agumaSpark GUI v0.3 Demo 2!
Well I added a bunch of other commands and the stack-based language is actually really fast and easy! The only thing is that now it takes a while to load all the controls because my script got bigger (lol). Anyway tell me if there's something wrong with it or something like that! :) P.S. Brandon, it's dos compiled now so you can stop saying windows dos guis. So hah! lol [file name=demo2.zip size=118325]http://theguiblog.com/images/fbfiles/files/demo2.zip[/file]		2009-03-073:52 PM

Impressive, I guess GUI Awards '09 might be interesting :) MWAHAHAHAHAHA		2009-03-075:20 PM

This project is moving along amazingly quickly. I like how everything seems to work well, without any weird glitches also. One thing you might not be aware of, the traditional way to do jumps and the like in a stack based language is to define new words rather than using GOTO type things. so in FORTH defining a word that prints Hello World looks like this: [code]: HI ." Hello, world!" ;[/code] In your language it might look like this [code]DEFINE HI PSTRHello, world! PRINT END [/code] or something. You'll notice that define is special and doesn't take all its arguments (or even any, in this case) from the stack. You may want to try your hand at making a nicer syntax. it actually isn't hard at all to parse out space separated words (one scripter I wrote was , 		2009-03-075:49 PM

Well, my idea of it was to have the scripting language as fast as possible, and then make a compiler to compile some sort of more easy-to-figure-out language into the scripting language. That way it's still possible to use, but not deathly slow (DUN DUN DUN...) Also, the fact that I didn't do GOTOs traditionally was for two reasons: 1. Because it's not supposed to be entirely a stack-based language, and 2. I didn't really know that was how they did it (lol :laugh: ). Since I'm starting to sound really defendant of my code, I'm going to stop there. :P		2009-03-078:51 PM

Basically the difference is between using GOTOS and defining subs/functions. Faster implementations (your processor) use GOTOS, but languages designed for people tend to use functions. I like your idea of compiling to your script code.		2009-03-0710:51 PM
