From XY to app
From XY to app
Hi there, I've created a script that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with automating tasks and the kind of system stuff that scripting is usually used for. It's an Astrology script where a date of birth is entered and the script displays information (with help form an ini file) about the relevant astrological star sign. I was wondering what suggestions people could give on turning the script into a proper appplication that is independent of XYplorer. What software, language, etc I could use. The script really won't get any more complicated than calling data or images so just beginner suggestions please :-)

Re: From XY to app
If your xys script runs well and displayed what you want, then it's ok.
What is a "proper appplication"?
with such a simple task a read ini and display in a dialog box, any scripting language can.
I use autohotkey but recommend Python

I'm a casual coder using AHK language. All of my xys scripts:

Thanks binocular222, I had looked at Python so it's nice to know someone here can recommend it.
And I would like it to be a 'proper application' so that if I want to share it with other people or develop it further, it won't be dependent on XYplorer to run.

That sounds like a fun app.
I would recommend AutoHotkey. It includes a simple compiler for distributing your scripts in executable format.
AutoIt is also very nice.

Gosh there are so many scripting languages out there!! Phew how do you guys make sense of it all and decide which one you're going to use
Python and (especially) AutoHotkey look good but I was just wondering, as possible way to make it easier to recreate the script I already have, what is the scripting language that XY is based on (or is most like XY)?
