WUDSN IDE has always been open source, but the source code has only been included in the plugins. Keeping backups manually, keeping track of the changes, and building releases are cumbersome for me and are part of why updates have been rare. I have invested much time in providing a daily build to iterate faster. And finally, I have climbed the hills of Git in Eclipse, GitHub, and TLS 1.2 to reasonably make the source available to the public. From today on, the source code is available on GitHub via https://github.com/peterdell/wudsn-ide.
Consequently, the source code will be removed from future feature builds. This will make the plugin installation even smaller.

It is always gratifying to see people who like the result of the complex and utterly useless demo coding for obsolete machines. So here's a nice video from a Polish guy I don't know.
"In June 2017, this demo appeared. It is an advertisement for the Silly Venture 2017 party. JAC wrote this demo (or call it invitro)!, and Glafouk did the music for this demo. It's a 16kb production, and it's already loaded here on EPROM. I will keep myself silent 'coz I don't want to make noise. The most important thing is what will happen on the screen in a moment. I hope you will enjoy it. How did you like the demo? I am thrilled. Call it intro, invitro, whatever. I am just thrilled. Excellent cooperation of coders; those pals are genuinely impressive.
Thanks, man, for these encouraging words! I'll consider them a kick in my a... to get my Silly Venture 2018 done and check my hotel bookings asap :-)

Today I can finally release the two Atari BASIC games I created with my daughter Helena in 2016. She had to give away her smartphone for two weeks because she did nothing else more than play with the smartphone. Everyday family life wasn't possible anymore. Instead, she received an Atari 800 XL with two joysticks, a datasette, and, sometime later, a floppy drive. And we sat down together to dive into Atari BASIC and game coding essentials.
Or, as an old friend of mine put it, "The Atari is exactly what your parents had to take away from you" :-)
In this video, she presents the results of our efforts.

Today I found a pleasant surprise in my mailbox with neat goodies and my first physical trophy. I already found the best place to put it :-). Thanks, Grey, and count me in for Silly Venture 2k18!

In May this year, an excellent port of the classic arcade game Time Pilot was released for the Atari XL/XL line of computers. And as I found out today, it was created using WUDSN IDE. The complete sources of the game are available for download at http://timepilot.atari.pl and on GitHub. Thumbs up to New Generation for this masterpiece and releasing the source code so others can learn from it.
