I'm working on a very simple way to turn TI-BASIC in to Object Oriented Programming. It works on using a list to store objects objects made by a simple command. People will be able to write libraries for the program fairly easily by making a few programs. The syntax is yet to be decided but will probably be very simple.
Thanks for reading and please post feedback and ideas

Any details on how this would work?
Ya basically you store the parameters in a list in the ans variable.
then you run the program and it will return a number to ans.
an exanple of making an object:
Code:
{0}
prgmOOP
ans→a
Will there be polymorphism and inheritance? How will those be handled?
Well that's all int he libraries written for the system but if your talking about making shapes an object I will probably make that part of the stantard library that comes with it. And what do you mean by inheritance
If you are building Objects from lists ad-hoc, you might want to look at the JSON model that JavaScript uses. With that, you have polymorphism and inheritance (prototype-based) and everything else, without having to have a ton of mechanisms for it.

I have no idea what you're talking about with shapes... Polymorphism and Inheritance are pretty key concepts in OOP--if you don't have them it'll be hard to argue you have OOP.

I originally claimed that I'd add OOP to Antidisassemblage (which ended up spawning OPIA / Antelope instead), only to discover that I was missing that distinction:
I think we are talking about added Object-BASED features. That is why I suggested looking at the idea behind JSON, because then it requires minimal work to provide [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-based_programming Prototype based OOP[/url], which has the means for inheritance and polymorphism JUST by adding references to "prototype" objects to a simple object-based design
