[quote]Now make it run the files you write and add multiple file support and we have a working IDE!

Sounds good but i have a lot of things to implement before that
[quote]The word you are looking for here is “syntax highlighting”.

Yes its that (i am portuguese so i have some difficults to say somethings
[quote]Maybe make the moonpad find your JDK / JRE automatically (if possible) using environment variables and add a “compile” button?

Actually that is what I will do
Version 0.3:
»New on the Menu and ToolBar
»Dialog Box corrected for save option
»Release Log removed
»Undo and Redo on the Menu and ToolBar
»New Icon
»Class structure is in TextArea when you open the Moon Pad
»Button to add the Main Method in TextArea
You should make a game editor. So far there is no real platform for game developers in java.
Maybe a GLSL designer, Pipeline over-view, Level editor, stuff like that.
The only other editor is JMonkey engine. But that doesn’t really let you make your own engine. (Handle textures in specific way and all)
jMonkeyEngine: make your game
You want lower level, more control? libGDX. It’s a framework, not an engine. You build your engine, and then your game.
Lower than that? LWJGL. You build (nearly) everything.
Also for GLSL there’s shadertoy (limited, but good for fragment shader testing), and then there’s SynthEclipse.
Level editor? Gonna pretty much be game-specific. There’s also Tiled.
I mean a diagram on whats happening, like you can stop the game, see what part of the frame is happening and in slow motion. So you get a better understanding on whats doing what.
Sorry I don’t make sense some times. I like to pretend I know about OpenGL.

By now the Moon Pad will be just a code editor but possibly in the future could become an IDE
Version 0.4

»Saves only if there are changes in the text area
»“Would you like to save?” Message when exit
»Moon Pad only closes at Exit button on the menu
»Status Bar with Line and caracter count
»Bug Fixed
