I have no idea how I survive. I see computers with 100+ GB of space, mind if I use one of the flash drives, how else will I get C and all those other programming languages, just put the flash drive on the network so I can access them.    lol If you could really do that... But if you do, mind having them on already, as I have no idea how to get it on there. 

Hehe, our new computer has 600GB. Talk about a lot of space!

However, before we got this computer (mid-September) we only had 10GB of space, I didn't have admin privs and my parents had really tightened security (they could track everything I was doing on the internet - or so they claimed -, as if I was going to do anything inappropriate) and it took AT LEAST 30 minutes to start up, log in, and open up the internet. I'm so glad we got a new computer 

Hey I have a 500GB internal drive in a LAPTOP and me and my brother share a 1 TERABYTE external drive

Iv got 70.3GB on mine

I got 20 gigs left. What do you want me to do? Where do I download the latest beta?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!! Graphics? how much, and what do they look like?!

Marky: It doesn't work, you can't run any program at all.

Filo: Now time to get Coolstuff movin'

Well, that was the 0.3 floppy uploaded, so we will wait till fixed. And besides, no commands were added or ANYTHING but a screen.

We'll need to get emerald to parse text from a normal file (this Pickles stuff is weird, man!) because Diamond can save either plain text or XML, but Pickles are Python-only, so...

Just make it,

If code = "Run"
execute dimond.exe
end if = (What ever you want it to end)

Marky: And I'm not sure how to do that. 

Pro: I'm Magnie, and I have no idea how you thought that, please explain?

ok, back on topic here.

Diamond is an external editor for Emerald scripts. It's written in C#, and it's only for windows. Why was I asking for plain text support? Because pickles-generated file looks like this:

("a"
"b"
"c"
.NaNaNa(
"a"
"b"
"c"

And it'd be much better when it's plaintext, eg.

print
A text to print

So that's why I was asking you to build in functions reading and writing Emerald scripts as plaintext. It could look like this:

!EMERALD VERSION 0.3
!!name=Script name
!!author=Script author
#variable=value
#another_variable=another value
print
Hi there. I'm an Emerald script.
wait
2
ask
Do you like me? (Please answer yes or no)
variable
print
So, you...
if <variable = yes>
{
print
..like...
}
else
{
print
..don't like...
}
print
Bye then!
end

XML would be even better but oh well. And, it's really based on ribbon interface, although there's still a "normal" window bar (I mean ribbons are inside a window).

Yep, this way you can program without the need of Emerald, you only need Emerald to run it.

Here's my code. I guess I shouldnt've done this, but ah well.

import pickle

print "Emerald 0.1 by Greatdane" #Header
print "Commands:" #Commands
print "view- View list"
print "quit- Quit"
print "help- Help"

global run
global commands
run = 1 #Variables
commands = [] #Command list
variables = [] #Program Variables
variableValue = [] #Program variable values

yno1 = raw_input("Would you like to load a program? y/n ")
if yno1 == 'y':
    tfile = raw_input("Which file? ")
    pfile = open(tfile, 'r')
    pfll = pickle.load(pfile)
    commands = [pfll]
    pfile.close()

while run == 1: #Main loop
    
    tinput = raw_input(">>> ") #Checking for input
    
    if tinput == "quit": #Quit?
        print ">>>x"
        run = 0
        
    elif tinput == "view": #View?
        print ">>> " + str(commands)

    elif tinput == "help": #Help?
        print ">>>["
        print "Just type commands to program. More functionality coming soon!"
        print "Commands"
        print "view- View list"
        print "quit- Guit"
        print "help- Help"
        print "]"
        
    else:
        commands.append(tinput)

Is there anything wrong with it? I get an error. It's not complete yet.
