This is a very interesting idea, and one that seems "do-able". A wild guess is that it would be on the same order of complexity as writing a complete, easy to use interface to Windows. With Euphoria, you are working with a very small number of commands and datatypes. That would minimize the number of "objects" and "connections". Even a subset of the Eu 1.5 core language would make a usable system. > I have been thinking about this for a while, > I think that I am going to try to do it with Dos though, I think the > Windows 32 interface is not what I want right now. ... Good decision - Windows may impose too much of itself on what you are trying to do. Too limiting, plus tons of extra code you'd add just to keep Windows happy. There was an article in (BYTE, I think) a few years ago about programming in 3-D. (Not 3-D graphcs programming, but writing programs using a 3-D interface) It was a theoretical article discussing the concepts , but there were some screen shots of a program being "built" - the interpreter running on a mainframe at some university. > And am trying to do somthing like this...calling project EUGUI.
