Glad you are finding the project helpful, @pauljessup :-)

And thank you, @zhengying, for those great suggestions. Having a document embedded for users to look up the API seems like it would be the easiest for us to implement in the near future and will look into that (might make it accessible via the 'menu bar'). I'm presuming you are meaning for the auto-completion to auto-complete with LOVE2D keywords? If so, that is also a great idea. None of the libraries we currently use include such a capability so that may take a while longer to work on. If there is enough interest, it might be helpful for us to open up a repository for others to contribute to the project (e.g. to help with adding that feature). We have a couple of new features we are working on now such as adding a ColorPicker and the including the ability to quickly select some snippets of code to use for commonly used tasks you might want to do with your script.

Great project!

We are working on something similar, or at least something has a subset which would be similar:
Code: https://github.com/nagydani/loveputer

That's definitely something we are interested in, we probably will develop some kind of support for it.
If there is enough interest, it might be helpful for us to open up a repository for others to contribute to the project (e.g. to help with adding that feature).
Definitely would be happy to see the code, and eventually contribute parts of functionality.

That's great, @aldum!

I'll try and check out your project this weekend. Hopefully, we'll also be releasing another update this weekend with: color! (Color picker and ability to customize more of the display and editor colors) and some built-in code snippets. We might also then be close to opening up a repository.

Have a good rest of your week and upcoming weekend :-)

New release: MiniIDE-bm

Release highlights:
Color! Color-Picker to use in your code, change Editor color schemes, and change console text colors
Useful snippets of code that insert into your script to save typing & show you what you can do with MiniIDE
To save screen space, console no longer echoes editor code when running editor scripts (now only echoes console commands)

Users wishing to create their own Editor color schemes .style files can learn how at:
https://github.com/flamendless/Slab/wiki/Style
(MiniIDE uses 3 added attributes in the .style files:
CommentColor = (r,g,b)
StringColor = (r,g,b)
KeywordColor = (r,g,b))

For those wishing to contribute, we now have a public repository:
https://git.sr.ht/~akkartik/MiniIDE
