Yes, I am getting back to the Desktop Basic again. After a great summer, I am starting high school and am having a hell of a time. So, Desktop Basic will be a huge improvement over 1.0. I plan to introduce new graphics, more programs and more advanced programs. I also plan to add an installation feature, so people can write VB based plugins for it. I will not announced a possible release date, for I fear I won't finish by that date. All I can say is that I hope for release before this years science fair.
Quote from basef.ca: "The 46th annual science fair for Hamilton, Halton Region and Haldimand, Norfolk and Brant Counties will be held March 29th to April 1st at Mohawk College." This is where Desktop Basic 1.0 will be shown. If you live in the area of that region, please drop by. Just say you were referred by my SF website. You'll make me happy :). Public viewing is on Saturday, April 1st between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
Changelog: 1.0 Rev 1: - Fixed all the Resize glitches - Added a font-changer to the NotePad - Changed the icons to a different set (thanks to the BlueSphere Project) - Changed the WavePlay name, now known as Audio Player - Fixed the Calculator glitch, you can now use it for more than 2 numbers (stupid VB code...) 1.0: First version!
