There is no way to convert pseudo code to programming syntaxes because it has no defined rules. And as soon as you define rules for pseudo code, it becomes a language. So basically you are suggesting a new language.
I would rather use an OCR app that could take picture of my code, detect the language, and compile it, and finally, show me the output. -
if this guy is struggling to just to the translating part https://devrant.com/collabs/..., what makes you think you can do it and have it be scanned from something physical to your phone
-
@calmyourtities so because one guy cant figure it out - we should all just... give up?

@mkdirLuci4 im saying that if someone struggled to do half of your app, its gonna be an incredible challenge to do both. if you have such a strong desire to complete the project, maybe you should collaborate with the author of the other project

So what you are going to do is convert every single English words that are similar, or so called synonyms to a programming language syntax.
That can't be done. You need to have every single synonyms match a specific syntax.
For example, "by the time when a<10 is not true", "until the time when a<10 is not true", "while a<10 is true", "while a is less than 10", "during a is less than 10", and so on should be matched somehow to "while a<10". Even though you use powerful computing skills, it is unlikely to ever release a alpha version.
It will take centuries to make, and it will take longer to find whether there is a end to "pi" or not.
I am not discouraging anyone, but just saying my words. -
@CozyPlanes i definitely dont disagree with what youre saying. I realize the monumental task that is the conversion formulas - and I guess, in retrospect, there would have to be some guidelines to what it can convert which does defeat the purpose and would essentially be making a new language

looking for patterns in the pseudo code will probably not work, simply because there are no standard patterns in a pseudo code as far as I know.
But if your AI could "understand" the pseudo code, this could help a lot. -
rezn0v4917y@mkdirLuci4 This is now going somewhere in forward direction. What if...? We work on different parts of same project. I believe this could be happening. I wasn't following up on collabs since I'm having exams.

@rezn0v its okay Ive been starting a new job so Ive been busy - but I like the idea. If you get a chance, message me on github or something: yatesm4
Take a picture of sudocode, like on a whiteboard, and translate it to actual code (based on language)
