IndeED

General (non-technical) Off-Topic

Hi folks,

finally… today I was able to start the damn simulator from my IndeED port. During the last weeks I pulled out my no more existing hair about this. And was about to give up. Now I can finally go further and port/add the features to IndeED. If you don’t mind tempory programmers art for the icon… here is a little screenshot:



The UI is not final but I just wanted to share my happy moment. You can’t imagine how frustrated I was about not being able to get it working. But now I f…k…g did it. YEAH!!!

So what is IndeED? In its windows days (2002-2007) it was a code editor/IDE for a lot of basic dialects. BlitzMax, Blitz3D, IBasic Pro, HotBasic, etc.

Here is a screenshot from the never released successor of it:

I made the mistake by supporting to many languages at the same time with the full feature set. That was VERY difficult to maintain. A serious computer crash and not able to setup my dev system the way it needed to be (DELPHI and its components) basically rendered IndeED dead in 2008.

Now in 2010/2011 I will resurrect IndeED as an editor/IDE.

Stay tune and if you want, let me know which features you would like to see in an IDE/Editor.

+2 need any beta testers [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15737[/import]

#5

Thanks for the interest guys. As soon I hit the point where I need testers, I will let you know in this topic. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15738[/import]

great
this looks like what I’ve been waiting for
thanks [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15739[/import]

Looks awesome; really well done! [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15740[/import]

#8

Will it be free? [import]uid: 9371 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15743[/import]

#9

Nope. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15746[/import]

#10

Haha great response. However I feel something like this and CPM would be a lot more successful if they were integrated officially into Corona SDK.

I’m sure Ansca would be more than receptive to the idea. [import]uid: 10835 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15749[/import]

Oh man I cant wait for this to hit beta. I am all in :slight_smile:

looking good so far. [import]uid: 11860 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 16086[/import]

@Mike:

That looks brilliant. Will you have a Windows version assuming Corona ever makes it to Windows? [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 16096[/import]

#13

@bedhouin: Of course I will. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 16109[/import]

#14

@Mike:

:slight_smile: Glad to hear it. There are a fair few of us “rebels” who are working on Win for coding/dev and just writing to a shared folder on Mac for build at the moment. [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 16214[/import]

#15

@bedhouin

I thought I was the only one :slight_smile: Gotta love Synergy and Dropbox. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 16221[/import]

#16

@Graham: Synergy is great, except for the fact that Notepad++ for some reason hangs when synergy loses it’s connection. No idea why.

How is dropbox working for you - is the syncing within a second or two? I’m using local ftp (crossftp on mac) and network shares from PC to Mac - not without problems but it saves instantly. [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 16307[/import]

#17

Synergy does have its niggling issues however overall it is crazy useful, the amount of times I forget it is even there (a sign of good software) is scare, I’m constantly trying to drag files across screens :slight_smile: That would be true magic if they could get that working.

Dropbox for me has been perfect, maybe a second or so delay and it uses LAN transfers for transfers between computers on the same network. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 16309[/import]

#18

Hah! I’ve done that once or twice too! Drag and drop will come one day soon I hope.

And you’re right it’s amazingly transparent I’ve shown it to people and they just don’t get it - they think it’s an extended desktop on a single machine.

I will ditch crossftp and try dropbox then. Thanks for the tip - I had no idea it was able to do P2P, I thought it was host based all of the time. [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 16313[/import]

#19

It was a new feature that got added fairly recently I believe. Plus you get all the usual benefits of it being a basic source control and backup tool. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 16315[/import]

#20

It looks great!

Now i am using Corona Project Manager + TextMate but i would gladly change TM for better editor with:

  • Code completion for Corona functions(like in eclipse)
  • Option to set own colors (i use dark color theme)
  • Option to setup bin and src folders (thanks to that src folder can have subfolders and bin folder will be flat copy of src for copying to devide)

I would love to field test the beta of IndeED
