BIDET, an alternative IDE. - Bhsdfa - 05-01-2025

Hello guys! I'm making an IDE alternative to our current QB64pe one, this is a still work in progress and is missing a bunch of advanced or even basic features. I also have a lot of plans for it, which I have written down.

Here's a screenshot, you might be curious what's happening on the screen, it's one of the animations present in my IDE. When you delete a letter or even line it pops the letter out and either applies gravity or acts as if the mouse were a black hole.

I still need to figure out a bunch of stuff, mainly how to do syntax highlighting and error checking when compiling. (feel free to give me suggestions or help me with ideas, if you want to talk with me about it please DM me on discord! My tag is "bhsdfa")

Nice! I assume BIDET will have an automatic code cleanup feature?

Neat project - keep up the good work!

What an odd name, ha! "cleanup code feature" what an assumption!

Hi
Bhsdfa, fine monumental project that I find interesting.

But about the name I am with Bplus, please make an effort for changing it in a more suitable one.
take a look here for the why BIDET

BIDET is funny, memorable and isn't hard to say so that's why I chose it, my options in mind were either NIDE or BIDET, ended up with the current one just because it's silly. NIDE stood for "New IDE" (booooring...)

Ok do you like the challanges! The first one is the name: an invite to be clean.
So a text editor, maybe multilanguage...
some starting questions about your project:
1.
about text highlighting what do you like to use, an inner parser with inner configuration or a parser that loads settings for colors and a list of keywords from external?
2.
about help for keywords do you like a classical kind like that of QB45 in a different window that covers that of editor or a floating window like a cloud movable on the screen to let see and write code while help page is visible?
3.
Moreover the syntax  control is active on writing suggesting the relative help or is it active in compilation time?

Thanks for sharing and Good luck
