Body

Good Afternoon, I am IndianCoder3. I have recently made a hobby project: Abhinu.Dev Basic ICTL (Link is https://github.com/IndianCoder3/abhinu-dev_basic-ictl ). So, you can read the README, it's just a basic interpreter I made. What Python Library should I use for making a GUI command category? Like, turtle, or arcade, or anything else. Also, please rate it from 0-10. Also, please help me improve the web editor: https://basic-ictl-web-studio.onrender.com/

Thank you

Good afternoon! Nice project for a hobby build.

GUI library: For a simple interpreter GUI, Pygame or Arcade are solid choices. Pygame has more tutorials and community support. Arcade is cleaner and more modern if you want object-oriented design. Avoid Turtle; it is too slow and limited for anything beyond basic demos.
Rating: 6/10.: Clean README, good structure for a first interpreter, but missing error handling and the web editor needs work (see below).

Web editor improvements:
Add syntax highlighting - Use CodeMirror or Monaco Editor (VS Code's editor) instead of a plain textarea
Live execution - Connect to a backend that actually runs the code, or compile to JavaScript for client-side execution
Save/load projects - LocalStorage at minimum, or GitHub integration
Mobile responsive - Current layout breaks on phones
Error feedback - Show line numbers and clear error messages when code fails
Keep building. Interpreters are great for learning language design fundamentals.

It does already use monaco, check it

Let me check the logic behind everything more carefully.
