IDE for Torque 2D?

#1 No reason at all you cannot use the IDE's that target TGE for T2D, especially on the script side. To an IDE, a file is a file, and T2D uses the same files for the same reasons (for the most part) as TGE does.

#2 That's good to know! Is there any one IDE you would suggest over the others?

#3 I'm actually not an IDE kind of guy...I started using UltraEdit back when I was doing completely remote development on a MUD, and have been with it ever since.

For strictly text editing (no compilation, debugging, etc in an integrated manner), it's an excellent editor. There are also quite literally 5+ different IDE's all focused around Torque that can be used...do a quick search for Torque IDE and you might get some strong references.

#4 I started using TorqueDev about a week or so ago, and I'm more than happy with it.

#5 Torsion, forums.sickheadgames.com/viewtopic.php?p=309

#6 I still use jEdit with ProjectViewer and TIDEBrowser... started using it when TGE came out, but it still gets the job done. ;)

#7 I've tried TorqueDev and Torsion. As a beginner, I like Torsion better as it was easy to set up and start coding with T2D. TorqueDev would probably benefit advanced coders more because it has more features.

#8 If you are windows only, you can use t2d.net (currently in beta)

i will be posting an update to it next week.

#9 I wrote a how-to for setup of Slickedit (a commercial programmer's editor) for torquescript

I use Torsion for debugging, until I figure out how to get the Slickedit debugger model can be extended.

#10 TextPad does support TorqueScript syntax highlighting (It's what I use). It just has to be downloaded from their website

#11 Well I'll be - I never thought to even look on the Textpad site!

Thanks!
