What editor are you using?
« on: September 03, 2008 »
Since quite a lot of you seem to be working with FreeBasic, I also wanted to have a look at it.
For a start I tried FBIde, but, ehm, seriously no.
So, is there anything cool?

There's nothing stoping you using any editor really.

Sometimes I use Notepad++, just because I use that for php and just set up a little batch file to compile stuff so I can flick between my webpages and if I'm replying to posts here then it's easier sometimes..

Fbide hasn't been updated for a long time, there are other editors that I know of ;

Jellyfish:

Fbedit:
http://www.radasm.com/fbedit/index.html

I have used neither of these though so I don't know if they are any good sorry!

nothing wrong with FBIde, I use it for all my FB stuff.  It lets me edit the code and if I press F9, it does the magic stuff that runs it.  What else would I need?

Well, if you're used to a syntax-highlighter which colours types, members, local variables and input parameters in different colours, FBIde looks a bit ... poor ;)

Hehe, I'm used to plain old notepad in black and white, this coloured text stuff is a novelty for me. :D

Visual Studio thinks it's VB and helps out a bit.

You might find that there isnt a busting lot of variety of IDE's for freebasic.
There were a few editors a while ago for Freebasic. not sure if they are still in development or exist anymore. I'll have a hunt for some, maybe theres some lurking on SourceForge.

I personally like FBIDE; on this site I did a theme for it which had different colours. it's called Blitz Theme.

Over at the the official FreeBASIC site, there's an archive for FBIDE. http://www.freebasic.net/arch/file.php?id=34

FBIDE has been taken over development by another programmer called Eodor; the original was by a guy called VonGodric. I havent used the newer version thats over there; but it might be better and completely different.

I used either FBEdit or FBIde and I would AVOID Jellyfish IDE at all Cost!

I use JellyFish Pro and have never had a problem with it. It has all the features you could possibly want or need.   :updance:

I've used Fbide and FBEdit both
and personally, I liked simplicity of Fbide and Functionality of FBEdit

FBEdit has all the stuff i need and is updated regularly..
Fbide hasn't been updated regularly..Though a new one is under progress
Till then I'll keep using FBEdit.. :)

Geany is linux thingy XD  :whack:
though it has a GTK based windows version..
It's good for linux... though i'd prefer Kate
and if you want a general code editor, Notepad++ seems best choice  :P

I use EditPlus.

http://www.editplus.com

I use it for all my PHP/HTML etc.

Great thing about EditPlus is that you can download and install STX files that define the colors in the editor or make your own. By that I mean what commands are, variables are, functions etc. and it does it VERY well plus there's hundreds of other features.

Writing HTML? Hit CTRL-B to see what it looks like in a browser without having to save it out and load it into Firefox/Opera/Safari/Whatever.

One day I'll buy it.

Hello ZEB and  :hi: aboard  ;D

Editplus is brilliant but one problem is how do you run the program?

I think Hotshot's asking how to compile and run the program you are working on.  Is it possible to launch fbc from within EditPlus?
