I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

    1. (IDE/Compiler) Semantic code highlighting

      Improve the syntax highlighter by also highlighting words based on what they mean to the compiler. We could have different colors for objects, rulebooks, kinds, variables, properties, etc.

      The semantic analysis would have to be done by NI, producing a markup file for the IDEs to read.

        We’re seriously considering this, but more discussion and planning is needed: it would require a great deal of work not just for the core of Inform but for all of the interfaces.

      • (IDE) Make Inform more SCM compatible *VW*

        I can't help it ... I'm a software engineer first and an IF author much, much, much further down the list. I want to keep my Inform project in SCM (Source Code Management). I use Git, which has no problem with many of the normal problems (spaces in the file names, etc.).

        However, it's a little hit-or-miss figuring out which files are (re)generated from the source, and which are not. Some guidelines would be nice, and if all generated files were put in a subdirectory, that would be even better.

        The biggest challenge is the Skein. It's stored as a single file, which means that it gets changed on each execution of the game. This would work better if there were too files: a temporary file (not for SCM) that contains recent runs, and a blessed file that contains the portions of the tree that have been locked or blessed.

        I have to say, I like being able to see the history (hits and misses) of my IF over time ... just like with my other program source code.

        • [IDE] Code-only searching in the documentation

          Add a check-box next to the documentation search box that would search only the code snippets in the documentation, and not the main text. Searches for 'in' would become useful, as well as many other English phrases that are also I7 code.

          • (IDE) Create a new IDE for ANDROID devices *VW*

            Given the rise of Android devices (phones & tablets) I'd like to see a new IDE created for the Android platform. At least for Tablets. This would allow for writing 'on the go' as ideas come to mind.
