LUA Environment

Filed under: Uncategorized — Kevmar @ 6:38 am

I had a question about what environment I use to write LUA with.  I do most of it in Notepad or Notepad++.  I have written a good deal of code in those editors for other things so I am just comfortable with them.  Most of the time with LUA it is for quick edits and changes and Notepad works fine.  When I started to write solid code for KTQ, I moved over to Notepad++ for that project.

I started to look into the Addon Studio for WoW.  I like the idea behind it and it is a development environment.  If I was going to do another large project again, I would give it a try.  I did not stick with it when I tried last time because I was using it at the wrong point in my project.  When I was jumping in for quick changes to files it took too long to load.   I’m not saying that its that slow, but it is slower than notepad.  My dev machine is getting a little old.  I think it would be fine if I left it open while I wrote code.

I guess what I am saying is that I have not given it a fair shot yet and would like to try it again sometime if the project was right.

  1. Wow thanks for that, I’m definitely going to try the Addon Studio out when I get a chance.

    I’m an eclipse using java programmer by day so I really missed intellisense when I tried to code LUA in notepad++.
