SYMBIAN编程开发的好工具EMP 0.5

foxcon

EMP is an easy-to-use programming language for developing independent Symbian OS applications.

The EMP-language is the subject of my Master's Project and Thesis in University of Kuopio. Currently the prototype (my Master's Project) is ready and soon to be published.

My primary objective with the EMP-language was to provide an easier alternative for the Symbian OS C++ (currently the only language for developing independent Symbian OS applications).

Features
Please note that currently the EMP-language has only a small partition of the features that it might have in the future.

Key features:
Can be used for creating independent Symbian OS Applictions (.app-applications)
EMP-compiler generates Symbian OS C++-code (You can even continue your EMP-project with Symbian OS C++)
Simple application structure
Part of the Symbian OS C++-code, statements and data types are defined in xml-files
It is possible to create different versions of xml-files for different platforms (currently only the S60 1st edition is supported)

Tutorials
EMP-applications consists of an Application-block and View-blocks (currently only a one view is supported). Blocks are indicated by indenting lines of code that are part of the block. Statements are seperated with an end of the line or a dedent (in structured statements like while-statement).




Hello World:


Application HelloWorld

        Properties
                defaultview=helloview
                uid=0x10005b8e


View helloview
       
        Draw
                DrawText("Hello World!", 20,20)




Graphics:


View graphics
        Properties
                refreshrate=50 //ms
        Variables
                Bitmap bm,mask
                int x, y
        Init
                bm=LoadBitmap("bitmap.bmp")
                mask=LoadBitmap("mask.bmp")
                x=0
                y=0
        Draw
                y+=1
                x+=1
                DrawMaskedBitmap(bm,mask,x,y)
                DrawBitmap(bm, 40,40)

The first version of the EMP-compiler is released.
This version is based on the prototype of the EMP-language, so many features are missing. Currently there are no reference manual or proper tutorials, but I hope that I manage to make some in the near future.

Please note, that :

- EMP is a prototype!
- EMP applications have only been tested with Nokia N-gage.

Any information about how EMP-applications work with other devices is welcome (And ofcourse any other feedback)!

How to install:
1. Install a proper SDK (For now only the series 60 ep1 Visual Studio is properly tested).
2. Make sure that the SDK works properly.
3. Copy the EMPc-folder to the same drive that contains Symbian-SDK.
4. Create a new environment variable for Windows called "EMPcPath" and insert the path of EMPc-folder as a value (e.g. C:\Symbian\EMPc\).
5. Tweak .bat-files in EMPc-folder, so they have correct drive letters.

How to create an Eclipse-workspace for EMP:

1. Create a new workspace in Eclipse

2. Create a new simple project

3. Name your project with same name that your application will be

4. Create your applications main sourcefile (<projectname>.emp)

5. Create a new External Tool

-Change the name to EMP (for example)
-"Location" is the correct .bat-file from EMPc-folder.
-"Working directory" is $(project_loc} -variable.
-"Argumets" are ${project_name} -variable and possibly the xmlfolder (if you use any other than default)

Click run and EMP-compiler should start. (Of course with errors if you havent made any code yet)

路过,看到而已.XIXI

不过可以研究下.这还只是0.5版,也许还有很多功能需要完善补充吧
