FIRST IMPRESSION
First time I opened this app, I was blinded by the default blue background and purple (non-fixed width!) font this app has. Luckily the creator added an option to change the background colour, as well as the font and its colour.
The app seemed simple enough though. Just a few buttons, a few menu options, one bigass script editing place and a little debugger/whatever in the bottom.
USAGE
Okay, so I now went using the program. It takes a sec getting used to the alternative buttons, but they're pretty straightforward. The page makes a new file, the chest opens one and the save machine saves. Smart!
Less smart was that only one file at a time could be open. Sure, I could just start two instances of the editor, but I'd rather have had an MDI interface.
There's a direct button to the DinkC reference, which is useful. The menu options were simple but clear. The compile option is very useful. The syntax checker I praise, because it can even filter out non-existant DinkC functions, and it even checks if the function was declared otherwise!
UPS
Easy to use interface.
There's room to work in.
Very good syntax checker.
Registering the program as default .c app.
Quick compile option.
DOWNS
The undo feature just had one undo, which is annoying.
The find and Find&replace options are useful, but they hide behind the app as soon as you click the main window.
You can only open one file.
No syntax highlighting.
Projects are manages by a new dcp file, rather than a Dmod directory.
Bad default font and background.
No toolbar customization.
LOWDOWN
I'd give this a 6.5. It's pretty good, but could use for some more work and options (ESPECIALLY MDI interface and project management per Dmod directory).
