DarkBASIC Network IDE - Official thread
This is the official thread of what we'll be referring to as DBN or DarkBASIC Network. This is an alternative IDE to that of DarkBASIC Professional not DarkBASIC Classic.So far the DBN team consists of five members: me, Cellbloc Studios, Thanatos, Spline, and Powersoft.
This is the basic outline of what we are trying to accomplish, before we release the final version (we will release full source code of the project before then, but the final version will include all the media and the latest compilation of the code that will be used)
Basics of what we try to accomplish:
1) Mimic the appearance of BlueIDE
2) Sending of messages to other computers through the IDE - a way of communication between differenct computers (connected to a network) who are working on the same project.
3) The ability to have account files to customize the IDE to that of how the user wishes every time it is loaded. Thus the reason for the logon process
4) Easy to use help files
5) Gentle Appearance in the look of the program.
6) For the code to actually compile
Stuff we are
not planning at this time:
1) Online group projects through Ethernet, Cable, DSL, Internet, Satellite, etc.
What we have so far:
1)Visual Studio .NET 2005 GUI
2) At the moment we are reaching 8000 lines of [visual basic.net]code, which is ever increasing
In what areas do we need help:
1) Graphics (Logos, icons and misc images, etc.)
2) Odds and end of code (Color coding of the text, getting interaction between programs, etc.)
3) Advice on features of the IDE
So we need:
1) 1 forum members who can help with graphics relating to DBN
2) All forum members can give advice for the project but only those who I say our the DBN team members can say if the advice is acceptable for the project or not, and people can look at the source code provided at the bottom or close to the bottom of this page, I will ask that this is the only forum where you use any part of this code, but you can however have links to this forum whenever you want.
Limitations of communication between members of the team:
1) Nothing can be sent to me/Thanatos through email
2) Media can be stored by attaching files to your posts
3) This is an open source project so media/ code examples can be put on this thread
Requirements of the program:
1) WindowsXP (not sure if works on other platforms)
4)
.NET framework - This is required now that DBN will powered by Visual STudio .NET. You might eventually need the full .NET framework, not just the compact framework.
All who help with the creation of this project will be in mentioned in the credits and will be thanked for their efforts. Any help will be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
1tg46, Thanatos and the rest of the DarkBASIC Network Team
Any part of what has been stated can change at any time without any notice.
