Electro/dub kick experiments, IDE progress

Posted by Carlos508 on Nov. 18, 2011, 9:13 a.m.

My roommate is showing me some experiments he's doing with the kick sound you hear in electro/dub style music - you know that heavy heart pounding sound that lingers a for a moment or two.

DarkMatter from the GMC has been helping me come up with a design for the GM:HTML5 online IDE I'm developing, his concepts are slick. The idea is to have a coding environment that is easy enough to be used on a mobile device yet powerful compete with GM:HTML5's desktop environment.

Here is the current design:

I keep tweeting that I'll release a demo "this weekend", but for realz, this Sunday I'll have a fully functional online HTML/CSS/Javascript/PHP/MSQL editor that can be embedded in forums and blogs (not sure if embedding will be available) and allows you to code from anywhere including mobile devices.

I'm also starting to toy with the idea of just modifying GML entirely. Some things I'd like to remove are cAmEl CaSe commands that they use, adding C-Style operators like incrementors (eg y = x++), removing D&D entirely, adding native javascript and html support directly inline with GML, and support for C-Style classes.

Oh…has anyone played Alien Assault based on Warhammer 40K's Space Hulk? A…d…d…i…c…t…i…n…g. http://www.teardown.se/

IMO the font for the buttons is way too fancy for a tool. There is a reason why tools in general have neutral fonts on just about any widget.

But I'm looking forward to more of this IDE. I also tried it on my iPhone but the control panel felt a bit buggy.
