#Chipmunk basic download windows how to

BTW, examples of how to add an actionListener for a button, from the book I borrowed from Carnegie Library, and from the internet, DO NOT WORK in my program.

I could do this in seconds in Visual Basic. It's like it's deliberately making it impossible for me to do simple chores. Can't do that, because now the compiler says it can't find a main method. So I have main call a non-static method called 'ShowMainWindow.' Can't do that, because a static method can't call a non-static method. Can't do that, because main is a static method. I try to add 'this' as the button's actionListener. It's proving impossible just to get Java to respond to a button click. And I can't work a regular job as long as I'm a cripple who falls asleep repeatedly during the day, not to mention getting emergency calls from Mom at any time. I need some way to earn an income, and my writing sure isn't doing it.

This may be my language of choice for my projected small software business.

Apparently a Java app will run on a Win, Linux, or Mac PC, as long as the user has the appropriate Java virtual machine installed. Notes on my progress, such as it was, follow. But it soon proved far too complicated to learn easily. Since there was a Java Virtual Machine that could be installed on Windows, Linux, or Mac OS, it would run on nearly any PC. It appeared, at first, to have many good points. On, I downloaded Java version 7 release 45, and the Java SDK, and a Java IDE. If you're too cheap to include your own help files, I don't want your damn compiler. I hate when a compiler sends you to the web for help. It took you to a web site with a forum, where you could search for something that might or might not have anything to do with your problem. Could I interpret the arcane error messages? No. On, I downloaded 'Jabaco,' which puts a VB6-like syntax over Java internals. I uninstalled it.Д«TW, always run a couple of file and registry cleaners after installing or uninstalling software. Click on overview takes me to the web (ugh, they can't bother with their own help files). Oh, goody, there's a 2013 edition! Thing takes up more than half a gigabyte. Maybe they've improved it since I checked last.

Programs blow up before you can read the console window. Error trapping is difficult to make work right. This compiler can't read strings and numbers from the same record in a file. Maybe this isn't such a great compiler after all. The help can't find the help file no matter where I move it. I didn't keep it, but, as I say, it's not a bad compiler.ДЇreeBasic doesn't give a clue how to produce GUI apps, although it claims it can. GUI programs are hard to create, so it's best for console apps. But text output can be buggy, and it's a bit verbose. On, I downloaded a programming language I hadn't heard of before: 'Elena.' I couldn't get Hello World to run without errors I couldn't correct, even copying from their own example. Then I got 'Error in resource file.' What the hell is a resource file? And WHAT KIND of error, for gosh sakes? Uninstalled. First it demanded I select an icon for the program. On, I tried Bloodshed Software's Dev-Pascal. I've had problems with it, but they're all due to my rustiness with the C++ language. But so far Dev-C/C++ is working just fine. Didn't expect much since Dev-Pascal was such a bust. I downloaded Dev-C++ a few days ago ( or so).

Here's the complete code to that program in Chipmunk Basic: Oh, I should add, Hello World works right the first time. You could write some pretty sophisticated programs with this little bugger. It has object-oriented programming available. That's right, classes, which you can add methods to. In addition to the usual commands, you can have named subroutines (rather than 'gosub,' although the named ones run more slowly), they can return values (thus acting as named functions), and there are types and classes. And it works fine.ДЄnd the language is more sophisticated than I expected. I think this one used to be Mac only, but now there's a Windows version. Just () downloaded Chipmunk Basic for Windows-a Basic interpreter of the old school, where you need line numbers unless you load code from a file. An impressive accomplishment, but not too useful to me personally. The author appears to be a bright child whose first language was not English. Though advertised as a compiler, it's an interpreter, and while it does lots of neat things, getting math done with it is difficult. Turned out to be 'Beginner's Programming Language,' and the name is appropriate. On, I tried another programming language, 'BPL.' I couldn't resist my own initials.
