Really nice!
But I do not get the C64 editor look stuff.
I mean why not add syntax highlighting and make this more eye friendly (neither requires abandoning a cute color scheme)?
I never had a C64, I saved 2 years so I could afford a 286, I used GWBASIC and, soon after, TurboC++. Neither had syntax highlighting. I don't think it helps kids who are getting into programming if the looks of these dev environment were regurgitated either. :)
- antirez 15y agoFor now it's just a start ;) Soon I'll add more features into the editor to make it more user friendly indeed. I don't want to add completion as IMHO does not help learning.
- virtualritz 15y agoCool. :) Btw., I assume you know LOEVE? https://love2d.org/ https://love2d.org/ Is is very similar, though the target audience is not kids. :) Personally, I think time would be well spent making a kids-friendly version of LOEVE (and ofc, porting LOEVE to Android/iOs, finally).
