Here is a brief progress report on HN5 development for the month of November 2020.
The aim is to get the Chart demo project running inside HN5 Creator IDE.
The development is being carried out on a Windows 7 x64 machine with regular testing of HN5 on Linux(Lubuntu).
The development language is Free Pascal which should ensure HN5 will be able to run on a variety of Operating Systems, both newer and older versions. The main targets being Windows, OS X and Linux.
COMPILERThe compiler and debugger is being tested, debugged and integrated into the Editor.
It can already compile much of the Chart project.
There were some major problems with the debugging under Free Pascal on Windows x32 builds but it won't delay progress any further:-
