindow version
