Soon I will be posting about the roadmap of the project, as well as updating the documentation with the new features. Also, I hope this week to document exactly how to add complete translations to any language.<br /> Here is the post about the release:</p> <p><a href="http://blog.minibloq.org/2012/05/minibloqv081beta-full.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.minibloq.org/2012/05/minibloqv081beta-full.html</a></p> <p>This is the changelog:</p> <p><a href="http://blog.minibloq.org/p/versions-changelog-and-known-issues.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.minibloq.org/p/versions-changelog-and-known-issues.html</a></p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Julián </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=734#post-7102 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 18:20:33 +0000 juliandasilva 7102@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Thanks poslathian!

BTW, I don't found a way in the forum to be notified when posted on the threads I'm interested. Is there a way to do that?<br /> Cheers!<br /> Julián </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=734#post-4487 Wed, 04 May 2011 22:33:22 +0000 poslathian 4487@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>gbulmer,<br /> We've actually met with the guy from modkit a couple of times, I dont know what (if anything) may happen in terms of collab. We have current no active plans for a graphical tool, we are happy to continue watching minibloq and others development unfold.

With a bit of judicious googling, I did some small experiments over Christmas in building a Scratch-inspired SVG+JavaScript UI, and it was surprisingly straightforward. I used Mac OS X OmniGraffle to create a few Scratch-like blocks, and saved them as SVG. I used them to support drag &amp; drop using a bit of JavaScript. </p> <p>I believe significant chunks of an (experimental) 'execution engine' for a successor to Scratch is published as Open Source.<br /> IMHO, if you really got the right mentality (I don't think Modk.it has "got it" yet), it might work very well.</p> <p>I'm confident you folks could get going in a long weekend, if those restrictions made sense, and you understood JavaScript.</p> <p>IMHO a browser hosted equivalent to Scratch is more than weeks of work to build, but it isn't years either. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=734#post-4325 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 17:58:13 +0000 poslathian 4325@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>looking forward to the release! </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=734#post-4323 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 16:07:03 +0000 juliandasilva 4323@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Hi, thanks!</p> <p>Regarding the targets, they can be configured by the manufacturers (or even by the end-users). This is hardcoded now, but in the first release I hope the stuff will be ready (or the like :) ). To add a target, you need to provide:</p> <p>1. The toolchain (or you can use one of the already deployed toolchais, like the WinAVR, for Arduinos, etc.). There is a place to put the folder with the toolchain. It must contain the compiler, linker and bootloader software, in command line versions, or if it's not an standard compiler-linker-bootloader toolchain, there is no proble, because you provide the commands in the XML (next point).</p> <p>2. The XML file that tells the environment wich blocks are compatible with your target (yes, we try to make the blocks as independent as possible from the targets). More on this will appear in the blog's documentation with the release of the software. The XML tells the environment which commands invoke too.</p> <p>3. The images (optional) so the environment can show the user the board on the hardware window.</p> <p>4.If there are blocks specifically designed for your target, they must be provided too.</p> <p>So, for FPGAs, if there are command-line tools, I think Minibloq can do the job. We even want to add an interpreted mode in the future to generate such things as GCode, etc..</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Julián </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=734#post-4307 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 11:31:02 +0000 poslathian 4307@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Julian,<br /> This looks very interesting. I wonder if there is room for an FPGA compilation target... I look forward to checking out your project! </p>
