We just bought Sourceview from http://www.tetradyne.com and are very =
happy
with it. But it's just the edit box bit, you'll have to implement the =
app
itself :)

CodeWright (http://www.premia.com/) is a good general-purpose editor =
with no
particular language bias.

If you're thinking of writing your own scripting language, I heartily
recommend you look at one of the existing ones. Saves you a lot of =
work.
We're using Python, but I've also heard good things about Java and LUA.

RE: [GD-General] Development tool (in-house built)

[Grills, J. <jg...@so...>]

We use QT pretty extensively here.  I wrote a widget for it that runs =
our
game loop and renders the world, so we basically have the whole game
embedded inside the QT application.  You could do something like that =
to let
you interactively edit the game logic/data while it's running and see
immediate feedback, which has wonderful payoff in productivity.

Subject: [GD-General] Development tool (in-house built)


Hi folks,

Not sure wether this topic belongs here in general, or in design....

Looking into the subject of creating design tool for a stratigy-game. =
The
grapical part is OK, but when it comes to the editor for scripts, I was
wondering if perhaps the best thing was to use an alredy exiting
customizeble editor (I'm thinkin' of makein' an VC look-alike app). =
Since I
really don't need to reinvent the weel...

Do you know any good free/opensource editors out there applicable for =
this
task ??

BTW I'm thinkin' also to use QT(by Troll Tech) to make it crossplatform
(linux,fbsd,win), any thoughts on that ??

Regards
Per

gamedevlists-general is a dumping ground for pretty much anything even 
tangentially related to games development.  gamedevlists-design is more 
oriented toward game design itself.

Another one to look at is wxWindows.

-Hook

Re: [GD-General] Development tool (in-house built)

[Kent Q. <ken...@co...>]

Would you consider simply hooking into an open source tool's plugin
architecture? If so, you should definitely look into Eclipse:

http://www.eclipse.org/

and JEdit:

http://www.jedit.org

Eclipse is really an IDE, while JEdit is more of a text editor.
There's even an article entitled "The Case for Using Eclipse
Technology in General Purpose Applications."

http://www.genuitec.com/products/eclipseapplicationframework.pdf

They're both Java-based, which may or may not matter to you.
