Here is a brief progress report on HN v5 development for the month of November 2022.

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 building for x32.
Note, x64 builds work just as well as x32 ones.

The development language is Free Pascal which should ensure HN5 will be able to run on a variety of older and newer Operating Systems.
The main targets being Windows, MacOS + OS X, and then Linux.


HN5 CREATOR

Creator

The Creator correctly loads the Chart project and allows it to be both edited and saved.

In the Editor there is an occasional bug when selecting an object's script in the left side list.

Previewing a card now seems to be reliable but a button with an image needs much more work.


Runtime Engine

Running the project shows that the interrupts are now working correctly as it executes the scripts without any crashes.

There is an index bug in the FOR-NEXT loop.

The PUT command with fields is not working properly.

When a runtime error occurs it loads the Editor and usually, but not always, points to the correct line.
