CodeLine is an Integrated Development Environment for developing full fledged native Mac OS X applications in object-oriented BASIC language. It includes support for system frameworks like Cocoa, WebKit, etc. and can easily produce Universal Binaries.

It is a "Developer Preview" intended to show the possibilities of this proyect. Examples and a quick documentation are included.

Here are some key features of "CodeLine":
Program in BASIC using advanced language features:

  • Use common BASIC language commands like DIM, FOR, IF, WHILE.
  • Easy string handling: myString = "Hello World!", compatible with NSString.
  • Case insensitive language helps avoiding syntax errors.
  • Object orientation.
  • Multiple commands per line possible.

    Use native system frameworks:
  • Total access to system frameworks like Cocoa, WebKit, etc.
  • Use the native frameworks' functions, classes and commands.
  • Declare your own class extension to existing framework classes.
  • Support for Cocoa/Obj-C's target/action and delegate object mechanisms.
  • Create your own classes adding instance or class methods and properties.
  • Support to easily implement the overriding of super classes methods.
  • No need to update CodeLine to have access to new features introduced by future framework revisions.

    Create Universal Binaries:
  • One click activation. The IDE knows all necessary configurations and build steps.

    Standards compatible:
  • Uses standard GCC (compiler) and GDB (debugger) also used by XCode.
  • Can import NIB files.
  • Transparently generates intermediate Obj-C code that can be imported in
  • XCode projects.

    Other features::
  • No need to write header files to create a new class.
  • No need to import other classes headers.
  • Dead Code Stripping.
  • Multiple pass compilation allows fast error detection before actual compilation.
  • Smart compilation only complies classes and modules that have been modified.
  • Fast IDE and fast compilation.
  • Very small binaries. Starting with about 28 KB!
  • No need to create plugins. All system commands available in the IDE.
  • Automatic configuration without the need of complex build configurations.
  • Common tools included: debugger, undo, find, etc.

    What's New:
  • Basic support for Mac OS 10.3.9, gcc 3.3 and Mac OS 10.3.9 SDK
  • Near full complete Cocoa framework.
  • Many new examples.
    CodeLine 0.2 supports english interface languages and works with Mac OS X.
