BLIde is for BlitzMax, but can be used with a large # of languages. Is there anything like it for PureBasic?

For me is the PB-IDE the optimal tool to write purebasic code! All third-party IDE have limitation to the original.
But you can test jaPBe: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 81#p124881

OK. Thanks.

I forgot UEStudio: http://www.ultraedit.com/products/uestudio.html
This supports PureBasic, but not very good

Why is it not very good? It looks AMAZING and has so many features! Care to share why you feel it's not so good?

Mike

Highlightning is not correct and limited, you have to change the syntaxfile.
Compiler and Debugger - Support is limited, you have to configure anything, not easy.
something is not available.

The support in the PB-IDE is much better

Aye, cannot beat PB's IDE.

OK, so you are saying PureBasic's built in IDE is more than adequate and is better than any 3rd party products?

Does it have code completion? Folding? Does it have a template editor? Does it have any functionality to make
it easier to code? Versioning? Does it allow you to keep a journal so you know what you worked on?

If you look at BLIde, it has all of that and MUCH MORE. It is about the best IDE I have ever seen. I WISH it
were available for PureBasic.

Mike

Have you not tried the PB demo version? That will answer most of your questions regarding the IDE.

Does it have code completion? Folding? Does it have a template editor? Does it have any functionality to make it easier to code? Versioning?

May be it's time for you to test it ? Yes it has all this. And dont forget to have a look at 'Project'

Why not download the demo and check this features?
http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/ ... start.html

Folding, Autocomplete with support of nested structures, templates, tools, Addons with Trigger-Support, Projects
and much more is available

I did download the demo days ago. Have not found any of those features. Hmmmm. Maybe i'm missing something?

I copied and pasted sample code from the forum here and it just shows the line #s and the code. Nothing else.

I have not been able to find a 'Project' file. Where in the 'examples' folder is it?

Mike

OK. I loaded in the 3D FPS demo and it does show most of those features. Cool!

So, let's say I want to change the movement keys from the arrow keys to "WASD" in the following code chunk:

With Robot
\Fov = 50
\EntityBody = 0
\BodyOffsetY = 43
\Key\Down = #PB_Key_Down ;Down
\Key\Left = #PB_Key_Left ;Left
\Key\Right = #PB_Key_Right;Right
\Key\Up = #PB_Key_Up ;Up
\Key\Jump = #PB_Key_Space

How do I change them? Do I use ASCII equivalents, like char$(43) or is there some other syntax?

[EDIT] - I found it - nice code complete - brings up all the possible keys - NICE!

Mike

Another question (yes, another one):

Is there any way to select a default project directory. It keeps defaulting to the public documents area, which I NEVER use. Very annoying to have to always go find your project!

Can it load previous project?

Mike

Please check the settings
File/Settings/Editor/SourceDir? I use the german version, so i have not the english name.

Project is the third menu.
