BASIC Anywhere Machine

[CharlieJV]

G'day,

Just a FYI about this little project I'm working on: BASIC Anywhere Machine.

It is a TiddlyWiki that hosts a version of wwwBASIC which I am in the process of modifying significantly.

So an all-in-one-HTML file (as is TiddlyWiki) BASIC interpreter, IDE and tools, and BASIC programs stored as tiddlers. The only requirement: a web browser, whether online or offline.

A BASIC that is enhanced with TiddlyWiki goodness (transclusion of BASIC code snippets, for example.)

Give it a spin.

Cheers and best regards.

I'll take a look at it tonight.

G'day John, This is a slow and steady, nice and easy relaxed project Never in any rush. If and when you get around to it: feedback, questions/comments/suggestions, always welcome. Cheers !

FYI: Local storage prototype: TiddlyWiki and BASIC data exchange

A BASIC Anywhere Machine program is just a tiddler in TiddlyWiki (i.e. a page in the wiki).

To run the program, TiddlyWiki dynamically creates a web page (including an enhanced version of the wwwBasic javascript and the BASIC program stored in a tiddler) and feeds the web page to an iframe. The BASIC program knows nothing about the TiddlyWiki instance, and the TiddlyWiki doesn't know what's going on in the BASIC program.

With the prototype that you'll find in the link above, we can have TiddlyWiki and a hosted BASIC Anywhere Machine program sharing/communicating data with each other via a web browser's local storage.

This opens up a possibly large bunch of possibilities related to BASIC Anywhere Machine programs enhanced by TiddlyWiki and TiddlyWiki enhanced by BASIC Anywhere Machine programs.
