Description: |
AMTPE needs a better debugging environment. Some features to add: 1. A visual debugger instead of/in addition to, a command line 2. Watch the values of objects during execution 3. Change the value of objects 4. Set breakpoints before execution starts, so we can debug code that gets executed before the first screen without adding a hard breakpoint. 5. Permit saving/restoring of breakpoint sets Integrated debugger in AMT debug title |

59. Better compiler checking |
|---|---|
|
Date: |
15 August 1996 |
|
Description: |
The AMTPE K compiler does not report when you forget to put self before a variable defined in an object. God knows how many hours I've wasted tracking down those missing selfs. Since the object is not defined anywhere else, why doesn't the compiler report it as undefined? |

57. Better AMT plug-in mechanism |
|---|---|
|
Date: |
15 August 1996 |
|
Description: |
Let AMT have some kind of plugin architecture where extensions can be written in C or maybe even using AMTPE. The current engine concept does not really work since you cannot combine engines from different vendors. The changes doesn't that have to be big because we just need a codefragment manager for AML. And some extra C functions to initialize a plugin. This also means that Codes folder is a group of plugins code. |

|---|---|

Date: |

It would be nice to have two check boxes attached to each object in the object list to directly access the enabled and shown attributes of an object without double clicking on an object. This could also be stretched to allow selecting multiple objects and assigning these attributes all at once, i.e. making all object shown and disabled. |
