Code DXiner, Code Base Trac Site

Code DXiner (pronounced Designer) is an idea for a software tool to design software (no, it's not UML)
It's one concept that can be viewed in two flavours that are essentially the same, but have different modes of use :

Textual Code DXiner

• TDX is like any other ALGOL based text based language (and c/c++/c# et.al) produced in a '.tdx' file with a DXiner Textual Toolset and follows a Textual DXiner Grammar.

Visual Code DXiner

• VDX is a view of the sane design in a drag and drop paradigm ... the same ideas producing a '.vdx' but can export '.tdx' files too and uses a DXiner Visual Toolset.

The output stage of all this design work, isn't just pretty pictures, but code and documentation ... but it will need "configuring" (it's something you might have to work on) to get it the flavour of output you like.

This is where the coding will be done

As soon as enough design work done in the docs section (see below ) it'll be coded up and off we go. The main stream of the development will be written in ...

• LL2(1) - yet another recursive decent compiler compiler, the second version of an LL(1) utility available inside.
• C - for the lexical analysis ( nice and nippy ) - albeit old.
• C# for the GUI stuff
• Python ( and/or SGI ) for the generation stuff.
• and once it's up and going the rest will be written in itself.
