My next idea.

Anyone is welcome to join in with the development, I'm looking for a bit of a team on this one.

No rush to get it completed, though I wouldn't think it would take too long to complete.


Features to include:

• Syntax highlighting, obviously~ already sorted for the most part (a few bugs that are easily fixable)
  
• Line numbering
  
• Super-intelligent intellisense, which figures out patterns in code to work for any language
  
• Ultra customisation ~ this project is going to be one extreme IDE, suited to all programmers
  
• Support for plugins ~ so programmers can make their own scripts/extensions for the IDE
  
• A design view, like in Visual Studio, for .NET ~ shouldn't be too difficult actually, I've sussed the main part of it
  
• Highlighting of matching brackets
  
• Tabbed browsing

Got your mouth watering? Join in!

Current team

• gabehabe (Obviously) ~ I'll be doing a bit of everything
  
• omoimasuyo ~ learning experience
  
• no2pencil ~ updates/news/code?
  
• MoonBat ~ basics/learning experience
  
• marcells23 ~ not sure, actually...

Got any feature suggestions? Let me know and I'll add them to the list

[no2pencil]

I wouldn't mind helping. I can add like an updates or news section if you want.

[gabehabe]

Consider yourself added!

I'm gonna set up a SourceForge for it soon, as soon as we come up with a name... any ideas? I suck at names.

All I can think of is Code Ninja, which I think Martyr2 would approve of

[gabehabe]

By the way, I personally will be using #Develop, which is a free tool.

If you want to be using the same IDE as me (though it works with Visual Studio projects, so it's not too important) you can download it here

[Moonbat]

Here are a few ideas I have:

• Highlighting around curly braces of the same blocks of code, to know which braces go together
  
• Tabbed file-opening
  
• Maybe some simple error checking (missing semicolons, bad syntax of statements like if-else, and other things that most languages have)

If you don't mind having a very novice C# programmer aboard, I'd like to join. I have zip experience working with anyone on a programming project other than by myself, and it'll also help me to learn C# as well.

The error checking can actually be done through the compiler. It's just a matter of pulling the console output from the command line. (I'll figure out a way)

And you're added.

We need a name. Then, I'll set up a SourceForge project and add you all as Admins.

Suggestions?


Who edited "Me" to "gabehabe" and a URL to my profile?
I'm guessing no2?
Meh~

[no2pencil]

Yeah, sorry. Huge pet peve that goes back a long way. Sorry.

I like the idea of the bracket & paren checking within the IDE. I think that could be done easily. Hell, the editor here checks for forum tags so.... why the eff not?

[gabehabe]

haha, no problem. It actually annoys me, it's just a habit.

I'd also like to add stuff like wildcard searches, Regex searches, etc~
Really detailed stuff. This is going to be for all programmers.



BUT WE NEED A NAME! urgh, I hate naming stuff. I mean, "The Snippet Manager"? How original...


<this is going forward a little, I'm actually trying to plan stuff out for once>
Is everyone familiar with the SVN system? SourceForge accounts? etc...

I can throw together a basic mock in the next couple of days, with the ability to add compiler paths, linker paths, etc.

Icon designers? I think omo might be up for it, but I'll have to speak with him. (He does graphics)
I'll talk to him.

DICIDE - (DIC and IDE)

Dixtreme - (From DIC and 'extreme' "this project is going to be one extreme IDE")

[no2pencil]

I like :

DICIDE - (DIC and IDE)

That's slick.

[gabehabe]

Does it have to involve DIC? It's not really a DIC project, it's just a few members from DIC

hmmm... Maybe this could be more than an IDE. What with all the plugins, and all.

*Thinking*

Let's look beyond the horizons of it just being an IDE. An all-in-one application, developed for programmers.

What could we add?
-I could utilise something like my snippet manager for it.
-Perhaps quick links, to jump straight to certain sites: cplusplus.com, etc
-A built-in (basic) web browser, to load stuff like MSDN and said sites?

None of this will clutter the IDE itself. It could open in new windows/tabs.

I dunno. I'm just jotting down thoughts where they won't be lost at the minute.

EDIT:
Said web browser could be used for viewing web development stuff, HTML,CSS,PHP without having to fart about with your default browser.

ANOTHER EDIT:
Looking at "DICIDE" makes me think of CIDER
Coder's Integrated Development Environment R?

Disclaimer: Please refrain from laughing at me for crap ideas. I'm tired, and will most likely come back to this tomorrow and think "WTF was I thinking?"

Well, the only non-DIC thing I could think of was 'Gabomnomoon'

The web browser part will be easy, thanks to the WebBrowser tool that can be used in C#.

Hmm... CIDER - Coder's Integrated Development Environment (and) Resources?

[gabehabe]

Yeah, I know the web browser part will be easy~ I thought about it before for a HTML specific IDE. But then I wanted a batch IDE. And now I want an ASM IDE.

So I wanna make one, with all that rolled into one.

And I'm liking CIDER at the minute~ projects tend to have weird names.

EDIT:
Wow, on page 2 already, and this thread has only been open a few hours. This is gonna be big.
We've even got 4 team members already!


OOH! And a Regex builder. (Just input what you want it to do, and it puts a Regex string together for you.)

[red_4900]

how about changing the name to just CIDE? do you need the R? or CoIDE?

as much as I would like to help, I'm too novice. I can't be of help at all. Just started learning C# in...err, 10 minutes ago?(wtf)

[gabehabe]

I think if we did go for that, it would be better to have it a word that already exists, like CIDER. It's not definite, it was just one of my weird ideas~

Hey, I started the Snippet Manager within starting learning C#.NET within...err, 0 minutes.

It's an easy language to pick up~

Am I the only one with solid C# experience already?
That seems weird, considering I've only been learning it a month

But seriously, it's simple. It's up to you if you want to join, but I don't think the team should get too big, otherwise it'll just be a crowded credits section.

What's the average number of team members of a project of this scale?

Dunno.

Here's a thought on the name:
CIDER ~ CIDER: Integrated Development Environment (and) Resources.
Stuff like PHP does that, doesn't it?
