Dear Euphorians
How about a tiny Euphoria for Win CE or Palm?
If the Win CE version came with a wrapper for Microsoft's Embedded Visual Basic
environment (which is available as a free download from their site), one could
write some pretty nifty Pocket PC applications.
Might I also humbly repeat my request that RDS consider making it possible to
expose the Euphoria interpreter at runtime so that Euphoria could be used as a
front-end scripting language in built apps.
Thanks to Rob Craig and all the folks at RDS for a wonderful development tool. I
am truly smitten!
Best

2. Re: Euphoria Idea
I personally think it would be a great idea to have a Palm version of Euphoria.
Though I think that the powers-that-be will probably be working on much more
mundane stuff :(
Let's hope the RDS team expands a bit and more people can work on more
interesting uses for Euphoria - maybe to bring it into use on some commercial
apps as well.
Just my 2 pence worth.
3. Re: Euphoria Idea
This idea certainly has some merit.
I just completed a feasibility study for a client on deploying his apps
to mobile and embedded devices. The choices for programming languages are
very limited to say the least. The other issue is a suitable graphics API.
It would take some doing to get his apps ported...
I discovered during my analysis the OpenGL ES project. The OpenGL ES
project is moving along very nicely and will provide a small footprint
OpenGL API variant for mobible/embedded devices. A number of companies
are already adopting and contributing to the effort. The URL is:
http://www.khronos.org/opengles is anyone is interested.
Now, what we need is a spiffy, fun to code, simple to learn, extendable
language to bind to OpenGL ES.
Hmm, any suggestions? 8^)

There is also TinyGL: http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/TinyGL/
It's a software only implementation of a subset of OpenGL that's also suitable
for embedded devices.
