I just googled it and saw a couple..but will they work for developing for the PSP?

**youresam** · 08-19-2006, 08:15 AM

Huh?
Does that mean Integrated development environment?

**hàrléyg²** · 08-19-2006, 08:21 AM

Yes, it does.

Im pretty sure vim has synstax highlighting and auto indentation for all languages, so lua should be cool with that

The only "real" IDE for the PSP is TTLDE, because I think to be considered an IDE, it has to be able to actually run the code. So for the PC, there aren't any programs that will work as an IDE. So, as harleyg mentioned, I think it is best to use a code editor with syntax highlighting and auto-indentation, because even though IDE's have these features, they generally consume much more resources than just editors.

Yep. IDE = Integrated Development Enviroment. It's like Dev-C++. It's got the text editor and the compiler and everything built right in. So you don't have to compile and run things from the CL.

Hm..well then..I think I'll just give LUAplayer a go then and try things from the CL.

I prefer to use ConTEXT which really isn't and IDE, but it is really helpful. You can set it up so you can run the lua file with windowsluaplayer inside of the program. It has syntax highlighting for a whole bunch of programming languages including LUA, C/C++, HTML, Perl, PHP, Python, VB, SQL, and many more. You can even dl new plugins to use. www.context.cx

Thanks for the link, CtrlAlt.

To do what i said, after you install, goto options>enviroment options>execute keys, then click on add. Type "lua" (no period before). Then click on the key you want to execute the script with. In the execute box browse to you luaplayer.exe file, and under parameters type "%f". That should have you set.
