-Custom Libraries, with Adriweb's Better Lua API as a built in library. Also the ability to add other libraries of your own.

Sorry, but I don't like the idea of a special environment. I want to keep the compatibility of the script as it is to any emulator. But you could pack the library into a library file and load it in your script! Another option would be, that I'll implement the option of setting a custom standard "Header" which is inserted in every new file you create. (Sorry, my english is bad today

)

That makes sense, but you should at least be able to minimize the header so that you don't have to scroll through it.

Anyways, I probably won't be downloading JSE updates for a while, my calculator is broken and its useless on Student Software. I might be able to get a new one at the start of the school year but I'm not sure yet.

Wow I just saw the new features being added and the interface screenshots and good job. I like how this looks more and more like some sort of professional computer IDE.

The last update includes some ncie functionality. However I found some bugs:
- the autocomplete function will only find functions for gc if you have "gc" or "gc:". Any further character won't be seen as part of "gc:", so "gc:f" will result in autocomplete option "for" and "function"
- When I tried to execute a script rebinding functions of the event handler using "setmetatable(on)" I encountered the problem that your execution page did this too and overwrote my event handler

And some ideas:
- Include other files saved in the editor as kind of header. Not just a standard header but any file that can be loaded from inside the editor
- make the autocompleter recognize variables and user functions
- include the standard table library to the autocompleter (you could also search _G and its subtables for available functions and tables)

Yes, but work! I'll have to completely rewrite many functions to make it possible to collapse/expand parts of the code; that'll take some time. I'll first implement a faster method of scrolling (as you suggested months ago); I only have to find a event for that: I think I'm already using all available Buttons

That's bad news! I hope that won't keep you from developing!

I think you don't have the newest version; I already fixed both

Yes, that part of the code had some mistakes; it was on my todo-list to rewrite it for a while... I'll fix it for the next alpha release!

That'll be work too because the editor deosn't understand anything of the written code yet, it only colors it correctly. But soon holidays begin and I'll have more time to work then!

You don't need collapsible functions, just have a menu item that hides the header.

Hopefully it won't, I may get a new one at the beginning of the new school year, and I still have student software.

Even in the newest version the table library is not included to autocomplete

The coroutine library is mising, too
But the stuff with gc works fine

Maybe you could load the code, cycle through the loaded _G and extract the functions? But I'm not sure if that would work

On JSE 2.0A3 3.1, the multi-lines commentaries don't work:

Code: [Select]

--[[
A commentary
on several lines.
]]

JSE 2.0A4 doesn't work on 3.1.

It would be great to enable thanks to ndless to create a real Lua application with this program, like this editor is one.

EDIT: Special characters like "é", "è" and "à" don't work.

The problem is that such a feature requires ndless and many people don't have ndless installed.

Adriweb · « **Reply #188 on:** July 20, 2014, 06:47:39 am »

Sure, but for those who have it installed, the features is available and for those who don't, it's just "hidden" (or does nothing).
Detecting if ndless is installed is just doing : "if ndless then ... end", I believe. (that's because Ndless adds a global table called 'ndless' to Lua)

But that's not the "hard" part. The actual ndless hook (lua extension rather) that makes a proper .tns from a script is doable, I assume, but it would take a bit of work...

I don't have ndless installed and I don't want to install it. But it's even possible with lua: A file where you can paste your code in and from then on it directly executes it everytime you open the file. It would handle exactly like a normal program with the given code. The only difference would be, that the file has a small script included, which loads the code from the memory.

Yes, I switched back from rendering unicode characters to only ascii characters because of performance issues. Although they look strange in the editor, lua still handles them correctly.

Which is basically not much different from oclua. It would only keep the code forever.

Porting luna should do the job. The problem is that all libraries required to build luna have to be ported to ndless, too.

Adriweb · « **Reply #191 on:** July 20, 2014, 06:34:07 pm »

@CinusMinus : nah, no need to port Luna, the OS has all the functions needed to create/encrypt/compress the XML into a proper .tns

But then, it's a matter of finding them all (might have been done already) and call them correctly.

It seems you added JSE 2.0A4 3.1 but neither does it works. When I try to open it, the OS says the device has to be updated to open it.

Why does the unicode involve such performance issues?

Indeed, I had a problem registering my platform.withGC fallback function on apilevel="1.0", so I just disabled it and forgot to reenable it later, sorry!
Download the OS 3.1 version again to get the fixed file!
Thanks for the report!

Splitting a string in its characters and mind UTF-8 encoded unicode characters is a bit difficult. The Nspire API offers a special string.usub function for that, but it's slower than the normal string.sub function. Now after much optimizing, this wouldn't have a big impact anymore; I could switch it back, but there is another problem: Most functions of the string library doesn't have a unicode equivalent, so I have to use the normal ascii-only functions. Using unicode characters at rendering, but using ascii-functions for editing leads to confusion results: I had this setup for v1.0 and there you can see offset cursor positions other weird behaviours when using unicode characters.

Adriweb · « **Reply #194 on:** July 21, 2014, 01:03:29 pm »

If you want/need a string.ulen function, here you go :

Code: [Select]

function string.ulen(s) return select(2, s:gsub('[^\128-\193]', '')) end
(from https://github.com/Pogs/lua-utf8-simple/blob/master/utf8_simple.lua )
