Devlog 10: asdf

I’ve been trying to add a GUI system to the standard library. Because I don’t want any dependencies, I came up with the following harebrained scheme:

• Write a Python script that formats its stdin in a Tkinter window to draw a GUI
• When the function to create a window is called, spawn Python as a sub-process and send the text to be displayed to its input via a pipe

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work. The script works when run on its own, but when run by Ile it just doesn’t launch a window. I couldn’t figure this out, so the GUI system (VeBaGu, or Very Bad GUI) is staying, albeit in an unstable beta state.

On a side note, I’ve also decided to ditch the editor idea and just focus on the language; this Stardance project is now just Ile, not Crocodile.
