Onboard Code Editors
iziBasic itself is just a compiler. To enter your source code, you need a text editor. iziBasic can use memos written in the built-in Memo Pad, or you can use one of the many third-party DOC editors available.
- Memo Pad - included with every Palm device
- PIAF - free, automatic color-coding, integrated compiling
- SrcEdit
- SiEd
- QED
- ViziBasic - $25, GUI layout, source generation
Resource Editors
You can create simple apps using just iziBasic and a text editor. However, to create more sophisticated programs (using custom forms, graphics, icons, sounds, etc.), you'll need to create these as resources using a resource editor.
Luckily, there are third-party resource editors available that run on your Palm, and they work very nicely with iziBasic:
Palm Pascal Applets
If there's a function you can't find in iziBasic, or you need higher performance, you can extend your iziBasic program using "applets" written in Palm Pascal.
