An Idea!

I think it would be cool if Löve had a text editor/compiler, is anyone with me on that?
And if so, i'd help make one

I use Notepad++ too... is there a way to customize its Lua highlighter to understand things like love.graphics.newImage and such?

I'm using GEdit (not sure about which letters need uppercase), the built-in gnome editor.
Though, as mike says I would like to add the löve functions as well.. hmm might have to search for where those syntax files are located..

Well i've been using TextMate, and it's been annoying to keep changing the folders extension from .love to .zip
Does anyone have a unix command that would make it so when i run the script it takes all the files and makes them into a .love?

[bartbes]

something like:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

cd $1
zip ../$1 *
cd ..
mv ${1}.zip ${1}.love

?

[rude]

... why not run directly from a folder?

I don't remember if Notepad++ is able to do this, but you can make custom "lexers" for Programmer's Notepad (http://www.pnotepad.org/).

GEANY is cool for coding with lua.

In langs.xml, replace the Lua "language" block with:
