I don't think that it will be straight forward with 5.9.x no longer being supported by The Qt Company.

I am sure you would need to go with 5.15, to be able to create a universal build.

Not according to the supported platforms for the current release. But TED should run via Rosetta for the time being.

I hope that QT is not needed for much longer because It eats resources and I only learned to use because of Cerberus-X. All it does is compilling a TED over and over again. What about a simple editor for simple people like me? I need cut copy paste, colours syntax, load/Save project, and a debug/play button.And a great view for documentation where you can overview and jump around easily.

Hades sounds like a great name and idea but what about an add-on for Visual Studio Code?
It takes lot of time to create an IDE. But do people actually use all those fancy IDE features that is put into all editors nowadays? Because again, they must take enormous efforts to create!

I don't know many coders and I don't know their habits but I for one never use predictors or whatever they are called, and nothing else either.
I happily use a simple editor with a good manual on the other hand that is worth a alot.

I can write the complete feature list here that I will use in my life time :
NEW LOAD SAVE, CUT COPY PASTE, SOME NICE STYLE, SOME NICE DOCUMENTATION. That's plenty IMHO.

Maybe Project management ontop of that. So one can handle LOADS OF FILES easily. Because, it is 2020, and we need it.

I started implementing syntax highlighting for Cerberus for Sublime Text 3 but I have a long way to go to get all the grammar in properly :/

As @Phil7 posted his progress, I guess I should do too. I am always heavily busy with daily life and my day job. That leaves less time for leisure. But I was able to do some stuff CX related.

I am trying to port some ImGui stuff to CX for Desktop and maybe IOS and so far it works good.

The code to produce this ui looks like this:

        startFrame()

        ig_BeginMainMenuBar()
            If ig_BeginMenu("File")
                If ig_MenuItem("Exit","CTRL+F") Then EndApp()
                ig_EndMenu()
            Endif
            If ig_BeginMenu("Edit")
                ig_MenuItem("Undo")
                ig_MenuItem("-")
                ig_MenuItem("Copy")
                ig_MenuItem("-")
                If ig_BeginMenu("Submenu")
                    ig_MenuItem("Entry 1#")
                    ig_MenuItem("Entry #2")
                    ig_EndMenu()
                Endif
                ig_EndMenu()
            Endif
            If ig_BeginMenu("View")
                If ig_MenuItem("show Window") Then showwindow = True
                ig_EndMenu()
            Endif
        ig_EndMainMenuBar()
        If showwindow
            showwindow = ig_Begin("Hello, world! This is CX 4#", True)
        
            ig_Text("Hover over me")
            If ig_IsItemHovered() Then ig_SetTooltip("I am a tooltip")
            If ig_Button("ba="+ba,[100.0,20.0]) Then ba+=1
            ig_Text("style= "+ig_GetStyleColorName(0))
              
            myInt  = ig_SliderInt("SliderInt ",  myInt , -20, 20)
            myFloat2 = ig_SliderFloat2("SliderFloat2",myFloat2, 0.0, 10.0)
            ig_PlotHistogram("PlotHistogram",[0.6, 10.1, 1.0, 5.5, 3.92, 0.1, 7.2 ], 7,2,"xxx",0.0,11.0,[0.0,80.0])
 
             If ig_TreeNode("Treenode #1")
                ig_Text("Entry #1")
                 if ig_TreeNode("Treenode #2")
                    ig_Text("Entry #2")
                       ig_TreePop()
                 Endif
                 ig_TreePop()
            Endif
            If ig_CollapsingHeader("Collapsing header")
                    ig_Text("Entry #3")
                    ig_TextColored([1.0,0.0,0.0,1.0], "Entry #4")
                    ig_TextColored([1.0,0.0,1.0,1.0], "Entry #5")
            Endif
            ig_BulletText("Bullet point 1");
            ig_TextDisabled("ig_TextDisabled");
            ig_LabelText("ig_LabelText","BeispielText");
            ig_TextWrapped("This text should automatically wrap on the edge of the window. The current implementation " +
                "for text wrapping follows simple rules suitable for English and possibly other languages.")
            ig_ProgressBar(0.5,[200.0,20.0],"Progressbar")
            inputTxt = ig_InputTextWithHint("password (w/ hint)", "<password>",inputTxt, ImGuiInputTextFlags_Password)
            inputMultiline = ig_InputTextMultiline("Mulitlinetext", inputMultiline)
            ig_End()
        Endif
          renderFrame()

ImGui is an intermediate GUI, means you do everything inside the OnRender Method of mojo or mojo2.
Because of the limitations of the CX language, you can't port something like this 100% and have to do some workarounds.
Also for some odd reason, MakeDocs has a problem with to many enumerate definitions. Have to look into this.
There is still quite some work to do, but I think it will be a nice addition to CX.

 

[Holzchopf]

Also for some odd reason, MakeDocs has a problem with to many enumerate definitions. Have to look into this.

oh no how exactly? Is it reproducible with just the enum definitions on their own? Could you share them, so I can investigate?

 

[MikeHart]

Will send you the files tonight.

 

[MikeHart]

Ok @Holzchopf , here they are.

EDIT: Doooh, found my mistake. MakeDocs just works fine. It was a missing space between the # and Enumerate

 

[MikeHart]

[MikeHart]

Nothing much, but on its way to be a valuable tool... atm I am working on the internals before I slap on an UI.

This is the current change log for the next version, which I hope will be out in May to keep the 6 month schedule for official releases.
