LÖVE

Hi, just installed and configured SciTE and LOVE to run any game comfortably with F5, but the problem is that SciTE seems very simple, ie the style I want something more like Eclipse or Netbeans IDE with autocomplete and all these features . I know there is a plugin for Eclipse but not if it's possible to configure LOVE it.

My questions then are: What is the best IDE for Lua? Is it possible to configure LOVE this IDE?.

Sorry for bad english

Most of us here use simple text editors. Gedit is good. There are a few IDE but few are made with LÖVE in mind.

A lot of us use Notepad++, it's a great program if you're on Windows (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/).

Here's a link to a Love-specific autocomplete file for NPP: http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php? ... 014#p34011

I like Sublime Text 2.

Big bump for gEdit, that's what I use. Usually nano|pico too, but that's because I do a lot of server stuff and can't be bothered with emacs or vim.

If you're running linux, give geany a shot.

Ok thank you all for commenting, it seems the best option is Notepad + + for Windows, and how lucky I use windows .I will download Notepad + + with the plugin that mentioned tentus for LOVE autocomplete. Although to tell the truth, I like Geany. Is there a plugin for Geany autocomplete for LOVE similar to Notepad + +?

things I dislike about notepad++ :
doesn't look quite as good as sublime
occasionally, for no apparent reason, it forgets all of your settings (load langs.xml failed, etc)
occasionally, for semi no apparent (seems to happen when a dialogue box is open) ctrl+ anything doesn't work.

things I dislike about sublime:
no code folding
can't click and drag text
can't have 2 docs open at the same time (split screen like notepad++)
can't click to add bookmarks.

I can't speak to your first complaint (having grown up on DOS makes everything look good), but I have never had N++ do either of the last two. I use N++ for upwards of eight hours a day, five days a week, for the past half-decade, so I'm very curious as to what you're doing to incite these behaviors, Are you sure it's not in your OS?
