• Rewrite

  Well, Atom has been dormant for a while as personal issues have intruded into my project time, but I am trying to get back into the swing of things. Looking at the code, I decided that I needed to move away from Delphi and to an open development language, and have decided to use FreeBasic. FreeBasic is open source, cross-platform and just an excellent basic programming language all around. You can find FreeBasic right here on SourceForge and it is worth a look. Rather than just porting the Delphi code though, I am going to rebuild Atom from the ground up. This will enable me to fix some of the hack-up code I have in the system and allow me some flexibility in adding some GUI stuff later down the line. This will be a completely new product, so I am not trying to maintain compatibility with the Delphi version of Atom which is of course, still available here.

• Offline

  Due to some personal issues, I will be going offline for a bit. I will continue working on Atom while I am offline, so the project isn't dead. I am still working on BAX, and I am also looking at a Windows version of Atom. Hopefully, when I get back online, I will have some new stuff to post.

• BAX

  Not much is happening with Atom at the moment while I work on a Basic/C to Atom Assembler translator, called BAX. So far I have the following code working: 'This is a test file for the bax translator' 'This comment spans two lines' dim %a = 4 dim %b = 5 dim %c = 10 dim %d, %e, %f, %g dim %h, %i, %str = &quot;This is a string&quot; 'assignments' %d = 52 %e = 24 'assigments with math' %f = 12 + 34.5 * (6 / 4) 'assignments with math and vars' %g = %d+%e*(5+%a) %h = &quot;This is a string value.&quot; %i = %h print (&quot;a: &quot;; %a, &quot;b:&quot;; %b, &quot;c: &quot;; %c, &quot;d: &quot;; %d, &quot;e: &quot;; %e, &quot;f: &quot;; %f, &quot;g: &quot;; %g, &quot;h: &quot;; %h, &quot;i: &quot;; %i, &quot;A string&quot;) gosub label1 goto label2 print(&quot;You won't see this.&quot;) :label2 print(&quot;This is the end.&quot;) end :label1 print(&quot;In label1&quot;) return As you can see, it has a Basic/C flavor to the syntax. I am currently trying to get Boolean expressions working so I can implement control structures. Once the control structures are in place, I will add in the necessary AA commands.
