TwinBasic & RADBasic

[baka]

since theres no thread about this I think its time to make one.
check https://www.twinbasic.com/
and now (2021-01-19) theres 5 videos to watch and planned release February 2021

this could be it. but before we start the festivities lets wait for the release so we can play around first.

the reason to start this thread is to notify about news, this because the other 2 threads Vb6 , the Future, and what I have discovered and [RESOLVED] Develop a new/modern VB6-IDE that mention twinbasic are not updated.

comparing the VB6 IDE and TwinBasic, I prefer VB6 as Im used to it. so hopefully it can be customized a bit, colors, font etc.
sure I will get used to it eventually. the importance is the language and how easy is to find in the code, organize it etc.

-----------------
and we also have RADBasic: https://www.radbasic.dev/
that claims to be the next thing for VB6, but no news the last 6 months!

Come on me ... TwinBasic

Should this also be the TwinBasic and RADBasic thread? I know there is a RADBASIC thread https://www.vbforums.com/showthread....light=radbasic but the two new projects need to be kept in the communities' consciousness at the same time and with equal attention. Both projects have potential and are deserving.

@WaynePhillipsEA,

With just a week left for January to end when is TwinBasic planning to release its creation in February. Any date guess?

[yereverluvinuncleber]

They'll be late, we are ALL late.

[baka]

new page and new video!

It's still in the oven baking ...

The RADBasic dev is working hard to get something ready for testing. I'm not sure whether it will be released for general testing or just to a select group of testers but something is emerging from the pipeline shortly. Just an update to keep the thread warm.

[Episcopal]

I may be wrong, but apparently the twinbasic goes further ...

[Semke]

waiting with anticipation.
I hope its as good as its reporting, I wonder which one will be first/better, TwinBasic or RADBasic. they both sound like my dream coming true

[baka]

just 4 more days and after that they failed the release date.
understandable that it can take more time, thats the life of a dev. but I hope its nothing serious that halted the development

Hello everyone. Just wanted to pop in and give you an update on twinBASIC developments.

Our home-schooling requirements during the UK national lockdown has affected our work output more significantly than anticipated. We are working night and day to get as much done as possible, and things are progressing well, but despite our best efforts our work output is only a third of where it would normally be.

The good news is that our kids go back to school on 8th March, and normal operations will then resume. The first twinBASIC release will now be rescheduled for March. Please accept our apologies. I promise it will be worth the wait!

np, good to know its "life" that is slowing things down, as its usually that, circumstances.
the importance is that the motivation is there and the coding is going smoothly without giving too much headaches.
one month extra is nothing with such big project. keep it up!
and hopefully we will win against this virus so we can resume normality, if theres even possible to get back to what it was.
