The Dink Network

Syntax colouring for DinkC in Notepad++.

Also includes Auto-Completion and Calltips (AKA Intellisense).

(NOTE: A dark theme version is available here).

So, for the longest time, this had been one of those files that I knew existed, but didn't really give much thought to. After a while, I thought I would go ahead and download Notepad++ and give it a try. So I installed it, and followed the included instructions (very detailed) to set up DinkC as a language. I have to say, it is very useful, and I'm glad I downloaded it. I know there are full editors designed specifically for DinkC, but I've always felt more comfortable with Notepad, and Notepad++ is just a better version of it.

Good
*It takes a maximum of five minutes to set up.
*It contains a very large list of functions that you can simply open with Ctrl+Space and select.
*It remembers variables. If you're tired of typing &current_sprite, and have already put one in the script, type &c and then Ctrl+Enter and it will automagically fill in the rest.
*This one is probably a bit obvious, but it highlights syntax. I mean, y'know. It's a syntax highlighter.

Bad
There wasn't actually anything bad with the program. It does everything it says it does and more.

Summary
An easy to install, helpful little D-Mod making tool. I plan on using it from now on.
