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
