SpiderBasic 3.00 is out !

I can't find the beta for download by the life of me. I still have access to the museum and can download all versions up to the latest I had a license for (2.50). Hence, the question for the screenshots.

Hm, maybe write an email to Fred so you can test the beta. It's worth!


I also created a web app from Fred's first example. You can download it here; that's better than a screenshot.

That looks fantastic! Thank you very much. I'm looking really forward on that, as it seems really mobile-friendly. That would be a huuuuuuge benefit for SB!

Hello everyone,

The next major version of SpiderBasic is coming and brings a brand new library to easy create mobile UI, with both Android and iOS native look ! As the lib is big, this is a still a work in progress to get your feedback and see what should be added/modified to get good mobile UI support. We use a patched version of OnsenUI 2 to power this (https://onsen.io/)

The idea behind the layout is to have some container (Page, Navigator, TabBar) and then you can add a toolbar, some rows and/or a list. Each row or list item can contain up to 3 objects (on left, center and right). While testing this, resize your navigator to have a mobile look for better experience. ...

This mobile thing is really awesome and a huge improvement. No more fiddling with Gadgets and Sizes. I really love that.
Thank you!

Time to raise the major version to 3.00 as we successfully added a built-in WebView in the IDE and an integrated debugger ! All the libraries have now a debug runtime check and if an error is detected, the correct line/file in the IDE will be highlighted, like in PureBasic. The debugger is still very scarce (no dynamic breakpoint, stop/step/continue) but it is actually working and should ease a lot the development.

The WebView is a tool, so you can either embed it in the right panel or in a separate window. If the WebView tool isn't activated (removed from the panel and not displayed), then the default browser is used as usual. The Debug output window is now also handled by the IDE when the WebView is used. SaveDebugOutput() and CopyDebugOutput() commands have been added.

Here is a screenshot in action:
