Introducing Structured Extended BASIC and TiCodEd
Wouldn't it be nice to have modern, structured Extended Basic on your TI-99/4a ? No need for GOTO's anymore? Using a Windows PC Editor with syntax-highlighting and save your work directly to a FIAD Disk, ready to use from an emulator with a stock Extended Basic module?
Well, here it is. I am happy to present you TiCodEd. It offers:
Modern Basic without line numbers
Translation to Standard Extended Basic
Saving of files in tokenized format in FIAD
Simply one EXE file, no run-time or installation required
Syntax Highlighting and Code-Completion
You can have much more comfort in editing your source, enjoy a good readable format with indention and without line numbers, but structured elements like REPEAT-UNTIL and WHILE-ENDWHILE, in addition to labels. With one click this can not only be converted to Standard Extended Basic, but also written to TIFILES in tokinized format to be directly used by an emulator like Classic99 using OLD DSKx.<yourfile>.
Your program is working perfect? TiCodEd can also write the program in MERGE format for direct use in the XB Compiler to be compiled. To see what can be done this way just look at Extended Parsec, T.E.R.O. or ScuttleButt/4a.
