Masters project: Designed and developed an X-Windows (X-ray toolkit) interface to implement a compiler for a

C-like language, breaking down source file constructs (functions, declarations, if-else blocks,

for/while loops, etc.) and presenting them in a scrollable list of icons for decomposing into nested

levels. The raw source code corresponding to a particular icon selection could be brought up for

editing. Only the underlying code for those icon representations that had changed since the last

compiling would be targeted the next time the compilation process is initiated.
