Visual Pascal

Visual Pascal is mainly intended for inexperienced programmers, enabling them to easily generate Pascal or Delphi source code based on a graphic scheme that describes the algorithm and the execution order.

The application is rather intuitive, but you should take the time to figure out what each item does before inserting them into the code. Fortunately, keeping the cursor on top of an option for a short while reveals a small popup containing details about its functionality.

Fields are used for storing variable values, while sub-objects are secondary instances of an object. Methods perform user-defined sets of commands. They can be used for accessing an array elements or characters in a string, assigning values to fields, executing IF, FOR, WHILE, CASE instructions, validating a condition, raising exceptions, increasing and decreasing numbers, executing a second block of commands even if the first one generates errors and so on.

You can add descriptions to an element or disable them with just a click. Objects are designed for data storage, being able to declare fields, properties and methods, while enumerations can be used for displaying a sequence of values in ascending order.

There are other types of data you can use, namely pointers, records or arrays. The code can contain comments, logic frames and text boxes, as well as links to files or other modules generated by Visual Pascal.

The source code is automatically generated as you insert new elements to the graphical representation. With a single click, you can easily send it to the clipboard and paste it in another application for debugging and compiling.

Visual Pascal offers you advanced workspace customization possibilities, immediate error detection and automatic backup, proving to be a useful tool for those who are working with Delphi and Pascal. Its approach allows you to focus on the algorithm, rather than keeping the syntax error-free.
