A Most Awesome Tool

For anyone working with just about any type of code and using notepad as your development interface, LoL, then you should really take a look at this little gem. It's called Programmer's Notepad and over the past few years has become my most favorite free tool.

Programmer's Notepad

This is not directly related to MMF, but if you're using MMF as your frontend for any program that calls scripts, web development or anything else you can think of where you may need to work in Notepad, I suggest a little upgrade. You won't be sorry for checking it out.

Use Notepadd++ it's so much better and supports so many other languages.

Seriously, I used Programmer's Notepad first, but then switched to Notepad++.

I don't think I got my point fully through here:
USE NOTEPAD++

Hmm, I'll give Notepad++ a hats off on the interface goodies, but as for language support, Programmer's Notepad supports languages Notepad++ does not and vice-versa. I think better is subjective to opinion as it appears both programs do quite a lot of the same and have different features. It's almost like comparing Flash and MMF, they both do a lot of the same but handle a lot of things very differently. Choices are always a good thing.

I'm not convinced, there are a lot of game creation tools out there and MMF2 in my book is the best.

Did you actually read any of this thread? Seriously?

LoL, again, these are all OPINIONS. Believe me, I am a staunch MMF supporter, well a Clickteam supporter in general and have been using their products since Klik N Play back in 1994. The point is, these are OPINIONS. Depending on what it is you want to accomplish, different situations require different tools and since everyone works a bit differently, have different backgrounds, learn visually versus cognitively and so on, many tools that produce the same output have many different approaches to accomplish this task. It all depends on what you need to accomplish, how you learn and so on. Besides, having a variety of options in order to develop a positive opinion about one of those options is a good thing. It sure beats the snot out of having only one option that may be good for some but not so good for others.

The bottomline line is OPINIONS, and we all know what they say about opinions. I posted Programmer's Notepad here so people that use Notepad have an option. MechaBowser posted Notepad++ here because he thinks it is better, which is his OPINION. All I'm saying is use whatever you like so long as it WORKS FOR YOU.

No dude, Notepad is the best programming language ever. You can change the font and stuff, its light years ahead of MMF.

Calc and Minesweeper come in a close 2nd and 3rd.

I make all my games in notepad
I once did pacman
thought I never figured out how to implend controls

Cute, but these remarks are irrelevant. This conversation is about scripting add-ons working with MMF, not using notepad for making games. Your sarcasm is useless.

Joe

It's not like it matters anyways since rarely anyone uses a scripting language (which is currently only LUA) for MMF2 and those who did already knew of these tools.

Seems to have run its course.

Users can note the notepads and decide from there.

Thanks for recommendations from users.

Closing.
