Lightbulb Markup Lang for Small Basic GraphicsWindow
Posted by: sm4llprogrammer2008 - 05-12-2025, 06:23 PM - Forum: Discussion - No Replies

I've announced IXML (Interactive XML), a markup language to simplify shape editing for SB-Prime and Small Basic.
I'm building the parser with LDxml, and I'm feeling motivated for it.
I'm making some nodes for the language + a documentation too.
It can definitely simplify graphics development with Small Basic!

Rainbow Small Basic key tester (w/ no extensions)
Posted by: sm4llprogrammer2008 - 05-12-2025, 12:25 AM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - No Replies

Easy!
This key tester program actually worked! (works in v1.3 and even v1.2)
It also respected the dynamic Y pos thing I tried. So Small Basic even accepts math... I'm thinking of a calculator now.
No dependencies.
ID: HSKG394.000
Link: https://smallbasic.com/program/?HSKG394.000

Code:
GraphicsWindow.Title = "Key Test"
GraphicsWindow.KeyDown = Onkey
y = 0

Sub Onkey
  l = GraphicsWindow.LastKey
  GraphicsWindow.DrawText(0,y,l)
  y = y + 10
EndSub

Wenn sich ein anderer Benutzer anmeldet, ist das Passwort des vorherigen Benutzers weiterhin vorhanden. Dies verhindert einen ordnungsgemäßen Benutzerwechsel. Mir fehlt ein LDControl.ClearPassword.

  LDTextEditor Extension - Feature Request & Bug Reporting.
Posted by: flubrix42 - 05-10-2025, 08:22 PM - Forum: Extensions - Replies (2)

Hallo zusammen,
ich nutze aktuell die LDTextEditor Extension und bin wirklich begeistert von den Möglichkeiten. Allerdings sind mir ein paar Dinge aufgefallen, die verbessert werden könnten.
* **Feature Request:** Eine Funktion zum direkten Speichern als UTF-8 wäre super. Im Moment muss ich das immer extern machen, was etwas umständlich ist.
* **Bug Reporting:** Bei sehr großen Textdateien (über 1 MB) kommt es manchmal zu Verzögerungen beim Scrollen. Könnte man das optimieren?
* **Weitere Vorschläge:** Wäre es möglich, eine Syntaxhervorhebung für bestimmte Sprachen (z.B. Small Basic) zu integrieren?
Ich würde mich freuen, wenn diese Punkte in zukünftigen Versionen berücksichtigt werden könnten. Vielen Dank für die tolle Arbeit an der Extension!
Viele Grüße

Information How I discovered Small Basic
Posted by: sm4llprogrammer2008 - 05-06-2025, 02:09 AM - Forum: Discussion - Replies (1)

Bored, scrolling through the MS Store, of course checking everything that Microsoft ever published, I found Small Basic 1.3 (UWP), it didn't have extension compatibility, and I thought it was a great start.
Since then I've been more familiar with JScript, Python and PowerShell, I've downloaded SB 1.2's MSI installer and got the extension compatible version, tested out LitDev extension (since it was the first one I came across, the only one that worked from the extensions lib). I felt happy for my first LD program.
All of this began this year (2025), and I'm very proud of finding some welcoming programming lang for me.

QUICK EDIT

By extensions lib I meant the extensions list on MS Learn. (or Tech Community iirc)

Star Announcing RebornDOS.sb
Posted by: sm4llprogrammer2008 - 05-06-2025, 01:58 AM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - Replies (1)

I've been making a project called RebornDOS.sb.
It's a DOS rebirth on Small Basic.
Code's too big (exceeds 5k chars, which the MyBB engine doesn't handle), so can I share the sb file on a compressed/zip folder w/ OneDrive link?

QUICK EDIT

It's a prototype, but you can make your own distros of it. (w/ perms or credit)

  Twin Basic
Posted by: Lester - 05-04-2025, 07:18 PM - Forum: Discussion - No Replies

I came across a new Basic language called Twin BASIC. Its in late BETA, and is scheduled for release in early summer. I played with it for an hour or two yesterday and it looks good. According to the website: "twinBASIC is a modern BASIC compiler that aims to be fully compatible with all existing VB6 and VBA code"  

Check it out,  Lester

Windows' built-in VGA typeface/font is Fixedsys, you might find worth it using on your Small Basic GW projects.
