IDE features

[Aratsu]

I have just recently found PPL and am pretty excited by its simple syntax and rather powerful underlying structure, but am kind of annoyed at the IDE. Since this is the `Pocket Programming Language', and the IDE is on the PPC, there should be some sort of simple menu-driven way to put the majority of the features into the IDE (sort of plug and play, IE: Click code menu/Math/TAN, and tan(X) is inserted into the editor, and the cursor is moved where the X is), that would make input quicker when developing on the device.

Hi,

This feature is included in version 0.2 of the beta. It is very powerfull and users can define their own menus. Version 0.2 is going to be released tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Don't forget that the PPL editor for the PPC is a work in progress and will improve in future releases.

This new version will also come with the Desktop IDE called PIDE for PPL IDE and is looking very nice right now. I still cannot get it to call PPL on the PPC to compile the code, but it does transfer the files from the desktop to the PPC quite easily. I hope to have complete integration with the compiler and error reporting (on the desktop) in the next release (0.4 that is!).

Regards,
