Here's the old thread for any of those who might remember this project I started last year. I had an urge to work on it today, and so, after many hours, I finally got correct and complete syntax highlighting. (started from scratch) Haven't found any problems, yet.

Current state, nothing more than a syntax highlighter. Test it out, lemme know if I missed any keywords that aren't part of the INI.

[Update: April 25, 3:00am]
- New screenshot uploaded, looks much nicer, more IDE-like now.
- Finally got line numbers to display properly.

Still a bug where its drawing every line number, whether visible or not. No problem until you try to scroll a document with 4k lines, verrrry slow. The TrenchRunner's 4500 line source code has been a good stress test candidate.




keyword ini filepath is hardcoded at the moment, looks for:

Actually, I think a simplistic editor would be quite cool... Make it look like notepad!

anybody have any idea of the compiler's command line?

I threw up the current demo, don't expect to do more than just look at your code in colors.

I've opened files with a few thousand lines and it seemed to run ok. I had line numbers, but there was a bug that slowed it down immensely and so I removed it for this demo until I get it fixed.

That will get you running the compiler.

I actually like that! I'm a big fan of lightweight apps. I dont like seeing a simple editor eat 100Mb RAM! As long as it compiles my code and tells me whats wrong, its a good editor One of the things I didn't like about Synergy was that it was an "AIO" (All In One) app. When I load my IDE, I dont want to load a photoeditor, image editor, model viewer, blah, blah...

Phaelax:
1) Can it handle multiple instances of itself (like if I want two DBP Projects open at once)
2) How does it handle projects with multiple sources?

Phaelax > How protective are you over your highlighting algorithm?

I tried to make a DBP highlighter in PHP, but I got unstuck because of the spaces in function names. It became this awful mass of while loops, continues and breaks and it just got out of hand. Of course, I'm assuming it only highlights full keywords (unlike Synergie, which seems to highlight "make" and "object" on their own)...

Probably cause your keywords.ini file was located somewhere else. The path was hard-coded because I dont have all the menus complete yet.

Quote: "1) Can it handle multiple instances of itself (like if I want two DBP Projects open at once)"

You can run multiple instances. But when I'm done, each instance will have tabs to open multiple documents anyway.

Quote: "2) How does it handle projects with multiple sources?"

Not there yet. I'm just now getting to the compiler part, which I'm unsure how to do right now. I guess I haven't mentioned yet, this is written in Java. Currently, the program weighs in at only 11kb.

Quote: "How protective are you over your highlighting algorithm?"

Not very, it sucks. It works just fine, its just very slow on the initial file loading because it has to highlight every line first. After that, it only changes on a per edited line basis.

Quote: "Of course, I'm assuming it only highlights full keywords "

Your assumption is correct.


My current algorithm works by checking to see if any of the keywords are present in each line, rather than break the line into tokens and search them against the keyword array. Slow and inefficient, yes. Simple to implement and get around commands with spaces, yet.

I have a much better method I've been playing around with and I'll let you know when I have it implemented.

ADR, if you would like the highlighting code (in java), I can email it to you.

Well, Java has caused a slight problem, loading a file into a "StyledDocument" is way too slow. So unless I find some way around it, this project is moving to C#; of which I'm currently making a highlighter for that now.

I don't know java but you can speed up keyword compare with a simple hash table. But maybe you already use a hash, I don't know.

Already using a hash table. That's not what's causing the slowdown though. Even if I take out the highlighting altogether it still loads larger files quite slowly. WordPad opens the file in under a second, mine takes like 30seconds on the same 4k line file. Files under 1000 lines aren't noticebly slow.

Here's a pic of the IDE after I converted it to Java syntax, a little morning project of mine. My school feels the need to use unregistered TextPad, so I'm tired of annoying popups. I want to keep this IDE for java simple but effective, for intro-level students in hopes that I can get the school to use it as an alternative. I did rewrite the highlighter though, since keywords no longer contain spaces I can make it more efficient.

wow that looks nicer more buttons but i still like compile buttonsn the best.

Instead of just learning how to program i am also learning how to model in Wings 3D so if you know of any good tutorials let me know.
