[tw5] BASIC Anywhere Machine: running programs via "launcher(?)" tiddlers

Not quite sure “launcher” is the right word for it …

I had presented earlier the awesomeness of injecting TiddlyWiki goodness into BASIC programs, and this kind of takes that to the next level.

In this video, I demonstrate a “program launcher” tiddler with a simple GUI for configuring the settings for the BASIC program before running that program via the RUN button that is right there in the “program launcher” tiddler.

We can use this approach to create however intricate a program launcher for adjusting a BASIC program however necessary for the current needs.

BASIC programming aside, some might find interesting (entertaining?) the way I’ve setup the “RUN” button to display in the tiddler toolbar (but only tiddlers that have “.BAS” in the title), and how I’ve setup a tiddler template for re-using that same button in the example “program launcher” tiddler.

Cheers !
