Homebrew [WIP]3DS-IDE - A 3DS IDE to write apps in LUA for lpp-3ds(and in the future C)

[AtlanticBit]

3DS-IDE(name is WIP too ) is an IDE to write apps in LUA for lpp-3ds.
The lpp will be downloaded from the github repo and will always be up to date.
With 3DS-IDE I include a special ctrulib that works with lpp-3ds.
When you compile 3DS-IDE projects you can change all parameters like:
App Author
Banner(png)
App Icon(png)
App Sound(~3-4 second mp3)
App Name
All you need to run 3DS-IDE is .NET Framework and a homebrew-enabled 3DS.
3DS-IDE also plans to include C(++) support and a LUA interface designer.
The GitHub repo is https://github.com/AtlanticBit/3DS-IDE and I'll update 3DS-IDE there.
A installer will be included with the final releases.
Until then you can try 3DS-IDE out here(that's all very WIP so if you're desperate to try then go on): https://github.com/AtlanticBit/My3DS-IDESetup
Now let's treat you all with SCREENSHOTS! Because who doesn't like screenshots?
______________________________________________________________________________
Once you start 3DS-IDE you get an integrity check to make sure everything works:

After you continue you have two options:

Let's create a new project, first we need a folder:

Than let's name our app:

And after that you're greeted with the main screen with a WIP code editor, with syntax highliting and autocomplete and, in the future, interface designer:

Awsome work, will be very usefull for making LUA Apps for the 3ds

 

[Rinnegatamante]

Don't know if you plan to add it but an auto-indent feature would be cool.

The integrity check fails even though I have everything installed. What do I do?

It only works with a certain setup I will show how to do in a few days.(or tomorrow )

I see that some stuff is on https://github.com/AtlanticBit/My3DS-IDESetup now, but what is it and what does it have to do with the "specific setup"?

put this in C:\3DS-IDE and run the app. congratulations it's set up

^ that

and nice work anyway

Avast detected it as Win32:Evo-gen partway through the download and blocked it :|

well, that's... unexpected. false alarm. I don't use an antivirus(don't feel I need it, never got a virus) so I can't check

 

[AtlanticBit]

probably my modded scintillanet dlls are detected as viruses

I guess i'll have to turn off real time protection to download it then...
Sucks, but whatever.

i don't know why you want to use it now. the autocomplete is really buggy and you can't even save debug etc.
what I have now is just the begining. I had the first alpha almost finished when I did something wrong with git and it got all fucked up.

>releases something
>says not to use it
I'm just curious, OK?

the github repo it there to keep you updated on the progress, commit names (the next ones will be much more... informative...)

Good work, mate.

3DS-IDE is now just on the edge of a first alpha.
For now it doesn't build anything yet.
You can use it, but now it's just a fancy IDE.
