George Washingtoad Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Ok so Visual Batari Basic doesnt work for me. But how about I just use Visual batari basic, and just copy and paste the code from it into a notepad file. Then I compile that with the batari basic program. Would that work? 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/123849-visual-bb-10-a-new-ide-for-batari-basic/page/28/#findComment-3492813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you abandon Visual batari Basic, be sure to double click on install_win.bat. I also updated the VbB page: How to 'Install' Visual batari Basic on a Windows PC Be sure to pay attention to step 3.

STGraves Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'm just curious to know, why aren't there any hotkeys for compiling and running? Or a way to adjust the interface, I would love to be able to put the console where the project explorer is so the errors and messages are more visible.

Probably it was good enough for developers when VisualbB was actively developed so it never got on his action list. Pretty much the next step is for people to come up with batari BASIC compatibility scripts for Notepad++. Or, make their own VisualbB.

STGraves Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 That makes sense, some time ago I used to use jEdit on ubuntu as my IDE it took a while to get it to work perfectly, but when I did it was an amazing experience, it didn't lag at all, and had many different skins, but I'm kind of lazy to do it on windows as well jeje and also I don't remember how I did it Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/123849-visual-bb-10-a-new-ide-for-batari-basic/page/28/#findComment-3783275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiceware and I use jEdit which is a programmers editor in JavaScript that runs on all platforms. He uses it for 2600 assembly and I for batari Basic. I set up the menu icons to have save, compile, run (in Stella) all next to each other - I don't know if you can make hot-keys or not. I like its diff feature where you can see changes from code that works to the new code you have broken. The coloring of the zeroes in the player data graphically shows player shapes in the code thanks to Spideware's code colors. You can infinitely configure and add to it. The disadvantage at the moment is that Visual bB has the Player and Playfield Editor, the Music Editor, the Pallet color chooser. Spiceware says these could be added to jEdit. If someone programs those extensions, jEdit will be better than Visual bB because jEdit doesn't glitch when you near filling 32K with Basic code.

How would a person program those things? Oh, I see that you need to know how to program using Java: jedit.org/users-guide/writing-plugins-part.html Looks complicated and way over my head. Too bad nobody makes a plugin system based on BASIC.

ColecoGamer Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hey all, I've installed everything according to the instructions, but I keep getting errors. I'm using SP2; I've installed MS .NET Framework; I've redirected the compiler; and I installed Stella as the emulator. The IDE boots and appears functional, but it says there's an error with the compiler. I've reinstalled everything more than once, btw, and the same error keeps occurring. Any suggestions on what this issue could be? It would be appreciated!
