Description

The Peter system is a visual programming tool designed for a simple and fast generation of the programs for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP. Its principal characteristic is the graphical presentation of the program structure. The program sections are assembled using the mouse like a jigsaw puzzle. Thanks to the justification check of the element combinations, carried out already at the time of the program generation, there is no chance of syntactic failure origination. The program presentation by means of a tree structure enables a considerable improvement of the program lucidity. The creation of the program is quickly becoming extraordinary easy and flexible.

Peter is intended for a broad range of the users. By using it, even the children of the pre-school age are able to draw pictures and teach their little rabbit to move. On the other hand, there are a lot of powerful functions intended to use by skilled programmers. It is not Peter's goal to train programmers out of all users. Its objective is to make the program generation accesible to all who want to create. No knowledge in the programming or computer areas is necessary. Everything is covered by the numberless functions. This is an effective mean for training the logical thinking, imagination, and aesthetic feeling.

• The sprite technique makes it possible to create moving and overlapping animated objects.
• Multimedia support of music, multichannel 3D sound playback, MP3 files, audio CDs, mixers.
• All numerical operations are carried out with the double-real accuracy (15 digits, exponent +/- 308), mathematical functions (sin, log, int, ...).
• Rich graphical functions, pictures overlapping, transparency, shadows, multi-layer animation, height levels.
• The program created together with all data is simultaneously an EXE application of Windows. It can be started immediately without the compilation.
• The entire developmental environment is one compact whole including the picture, sprite, icon, and text editors.
• A constituent of the distribution CD-ROM is a big quantity of example programs, pictures, sprites, sounds, and musics.
• Easy data portability from other applications thanks to standard formats ICO, BMP, JPG, MID, RMI, WAV, MP3, TXT, RTF, clipboard.
• Possibility of creating the console programs, Windows dialog boxes, full-screen mode.
• Control of the created programs with a mouse, a joystick, a keyboard.
• File, folder, and disk management, modification of attributes, easy saving data into files.
• Easy numerical operations with date and time (addition and subtraction, conversion), local and world time.
• The DirectPlay network support of the games enables to play games in the Internet and a data transfer between computers, communication ports support (COM).
• Multilingual programs creation, filename ALIASES support.
• Easy using of external DLL libraries and Windows API functions
• Powerful 3D graphics (interfaces OpenGL 1.0 and 1.1, DirectX 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8).

To run it, a 486 computer using Windows 95/... with 10 MB disk space is sufficient.

The Lite version of the Peter provides limited programmatic equipment. The Lite version enables to create programs based on the field animation, point graphic and 3D graphic (without textures). The Lite version has full help, example program Maze, tutorial lessons and example library supplements. Further example libraries may be added to the Lite version. The Lite version is FREEWARE for home uses. It can be free distributed and used for private purposes. The Lite version can not be used in schools and for the commercial purposes without paying the license payment.
