New Open Turing Editor *Alpha* - Autocompletion, tabs, regex search and more

For a while now I have been working on a new editor for Open Turing.

It has many new features like:

  • autocomplete
  • code folding
  • tabs
  • regular expression find and replace
  • optional dark theme


Unfortunately there has been limited human/unit testing so there are many undiscovered bugs. There are also many known bugs that are still being fixed.
Many of the bugs are a result of the hackish way it runs code. It calls the old editor to compile the code and then has a special runner execute it.


It is not ready for use by everyone. But it is functional enough that I, and a number of my friends, use it regularly.

If you want to try it you can download it here: https://github.com/downloads/Open-Turing-Project/turing-editor-qt/OpenTuring.zip

To run it open NewEditor\OpenTuring.exe in the package.

Please post bugs in this topic or on github issues. There will be lots.

Math.Distance does not highlight correctly (Math does however). It also has Distance pop up twice in the autocomplete. Also a feature I'd suggest is a little pop up box saying parameters and other information for a function. (like VS with ///<summary>)

None of the built-in functions highlight. I haven't migrated the 1000+ line keyword list from the old editor yet. I will fix the distance thing, thanks. And I used to have the popups but they mysteriously stopped working and I'm still working on why. But I agree they are really useful.

Wow, these new features are great (especially the tabs and the code-folding)! You must have spent a lot of time developing the program! :O

But somehow, when I click "run," my output screen will never open (even though I get the message" compile suceeded, running..."). Does this has anything to do with the fact that my computer finds "turingexeprolog.exe" suspicious and removes it?

Also, for the auto-complete, is there any way to make it so that you can select the option you want with your mouse?

@trishume yeah that popup thing is probably the biggest reason I use an IDE (I can learn new library functions without having to read through giant documentation manuals)

Post subject:  Re: New Open Turing Editor *Alpha* - Autocompletion, tabs, regex search and more

If your making this, and seriously spending the time to make this IDE, I just wanna suggest one thing, the most usefull thing for any IDE, At t he right top corner make it show links to procedures and functions

for example, if this was your program

Turing:
procedure x (s : string)
put s
end x

procedure y (var x : string)
x := "hello world"
end y

function i (pie : boolean) : string
if pie then
result "You have pie!"
end if
result "you dont have pie! :("
end i


Then your IDE would display at the top right corner

code:
proc x (s : string)
proc y (var x : string)
function i (pie : boolean) : string


and when you click on proc x for example it would focus your screen to it. It would make everyones live 100% easier because I always, ALWAYS check my procedures to see what I set my parameters to :S lol Then too, if you improve debuging (turing is generally easy to debug but) if you improve debuging you can make for example a red x appear beside the procedure that is causing the problem.

Yes, turingexeprolog.exe is essential.

Nitty gritty:
turing.exe is passed the flags "-compile file.t"
this compiles it into a .tbc (turing byte code) file
turingexeprolog.exe is passed -file file.tbc which runs the program.

And @copthesaint the "mark" menu does that, just not as well. It's crappiness is on the bugs list.

Post subject:  RE:New Open Turing Editor *Alpha* - Autocompletion, tabs, regex search and more

did you take out the "replace" button?, also, in the autocomplete, could you have it put the parameters beside the name? i HATE having to check which parameters go where.
@Alex C: for the spell check thing, just have it hightlight any variables/procs/fcns that turing cant find

EDIT: just found the replace button, under find, never mind!

The idea of a ribbon UI has potential, it really comes down to how well it's implemented/designed.
I may take part in this, the graphics would be easy enough for me to do.
Programming being more of a hobby, if someone else designs the interface I could take care of visual appeal.

Yeah, I'm gonna take it up as a personal project after exams to also improve my JavaScript and jQuery skills. I would probably have to start with compiling a GeSHi library for Turing (help appreciated! though I could beg Dan and Tony to give me the one on this site) and then make a static typing thingy before implementing the IDE in JavaScript.

We'll see how it goes. I'm hoping that I don't fail terribly. This will be an excuse to learn HTML5 and improve my JavaScript skills.

I think that we shouldn't steer this thread off topic but one question, would you suggest that all compiling take place server-side and or client-side? Server side would slow down the server if many people use it (though I doubt anyone out of CompSci would).

I think this was actually discussed before, and certain phones have in the license agreement something about not compiling user's code or something. I'm not 100% sure, but it's something you should look into before investing time on making apps for the phones.

Thanks for letting me know...though we could probably get around that if the code is compiled by the server Wink

Post subject:  Re: New Open Turing Editor *Alpha* - Autocompletion, tabs, regex search and more

The thing with a web IDE is that everything would have to be done server-side unless you reimpliment the entire compiler. Which is quite the task.

And barring some really intense code you could only do text in and out.

To get it to work you would have to implement a command line switch for turing that redirects input and output to stdin. Then you could call that from rails or php.



For the ribbon UI I don't think that's a good idea because there are too few actions for it to be useful and it would take up a lot of vertical space.
I would love some help making it look nicer though. Just keep in mind that it is written in Qt. So there are no windows specific gui components like ribbons.
I can theme existing components though.

Also if anyone wants to learn Qt styling you can add css to stylesheet.qss in the new editor directory and it will load it.

Lunduke language compiles to native code for any supported platform (most compilers only compile for the platform it exists on, ie gcc for mac only compiles for mac, etc). Lunduke supports many mobile platforms. Lunduke is also written in itself, so you can compile it for your phone if it's supported and then write Lunduke code on your phone. Unfortunately the iPhone TOS likely prohibits this.

I was thinking the exact same thing...one solution could be the implementation that Dan uses for DWITE, though that's only text.
I guess that work could be comparable to OnLive...I'm gonna start with a WYSIWYG front end first though.

Post subject:  Re: New Open Turing Editor *Alpha* - Autocompletion, tabs, regex search and more

Something you could do that would be useful for DWITE and all sorts of things is create a fork of openturing that has no platform dependent code.

All you'd have to do is remove references to functions with the mdio and ed prefixes and then write a command line interface for it.

From that all the platform dependent input, sound and graphics could be implemented in SDL and then with the Qt editor turing would be truly cross-platform.

With a cross platform version development would also move faster and turing would work better. When working on Open Turing I spend a remarkable amount of time fighting with Window's terribly designed APIs.

It annoys me how they got their act together and made good .NET apis but their C/C++ APIs are so terrible.

That's why they were able to make good .NET library. By dropping support for those things that don't support .NET.

But yes C/C++ should not be windows only, there is no real benefit.

That would be 95% useless, this is still Turing, which means schools (if the program is made well) will be using the program mostly. and improved mark menu will be all that is needed, if even that is needed.

Ya. I am an avid user of Sublime Text (Even wrote a plugin.) And I agree that a minimap is not a priority for the new editor.

Whenever I am working on Open Turing I try to keep the user base in mind (favourite mantra: "This is not C++, this is not C++")

Some of Turing's design decisions make me shudder (colour numbers) but they usually make it easier for new users. Even though I would prefer full RGB. The RGB module / colour number is a great way to satisfy both types of users.

This editor is really amazing. Good job, and keep up the work! I do have one request... The Complete Structure function is really amazing, but the hotkey CTRL + Return... I don't even have a return button >..<

Is there anyways you could change it something convenient while coding? Like CTRL + Any_letter. Maybe CTRL + E.

Also, in Eclipse it has a very useful Delete Line command (CTRL + D). That'd be a cool implementation.

They keyboards that do are the ones that have enter in the main part, and return in the numpad part. But they are essentially the same thing (a very small amount of programs may detect differences in which enter key was pressed but for the most part they treat it the same)

I know that when I was writing my Chess game in C++, the SDL library had different codes for the 2 enter/return buttons but I have yet to see a program where the do different things. Closest is that I believe I have had the number pad one not work in some programs.

Not sure about other things if they handle them individually or as the same.

Well I know left and right shift alt and control sometimes do different things. The numpad return key is probably not used as a different command just because some keyboards don't have them.

Not sure if this was known before, but I downloaded it yesterday and started playing around and noticed that if you try to use the scroll bar in the drop down auto-complete type feature, the entire box.

As in you type Text. and the drop down appears but if you click something in it, the box will disappear

yes. Currently and possibly forever the autocomplete is keyboard based.

I'd also like to add that there should be a "Minimize All Tabs" button. Because traversing the file and minimizing every procedure every time i re open the file is a bit annoying. It'd be much easier to get where i need to be if I could minimize it all and then maximize the tabs I need. (By tabs I mean the + and - on the left margin)
