VisiScript is a simple graphical frontend for scripting languages like minscript, Python,Ruby, Tcl, Perl, Lisp/Scheme or others.

VisiScript runs on the Qtopia desktop environment of the Zaurus and on all platforms supporting Qt 3.x.

With this program you can read, modify, save and execute script files and select different script languages. For the execution of the scripts the progam uses available script interpreters.

Since version 0.3.0 of VisiScript the QScintilla library is used as the editor-widget, this means that VisiScript is now a very comfortable programming editor with syntax highlighting and many other features.

To run a script VisiScript starts the actual selected script interpreter in an external process with the (temporary) script file. The output of this external process will be displayed in a text field below the script text field.

You have to install at least one additional script interpreter on the zaurus to use this program in an appropriate way. Here is a (not complete) list of available script languages for the Zaurus:

minscript (a Java/C++ like script language)
Python
Ruby
Perl
Tcl
Lush (a Lisp interpreter)/Scheme48
Chicken
