Magenta II is a top-tier multimedia authoring software with a real compiler for swift executable generation. It offers abundant flexibility and power for programmers. Additionally, the new Magenta/streaming feature is poised as a development tool for internet applications.
I recently tried out Magenta II and I must say I was impressed by its comprehensive set of features. This software is ideal for creating and managing projects - from small demos to complex teamwork. Creating your own projects is easy with Magenta's visual design tool.
One standout feature is Magenta's Object Oriented Programming language (MPL). Unlike other software that only offers scripting languages, Magenta II provides a real programming language. The class framework contains dozens of ready-to-use objects that you can either edit or use immediately. Plus, all source code of the class framework is included, so extending MPL is a breeze.
Another great feature is Magenta II's native Intel Pentium code. The fast compiler transforms your creation into a standalone executable, offering the full power of a real programming language instead of just the results of slow and erratic interpreters.
Magenta II also has integrated debugging facilities and trace. This enables you to track and solve problems by placing traces, and the compiler can even help you locate where your program went wrong.
If you're looking to incorporate video and sound into your creations, Magenta II supports popular formats such as Windows AVI, Apple MOVie, MOD, MP2/3, .WAV, and many more. The software also comes with a professional 64 track sound engine that has fading and 3D effects.
One noteworthy feature of Magenta II is its full access to Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL). This allows you to bind a minimal amount of resources and still create small applications without much overhead.
Magenta II also includes an online help section with extensive manuals full of technical information and hands-on instructions.
But the best part is that Magenta II now comes with the free MagentaDB database system. This is a small and extremely fast database engine that supports multiple tables in one database, multiple indexes, and record sets. The MagentaDB classes offer an object-oriented interface to MPL, making it easy to use. Additionally, the external MSQL tool imports and manages the database with standard SQL scripts. If you need to perform updates on distributed databases, the built-in update parser can help.
Overall, Magenta II is a great software option for developing Internet applications with its new Magenta/streaming feature. I would recommend this software to anyone looking for a user-friendly and powerful design tool that utilizes a real programming language.
