Here is a brief progress report on HN5 development for the month of April 2020.
LOAD PROJECT
Parsing of an HN v2,3,4 project file is over 95% done-
- creation of nearly all objects.
- loading code.
- code tables.
- still needs some data decompression.
RUNTIME ENGINE
Filled in more functions relevant to Project Loading.
CARD CREATOR WINDOW
Creation of some controls for Project Loading.
COMPILER
Filled in more pass 3 compiler functionality.
PLATFORMS
HN5 will run on multiple platforms:- Windows, OS X, Linux Ubuntu etc, Raspberry Pi.
HN5 will not create cross platform binaries as earlier version of HN(v1 to 4) did.
Instead, HN5 Creator will build a universal stack that will be runnable on any platform having a HN5 Player.
To users of the stack it will seamlessly appear to be an app, just like Java apps appear to be.
