Re: ANN: VisualAda (Ada Integration for Visual Studio 2017 & 2019) release 1.1.12

Alex,

ABSOLUTELY no worries. I switched over to MSYS2 because that was what you were using. My personal preference is GNAT CE, but either way is fine. No rush at all, I never thought I'd be able to do something like WinRT or UWP/XAML in Ada (and I'm trying to relearn Ada, a lot has changed since I took classes and monkeyed with it in the 80's!).

The reason my project is called "RaceDirector" is because I'm rewriting all of our timing & scoring software (and adding some hardware, like the STM32F769NIH6 microcontroller (embedded Ada!)) for our Soap Box Derby track (if you're curious, http://ghsbd.org). I thought it'd be a cool way to do it.


We're done with our Spring events, and won't start up again until late Summer, early Fall (too !*&@# hot in Texas during the summer.)

Side note: I'm assuming that since these are true Windows Store apps, that they could also run on Xbox, but its been a while since I messed around with that. I'd love to explore that as well (I also occasionally write some small apps for my autistic teenager to help him in a few areas.)

Let me know how I can help, test, maybe add some stuff to the extension (Intellisense ?), whatever.

Regards,
Greg
