Chipp, I tried that but I couldn't build the language tree parser, so I started coding from the other point, assuming there would be a parser, I started coding the javascript parts to be used by the parser/converter once it was done but when I lost my HD I lost basically everything. Both my main machine and my backup fried at the same time, so, it was lost but it is not hard to recreate again.
I have a new project now (I still call it revImpossible) but instead of focusing on translating LC to JS, I am focusing more on the workflow and helpers and eventually I will get to the translating part. :-D On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 10:45 PM, Chipp Walters <ch...@chipp.com> wrote: > Well, I talked with Chris.
