Re: Serious development

See below (way below).

Ultimately, I will need that.
>large picture filtering
I don't know about filtering, or working with large pixs. I think I can keep
most of the graphics small.

Yes, well ultimately I may very well rewrite in another language, but for
the prototyping speed I want to work in Euphoria initially.

Well, there you go, I did have that possibility in mind. Can you give
examples of what you mean by "certain styles of programming?" I would think
that ANY disciplined style would work. I would rather write a few additional
routines or even subsystems to emulate some of Euphoria's features via
another language, that abstain from using those features when coding in
Euphoria.

I need the variable length, one-dimensional or maybe, in a few cases, two.
I'm not opposed to dynamically allocating data structures, if I have to.
>>Good luck with it,
The working name of "it" is KXZZXK, and of course there is a story behind
that.
It's a music composition program. I am fed up with trying out the various
TOYS available as freeware/shareware. Some of them embody good ideas, but
they are all too limited. And I fear for the safety of my computer, from
crashes that take *&@#^*#@$ Windows down with the programs. My frustration
has crystalized into a determination to write my own program that will blow
the doors off the limitations of those other programs.
My friend Cameron, a professional musician, has been complaining to me about
the limitations of the various spendy commercial products, as well. Frankly,
I think I can do better. Not all in a single fell swoop, but I believe even
version 1.0 can demonstrate to the perceptive that something new, powerful,
and rich with potential has appeared.
I told Cameron that I was calling my program Composer, whereupon he, being
partial to K's, X's, and Z's, suggested Kompozer X. So to drown him in his
own medicine, so to speak, I've been calling the program KXZZXK. 'Tis just a
working name, however. 8^)
>>and let us know how its comming along.
Progress is being made, however slowly, as I have a regular job to attend to
as well.
Best regards,
George Henry
