Two godsends for coders.
« on: January 03, 2007, 02:12:57 PM »
First up is Gobby;
http://darcs.0x539.de/trac/obby/cgi-bin/trac.cgi

I've been using it for a while now, it has code highlighting for all sorts of languages, but better yet it allows "multiplayer" coding, here is a screenshot of me doing some Lua with BenBob; a friend:


As you can see what different people do is highlighted in different colours and the whole thing is much like a notepad variation.

Next up is Notepad++;
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/about.php

I'm sure most of the people here have heard of it, but it contains code highlighting for lots of languages, and it's quite useful, yes, it does Lua highlighting, here's a screenshot including all the languages it highlights(and some of my program):


Well, have fun and hope these help with your spaghetti code!

Thanks Mank, I've seen Notepad++ before, but not Gobby. Chat-n-code collaboration, nice.

As for standalone editors, I personally like
Context, which also has tons of available language highlighters.

Never tried context.

Gobby did suprise me, but it's very cool, mainly because it's useful, but it's a bit of a gimmick too, I mean, c'mon, multiplayer coding. xD
