I made a programming language in Panther!!
SimpleStart programming is a programming language developed for those who want to kick-start their career in programming. It has a similarity to the major programming languages, but was simplified, so after learning SimpleStart, learning the others won't be hard!
You can download it SimpleStart Here

Re: I made a programming language in Panther!!
Nice! show the ST. They might add it to Scratch 2.0.
Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

Syntax...
@SIMPLESTART SYNTAX
_ = string/variable
dialog;_,_ = shows a dialog
ask;_ = asks a question
ask.dialog;_ = asks a question in a dialog
camera.add; = adds camera to costumes
camera.replace;_ = replace a costume with camera
background;_ = switches to specified background
set.var;_,_ = Set's a var.
change.var;_,_ = Changes a var.
make.var;_ = Makes a var.
delete.var;_ = Deletes a var.
stop.all; = Stop's all.It's not finished, and I wont give it to anyone until I have enough. It can
read variables... e.g....Code:
ask.dialog;how are you? dialog;You wrote...,+answer+It's so easy.
I thought I'd just post this, because, it's programming scratch, but with text!
Pretty cool! I have one suggestion. Since you're using objects and properties (camera is an object, replace is a function) It might make more sense to swap them around like so:
dialog;_,_ = shows a dialog
ask;_ = asks a question
dialog.ask;_ = asks a question in a dialog
camera.add; = adds camera to costumes
camera.replace;_ = replace a costume with camera
background;_ = switches to specified background
var.set;_,_ = Set's a var.
var.change;_,_ = Changes a var.
var.make;_ = Makes a var.
var.delete;_ = Deletes a var.
all.stop; = Stop's all.
So you put the method, property or function after the object, especially as you've already done this for camera and having them on different sides to each other depending on the object will just confuse people 
this will also make things easier when your language starts dealing with various sprites:
sprite1.costume;1
sprite2.costume.height
etc

They were thinking of adding a text-based scratch. lots of people wanted it.

Re: I made a programming language in Panther!!
For objects you could use stuff like
sprite.make:(spritename),(spriteimageurl)/(spriteimagefiledirectory),

Re: I made a programming language in Panther!!
I should make one, either based off of this that I made a while ago or the panther blocks too, but it would be slightly different than yours.

Re: I made a programming language in Panther!!
YYEESS!
Booleans and looping created!
Booleans are a bit limited though, as...
You can only call ONE boolean at a time.
here's what it's like...
dialog.ask;How are you?;
boolean.create;+answer+,I'm fine;
dialog;Oh, I'm fine too!;<>
all.stop;;<>
dialog;I don't know what you just said!
The syntax for all.stop is 100% correct.
That translate to...
Ask the user if they are ok.
If the answer was "I'm fine", set the main boolean to "true", if not, set it to "false".
Show a dialog saying the PC is fine IF the main boolean is true.
Stop the following of the script if the main boolean is true.
Show a dialog saying the PC doesn't understand you if the boolean is false.
Cool, huh?

Re: I made a programming language in Panther!!
OK, I'll reply
The thing looked pretty cool, I saw the syntax before you edited it out the post! An interesting thing for panthererers, maybe you can upload it to mod share once i'm done with it too!
