Yello there! :)
I am just wondering, what everybody here programmed when he first got Euphoria?
What that program did? (Btw, if you wrote a program that writes your name on
the device, don't write me this one...write me something serious..:) Are you
still programming it? Are you going to release it as SWare,FWare, PD or
something else?
Thanks for your replies.
P.S. Say NO to Complicated Communication Ways! (I mean IRC)
C'ya!

My first programs in Euphoria were graphics tests, which became demos I
distributed to everyone. Then I started Crash Course, then OidZone...

Well, the first few little programs I made were some moving demos (i.e. moving
a .bmp file around the screen using the arrow keys). After that, I decided to
see if I could make a serious game based on Nibbles (just to see if I could),
with upgraded graphics. I also added Jacques Deschene's sound coding just for
kicks. I just completed it, and you can find the game's source code at the
Official Euphoria Page. Now its time for something original. Any ideas?

(you should thank people AFTER they reply. oh well) Well, thank god we seen an
end to this crazy IRC topic. But did you notice since then we only had a few
letters to the mailing list. Just a thought.

Well, the first program I wrote was an extension of the supplied DB demo.
You can find the source code at the Official Euphoria Page.
More recently, the posted matrix.e so Euphoria can be used for engineering
calculations.

My first euphoria program was a password program for my girlfriend's
computer. I don't do much real programming. Just half-assed code to
get a job done.

I started working on a GUI that looked very similar to Windows 95. It
worked well, and my god the buttons actually worked! Because I don't
have time anymore, I don't program...but I try to read these messages.
I'm waiting for the Windows 95 version....

Hello Izchak,
You Asked:
> I am just wondering, what everybody here programmed when he first got Euphoria
?
I tried to open WordPerfect 5.1 files and tried to extract
information from it. It worked but the structure declaration is
somewhat odd in Euphoria but after a while you get used to it and
don't anything else. And further: I try to make databases and
indexfiles in Euphoria.

Now, I'm working on a translation of a Turbo Pascal programm. Now I'm
in contact with Borland America to handle the copyrights of it. If
they cooperate then I release it for free on this forum and if it
cost me money, for a small fee. And if they don't cooperate I'm
doomed to used only for myself. Until now I waiting on a reply on my
letter.

Rewrote 'GUPI' (Grab UPI news files) originally in my poor 'C' knowledge,
and wrote
NEWZ-1, an offline reader for those who want to read the output of GUPI!
>What that program did?
Extracts news articles from UPI News sent via satellite.
>Are you going to release it as SWare,FWare, PD
They're out as SWare, distributed via satellite to those who can use it.
Unasked question: What do you WISH you could do with it?
Unasked answer: Get it to interact over a modem.
