Hey i have question about Code Editor.
This will have function of compile the code, or real-time checking of working of code?

RE: Code Editor
I'm hoping it to realease it in few days to 1,5 week, making intellisense work fully with all c++ features is not so easy, so it takes some time
About 75% is working of it already.

RE: Code Editor
If it is going to convert .es files to .cpp/.h files, why bother with the .es files to begin with. Why not just let it work with .cpp/.h files directly. Also, if the header browser was integrated into this and removed as a separate tool, I think it will get used more.

RE: Code Editor
code editor will have many advantages over cpp/h
http://www.esenthel.com/community/showth...4#pid20574
you won't need to:
-separate classes into .h and .cpp
-write #include's for all files
-make sure that each class is declared first before it's used
-etc.
like in c

RE: Code Editor
Will your implementation of intellisense have some features of the EE header browser implemented?

RE: Code Editor
I'm most concerned about the debugging side of things. It is a major factor in writing code (unless you write perfect code every time). I've yet to find a scripting language that has decent debugging (i.e. being able to set break points, step through the code, inspect variables, etc...). It is the main reason why I don't use any scripting languages, or engines like UDK... just pure C++, so much easier to debug.
How do you plan to handle this? Will you just fall back to VS for debugging, or will there be built in es debugging? Either way, it needs to be very easy to use, otherwise I think a lot of people (me included) will just stick with VS and cpp/h files. I love that I can run my code, break execution anywhere, edit, and run again. If I can't do that easily with es, then I just don't see it getting used. Sorry, not trying to be negative, just realistic.

RE: Code Editor
there're won't be any builtin debugging, VS will be activated for that.

RE: Code Editor
OK, that's fine. However what happens when you are stepping through your code in VS and then want to stop execution in order to work on the code you are looking at. Will you then need to go back to es and find the code in the scripts in order to make changes? If so, then unfortunately that is a deal breaker for me...
