Seems like it saves before compiling here, at least the tabs turn black before the compiling starts.

Yes, it saves before compile. This, however, could be a disadvantage, it could overwrite code when you just want to test some new code. Not much you can do about it though. Could possibly just save a temp copy and not overwrite your old source.

Just ideas.


[edit]
found another bug. If you have a function but decide to comment it out and then make another function with the same name CodeSurge reports the commented out version (or the version above the uncommented version) for the function header.

(I'm doing this as I want to try a different approach without having to delete other function)

Well alot of the 'bugs' are more nags than anything else. It doesn't stop me using the IDE they're more tweaks than anything.

If you read earlier posts you'll see his LIFE is busy at the minute so you can't expect him to work on this, you need time for yourself as well etc.

When he gets more time he'll (?) work more on this, well I hope he does

You can always turn that feature off in the settings. Personally I always keep backups, both on my laptop and my USB memory stick as well as on my USB HDD once in a while. You never know when you might get a disc crash or something else preventing you from accessing your files.

FERSIS:
It's not been that long since the last update, which BTW is really good. As PowerSoft says, most remaining bugs are quite small.

Here's another smal bug:

When a new source file is created or added to the list it doesn't get sorted alphabetically, I have to switch over to compile order and back.

I found what seems to be the problem with auto saving files. If I put the source files in a folder the compiler will not recognice changes in the files unless I save the files manually (save on compile happens after compile).

Source files in folders must be saved for changes to be included in the compilation. If the files are placed in the root directory they do not have to be saved.

I'm currently using 18 files for Simple Game Toolkit, putting them in separate folders really helps. With more then 6000 lines it would be nice not having to recompile because I forgot to save.

Hey, I really, really like Codesurge as an alternative to the native IDE. But I have one really annoying problem that sometimes out of frustration forces me to use the native IDE. I find that I have to compile my projects many times to get Codesurge to use the source I have written.

Example:
I might leave and open set of parentheses. So when I compile the project Codesurge will tell me about the error. I will fix the error by closing the parentheses. Then I hit F5 to compile and run. But Codesurge will bring up the exact same error. I hit OK and once again hit F5 to get it to work. This happens all the time when I change a number or two when positioning an object. Or a word or two when changing a string. I am not sure if this is a common error but it gets pretty annoying when you are on a role coding.

Other than that I have no qualms about this software. And would recommend it to anyone who doesn't already use it.

Thanks

That might be because of the problem that if you have multiple source files for your project, you'll have to save when you make changes before the compiler will take notice of it. It has been a known problem for a long time.

Alright so before I compile I'll just hit save-all and it should fix the problem. Like I said before I really like Codesurge it is just a little annoying if you don't know that the problem is fixable by a simple click before compile. But thanks for the help.

Exactly. Before you compile all you have to do is press shift+Ctrl+s(save all shortcut) and you will save all the source files.

Or you can put all your source files in the same directory as your dbpro file and there shouldn't be any problems. I had my project set up that before when I had less then 10 files, now I have 18 so I have them in 4 folders depending on what they do. The "save on compile" option also works propperly with source files in the root directory.

Digital Awakening,
THANK YOU!! For showing me exactly what caused the problem with not sending the current source to the compiler. I can't thank you enough! I had searched and searched trying to figure out what was causing the problem, but it never occured to me it was files in subfolders. Once I knew the problem, it was only a couple minutes to fix it. The IDE was just matching the file name on the tab instead of the complete path when checking for the latest source. This was also the SAME reason that it appeared to compile before saving. (Technically, it still saved before compiling, but it created the full-source file before it saved, so that's fixed as well.)

You should have an update TONIGHT. While it won't have every issue addressed, most all the annoying bugs will be squashed, and you'll see a few more nice features.

Good performance is better than a good excuse.

YAY!

I started noticing problems when I started to use folders. It took a while to work out exactly what caused the problem and how it worked, I do have quite a few seconds of compile time now. I was hoping for a fix so that's why I tested it thuroly(sp?). Didn't expect one so soon

Ok, everyone, the update is here! However, I'm posting it over in Program announcements since CodeSurge is FINALLY at version 1.0!

I feel like it's finally time to move it there as this thread is getting rather hard to follow, and while I still plan to continue to make improvements to CodeSurge, after 1 year and 7 months of developing it, I think it's more than mature enough to warrant 1.0 status. Of course, it's not perfect, but any issues are very minor.

The new thread is now here. Please post any messages there.

Good performance is better than a good excuse.

I'd like everything to be posted in the new thread over in Program Announcements. This one's getting too hard to follow.

Maybe we can get a mod to lock this thread at exactly 1000 posts? Or should we keep it going until 1337 posts? That would be really cool.

I think I remember you saying that it will be DBC compatible too?
Or maybe I never asked that question.

A simple question

Is there the option which I can change to open the Help window in IE?
I wish it opens in IE, and the reason is because it wants to use a function of IE.

Mods, I don't really see any reason to keep this stickied as it's now stickied over in program announcements.

Anyway, as for a DBC version, I've thought about it, but haven't got much further than that. It's a possibility, but I don't know if it will ever be a reality. Actually, that's what I said when I first started writing a little editor in Delphi just to see if I could. I joked to someone on MSN, and said something like "watch this become the next DBP IDE!"(It was called "notesad" at the time) I honestly never meant it at that time. I'm still not sure exactly how this project all came about. It kindof just grew itself.

CodeSurge really has come a long way and is quite nice now.

As far as the DBC editor goes I love TDK's mini ide for DBC, I wish he would finish it.

I always thought CodeSurge had been around for years, so I was very surprised when I found that I had been using DBPro before this IDE even existed. I mean, it was only May of last year that you made a WIP? It feels like I've been using CodeSurge forever but May 2006 feels like last week...

Yes, TDK's go on the dbc ide looks really great.
Did he implement the Tape feature yet, like in CodeKeeper?
If so, maybe I will pick up an old project of mine again, namely the map editor (I would like to clean it up and make it stable enough for open source)

Or was he not going to? Maybe I got confused.

Lukas,
Whatever happened to that DBC IDE you were creating a while back? It seemed like you got quite far with it, and I even helped you out by giving you the highlighting code I had created for CodeSurge. Although, at that time, I hadn't publicly announced anything.

@Code Dragon,
Yep, it's only been around(publicly) for about a year. I started the project on Jan. 20, 2006 according to the comments in my code.

Ah, that's right. I forgot I had even tried to make an IDE.
If I remember correctly I couldn't figure out how to implement the feature I wanted the most: Include File (dbpro style).
I wanted to make a project file with a list of included files.
But I never got around to how I would make the IDE compile the code.

No need to bring the project up though, as I don't use dbc any more and I don't remember where I put the old project files (a lot of stuff has happened to my computer).

edit,
but I'd be more than willing to share the current version open source, in case somebody would like to have a go (and permission from Hyricher to share the syntax code) if I can find the project files.
