sharing code

[Haakon Birkeland]

One thing I noticed about firefly is there seems to be no working source code forum. Most of the codes are snippets(which are great) but how do you share a program that has a few hundred lines but compile to 100k. Sure when you add it all up the program is extremely compact for what it does but how do you share or download working programs.
Would it make sense to have a utility that actually only downloads user code then inserts it in the designer for everybody to learn from. I am looking at Jose's code seems great but I have no idea what it all does or means.

There is an "attachment" mod for the phpBB forum software but I have not installed it. With that mod you can attach files to your forum posts.

Would that type of system be suitable enough?

Here is what I am thinking. If somebody wants to try firefly or see what a program does right now there is no way to do so. The source code is usually so large that examination makes it very tuff unless you know what you are looking for. I was thinking about a little utility that would assemble all the code entered in the form and the inc modules. This file could then be loaded by firefly press F5 then you have a running program.
does it make sense to you?

It would be nice if I could zip my project together and send it to the FireFly site, for others to download... and hopefully learn something.

Having another forum topic for Projects and Source code would be easiest,  I suppose.

Thanks for trying to accomodate your users.

I would also be willing to upload some of the programs that I have developed using Firefly. In return I could also learn from others code.

This is a great idea as long as we get people who are willing to share the projects with others.

I think having attachments would be "OK" method to use.
