Visual Turing!?

[SNIPERDUDE]

I can up with this idea for a new turing project...

What if I were to come up with a form creator similar
to that of visual basic, and have it hardcode the form
into a turing file that can be imported (or copy + pasted)
into your programme?

So what I mean is: you create the visual look of your
form (buttons, pics, etc), then when you save it would
hardcode it into a turing file that can either be called
or copy and pasted into the programme you want..

This would be particularly useful for making menus.

I thought about the creativity and flexibility of it, so
it will be using my custom GUI package I made here

Tell me what you guys think,
and let me know if you come up with any ideas

lmao, it put '?' where it was supposed to be a degrees symbol

[SNIPERDUDE]

btw the gui package has been much updated since then...

When I get the chance I'll post a screenshot of it
and of the project whe I have some progress.

Not necessary in Turing's current state. Maybe if we had OpenT done.

[SNIPERDUDE]

It gives me something to do.

I'm not trying to imply that turing's GUI is
difficult to use; just that I have some friends
that use vb and started turing but are still in
VB denial.

I thought of this when I was trying to teach them...

But nonetheless this programme would be nice
if you wanted to create a more of a form
based programme (as in not so game like)
in turing.

[SNIPERDUDE]

I meant to say VB withdrawal, not denial...
I just couldn't think of the word

[SNIPERDUDE]

Here it is!
I have the first preview of my programme!
It will still be a while untill I post it, because making
a non-object oriented programming language object-
oriented does take alot.

But once I post this version other versions will come out
faster, as I will have the template done.

Ideas, comments, questions welcome

[Mackie]

Does it work? Can you post some code?

[SNIPERDUDE]

Yes, I spent about half a year making an effective coding for custom GUI - so this programme is just an expantion of that.

I'm sorry I can't post the code quite yet, but on my first official release of this programme I will post the GUI code (not the form editor code, maybe later).

But if you want to see if it really works - I will post a demo hopefully soon.

I sense some grade-A bullplop... but who knows.

[SNIPERDUDE]

why thank you for the early praise I guess...
I certainly think it is, it's up to you guys to properly judge it...

[apomb]

We cant judge something we cant see/use... and im not sure you read my post very well last time :S

[SNIPERDUDE]

lol, anywho liek I said - a demo version will be out hopefully soon. Maybe a week? 2? somewhere around those lines I hope - school does get busy these days...

[SNIPERDUDE]

accually now that I think about it - you can see an eary demo I made of the GUI (the link is on my first post on this thread).

Let me know what you think of it...
I know there are still some minor stuff I need to fix, but they should be easy

[Zren]

How'd you get the Windows GUI into turing. Did you honnestly rip up every single image a apply them into the window. I'm with apomp on this being fishylike.

Holy Crap, how large is this thing...
