Scheme-Windows-Tiled-Shell

This is a windows workspace for Chez Scheme.

Reason

Provides a simple alternative to a terminal; creates a workspace type interface; prevents text rushing off the screen; places results and output into different panes from the script source.

  • Uses tiled panes rather than overlapping windows
    • with several standard arrangements that rearrange the panes in a useful way.
  • Provides a graphical output pane; for drawings and animations.
  • I use versions of this application to write apps that script dozens of C libraries; Chez Scheme is very good at that.

Fun things

You can work through the online Scheme programming book; executing the examples as you go.

Provides a simple tiled user interface for Chez Scheme on Windows 10.

Selfie

  • I hope that programming can be fun again in a fast interactive workspace.
  • Create animations using direct 2D accelerated graphics.

Requirements

In order to work - this application requires Windows 10; the new Webview2 and the visual C++ 2019 run time libraries.

If your run this app; and the documentation panes are blank; just use the installer from Microsoft for the new WebView2 here:-

If running the app does nothing at all; it does not open; you probably do not have the latest C runtime installed; which you can get from Microsoft here:-
