Which current editor is the best?
I think my editor (pydink editor) is the best, but note that nobody agrees with me yet.
My editor started as a script preprocessor, so I don't have to use all the braindead workarounds to make things work in DinkC (spaces and newlines here but not there; + is really +=, but *= is not *; everything referenced by number instead of by name; you've worked with it, I'm sure you know what I mean).
I've later added a GUI to create maps. I think it works alright, but it is not yet worthy of the name "beta". People who want to test it are having a hard time without help. But have no fear! If you want to try it out, I'm happy to assist you, to make it work. The upside of this is that you can request features and they will (most likely) be made for you. The downside is that you will likely need to request some features and you will most likely need to wait a bit for them to be made.
To get an idea of how it works, you can look at some clips of me editing that I uploaded to YouTube. You will want to stop the videos and read the scripts to appreciate their syntax.
I hope you like the idea. If you're not interested, that's no problem of course.
Note: the editor is written in Python, and requires a relatively strong CPU (stronger than what you need for Dink). It shouldn't be a problem with any relatively modern computer, but a Raspberry Pi was reported as too weak.
