Hi all.
It seems to me that today is one of the important days in my life.
The thing is that soon one boy will have a birthday. He will be 9 years old.
As an addition to the gift, I want to give the boy the opportunity to easily master programming skills using our wonderful Small Basic.
Since this boy's father had never been involved in computer programming, he also became interested in my idea.
However, the boy's father immediately chose a system for creating programs using diagrams.
That is, I get the opportunity to really help two people at once: a child and an adult.
The boy's father chose a full-fledged graphical programming environment that automatically compiles the diagram created in it into an executable file.
But, in this IDE there is a huge number of different objects. Even an adult finds it difficult to navigate through such a number of objects.
Therefore, I want to create objects of the Small BASIC language and LitDev library in this IDE.
That is, both an adult and a child will create a SB program diagram.
But, IDE will create a file of the SOURCE SB-CODE of this program, which they will simply need to paste into the SB-Prime editor and run.
- - - - -
For now, it's going to be a little tricky.
But this story will show in practice all the advantages and disadvantages of the idea of using Diagrams for the Small Basic language.
