Code_Whore, a project of mine

Code_Whore

I have worked on this for a while, and I need some feedback. Basically, Code_Whore is a code editor. Right now it only has five highlighters (C/C++, HTML, GML, Python, Java), but that number will continue to grow. It is a very small application, and I want it to stay that way (only 331 kb). It also has no installer, as I want it to be as simple as possible and be compatible with jump drives (it doesn't use the registry, it will (in the next version) use .ini files).

Current Version: Alpha Y
Screenshot(s): 01
Download: Alpha Y (263 kb)

I would greatly appreciate it if any of you have suggestions, requests for features (or highlighters), bugs, etc.

Very nice looking! I've wanted to do this type of project before but never have! Is this for Windows only?

Do you want to make this an open source project? I would love to work on it.

Sorry for being so late in replying.

As of right now, it is only for windows, but I might re-code it to be linux compatible as well. Mac is out of the question, it seems

Oooh, that reminds me, it is now at Alpha Z, with new features... updating my original post.

As to making it open source... not sure if I want to, but I would appreciate the help. It is coded in Delphi, are you familiar with that language?

EDIT: Why can't I edit my original post? The link in the original post links to the Alpha Z. Anyway, here are the new features:
- Two new highlighters, CSS and PHP
- Two templates. I am now working on a template system where you can create your own templates. These will be auto-detected.
- You can now export code as RTF, HTML, or TeX documents, easily formatting code for easy reading.

Very nice program! The only thing I do not like right now is that you can not turn off the Line Numbers. I only like to see them when I need them. Do you plan on implementing tabs?

No, sorry to say I do not know Delphi well but please keep us updated on the progress.

Nice looking program, I may switch to this as my default editor. Does it handle Unix/Linux and Windows line breaks properly?

[AlexanderRybak]

@Jordan: Turning off line numbers will definitely be added in eventually, as the program becomes more robust (remember, it's only in Alpha stage right now). As to tabs, I might try to add that in, but they may conflict with my textedit box.

@Void: Yes, I'm fairly sure it does. Also, it converts tabs to spaces like all self-respecting code editors should do.

Sorry for double posting. Code_Whore is now Pre Beta. I've made the following changes:
- Added line numbers toggle (per request)
- Took out the templates for now (they'll come back in next release)
- Created a custom highlighter drop down box. Custom highlighters go in the 'CustomHLS' directory. Next version will have a highlighter creation tool
- Added an Assembly highlighter.
