A92: IDEA
Boy I just had a weird idea. Could someone write a Windows program that
would read an asm file and create a flowchart based on labels that begin
with, say, capital letters or that do not begin with "/". That would be
so cool! But that's not all. It should be more like a development
environment, where you would start with an object (a box) called
"_main", you would double-click on that object, and a window would pop
up, allowing you to attach code to that object (the code that goes under
the label _main). Then you would press a button, and bang! a new object
created, and you name it Sub1. With a movement of a mouse you connect
"Sub1" to" _main" with a line! Clicking on the line changes the nature
of the link (bsr or bxx, in the case of the latter, you choose on the
pop-up menu which one). The appropriate bsr, bra, rts statements are
automatically inserted at the current cursor positions. And thus you
create a program, first constructing the sceleton of objects, then
attaching code to them, having several child windows open only for the
objects you're working on.
Such an interface would greatly facilitate deciphering other peoples
code, creating modular, bugless, easy to maintain programs, cutting
development time greatly, etc.
I would take a shot at it, but unfortunately my knoweledge of Windows
programming is very shallow, to put it mildly. I know however, that
many people on this list are very talented Windows programmers. If this
environment could be integated with B. Scherrer's upcoming development
kit, it would be super!
So, any takers?
