Idea: Visual NXC

Sorry to butt into this thread with this, but I keep getting a 'frog in an icecube' image with some text which states "domain unregistered" with your images. When I go to the site, it said that the site admin/moderator must register the site to access images?

I can see the images.

Are/were you by any chance using a school network? They sometimes block unknown websites.

On-topic:
I've set up a SF project for it... Nothing there yet, so I won't bother linking.

Found it! The power of Google! BTW, the NEU-NXC was supposed to be a joke.

Also, don't you have a Gravatar yet?

Yeah, I know "Not Entirely Unlike: Not eXactly C" was a joke But it can be canon, I don't care haha Yes, I do have a Gravatar, but for some reason it was attatched to my @yahoo.com (the email I registered on SF with), and not my @sf.net address, which is what it needs. But I've fixed it now.. For some reason TortiseSVN isn't letting me use the SVN repository though.. Won't ask me for username/pass....

I've also created a sort of mock-up style for the blocks... This is very rough, but tell me what you all think. Does it need to be softer? Or are we ok with a slightly harsher style, visually?

Looks decent to me. Could you make it in such a way, that later you could change the appearance without messing everything up? I like it.

it's really looking good.
Although I'll probably not use grafical programming environment, I nevertheless am curious how you will handle multi-I/O blocks like

Good luck anyway!

Well, I've managed to get the code uploaded to the SourceForge project.. You can view it here, if you're a .NET/Mono developer and want to check out the code. There'll also be a wiki about how to use it, once it's done, and possibly even some basic NXC documentation.

I'm drawing my inspiration from MIT's Scratch.. So multiple inputs shouldn't be a problem, as long as I keep them organized.

Just added basic support for rendering the actual blocks.. So far it supports rectangular blocks of any color, that can be attached with that little 'tab' puzzle thinger.


Next I'll add support for 'loop' shaped blocks, and maybe a special shape for 'if-else' blocks...

Nice!
if you'll once have finished this V-NXC:
maybe V-OSEK could be the NeXT step...
and probably you'll win a new fan for GUI-programming languages... :)
