Looking through the archives, I have seen seen several failed attempts at an Axe IDE.
I an not quite sure how far some of them got but I decided to add to the list of attempts.
I would like to go about it in a different way though. Rather than one person try to create a full program by themselves, the project would be much more likely to succeed if different people contributed different methods.
I am just throwing this out there, if no one is interested or there is a great existing one out there...
Here is a list of features that I think would be cool:
Small font editor
input from the VAT (including editing appvars) -- done
character list with decimal and hex values -- done
jump to labels
search (and replace) in program
jump to line number
math without leaving the program (possibly inline)
settings including customizable keys and menus
a nice menu subroutine that takes a list of strings and returns the number of the option chosen
8x8 sprite editor
copy and paste code
That is all I thought of, any other ideas? If anyone is interested in doing one, tell me and I will update what is being done by who.
If there are multiple of the same routines I will take the best but keep the other in case someone likes that one better.
(maybe I am being too optimistic thinking that anyone will help)
