QL wish list for 2013

[Mr_Navigator]

Sadly all my wishes for 2012 didn't quite come to fruition, but who knows what is in store this year.

Of the 2012

QL Games tabletop games console (putting use to the old system one more time), not yet

RaspberryPi QL (Putting the original QL BB to use one more time) ,as seen on YouTube nearly!

QDOS on a new circuit board (FPGA or other here we come), not yet

LINUX QL on a Stick, not yet still

SuperQL? Well we will see

what are yours?

[Marq]

Not that different from last year, either

Some "coder's cable" type of cheap solution for uploading code quickly to QL.

Demos, demos!

In much the same way as the 10 game QemuLator works through windows, I would like to see an editor that has all the modern day functions to assist the programmer, auto coloured text, indentation, formatting, font selection, copy and paste etc etc. That when you click on the button RUN/EXECUTE or whatever, your work is saved automatically and it drops you in to a SuperBASIC job that then runs what you have written. When you stop the program and type ED (like you do ala Toolkit II) you actually get taken back to the all singing all dancing editor. DarkBASIC pro does something like this, and I looked at the feasibility of it a couple of years ago, it is possible.

Hi,

Why use QL Emacs with the syntax highlighting to edit SBasic files.

Derek

[Mr_Navigator]

QL Emacs with the syntax highlighting to edit SBasic files.

Are there any?

Are there any?

Emacs, (somewhat)yes, Syntax highlighting, no (to my knowledge).

Apparently, there doesn't seem to exist a fully-featured real emacs port for the QL. The one available is a µEmacs-based port done by Thierry Godefroy that to my knowledge does not support syntax highlighting (but which is very feature-rich and worth a look nonetheless).

I downloaded that http://morloch.hd.free.fr/smsq/Area07/emacs400.zip tried to look at it but not a clue how to start the thing up , more reading I suppose.

from here if anyone else is interested : - http://morloch.hd.free.fr/smsq/main.html

Note you need the PE for umacs.

Note you need the PE for umacs.

If you have, simply type "ex emacs"

if only, I assume QPC2 is OK for the PE, the result of EX EMACS is 'invalid parameter
