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.

This sounds wickedly interesting! Looking forward to it. [import]uid: 10835 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15641[/import]
I’m in!!!
+1 [import]uid: 10657 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15648[/import]
+2 need any beta testers [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15737[/import]
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]
Will it be free? [import]uid: 9371 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15743[/import]
Nope. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 15746[/import]
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 
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]
@bedhouin: Of course I will. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 4865 reply_id: 16109[/import]
@Mike:
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]

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