Ren'Py language support in Atom

[williamd1k0]

Hello, I would first like to thank all of this forum for helping me several times in development with Ren'Py.

This topic is about editing scripts.
As much as the integrated editors with Ren'Py are good, always gives that desire to seek a better editor (it's a never-ending search ).
Unfortunately you can not have the same features that highlight the Editra and JEdit has, for example.



Anyway, recently I got to know the Atom editor, which is a customizable editor in many ways.
Editing some scripts for personal use I ended up getting create a plugin to highlight the syntax of Ren'Py.
As I was editing the plugin just to me, still did not save every word syntax, but is already working.

To thank all the help forum I am providing what has already been published and I will continue giving support to plugin.

To use the syntax in the Atom is only starting to install the Atom own: Settings Install Search for "renpy" Install.

Be of much help indicate the missing words, report bugs etc.
Feel free to fork on GitHub: https://github.com/williamd1k0/language-renpy
Atom text editor: https://atom.io/

I do not speak English, part of this is Google Translate!

This looks really nice. I'll try it after 6.99 comes out.

I updated the plugin by adding the largest amount of reserved words that I know or have ever used.
It's kind of impossible to know all the reserved words in order to add it the highlights.
It would be nice if someone could help by making a list of words to add, separating categories.
Any other information see the repo on GitHub: https://github.com/williamd1k0/language-renpy

Remember: this was translated with Google Translate.

This look interesting. The autocomplete add-on make it very nice feature.
It's a little heavy in cpu while opening it, and scrolling compared to others code editors, but that is easily understandable because is based in chromium.
The developers are actively updating and the change log is always with the update.
When a ren'py file is opened are not recognized as ren'py rather than python, but is easily changeable.
I think this is great alternative script editor for ren'py to be available and is cross-platform that's a great plus.

https://github.com/renpy/renpy/blob/mas ... eywords.py

has the complete list. Most of those are properties, rather than keywords - they're hilit to let people know they spelled the word right, mostly.

[williamd1k0]

Hey! PyTom, thanks for the tip! I've added a considerable amount of words, including classes.

About automatic recognition of .rpy files, it does not happen that there is already an indication in the program to open as Python. I already told the Atom developers (via pull request) to disable but not getting return. In any case you can edit the default language-python package to not recognize .rpy. Later I put a "tutorial" on readme.md on GitHub.

For those who want to add features in atom, there's are useful packages.
Minimap is one of them and is the same as sublimetext one. It can be added other packages for more function:

[williamd1k0]

Thanks for the tip, I will add as an optional package in the repository's "README".

[williamd1k0]

Hello everybody!
I'm coming here to warn that the Atom problem in recognizing the .rpy files as Ren'Py Language has been resolved internally in recent updates.
More information on the following links. And soon I will be providing a update with some of the snippets (and sorry for the delay).
Language-Python Issue 61
Atom Issue 6847
Thanks and see you later!

Thanks for this great add-on !

Please make it available for Brackets too. Atom is a little bit to slow at the moment

Hey williamd1k0, I've started using Atom with ren'py and I'm really happy with it. Thank you for your hard work!!

I've been using Sublime 3 with the Ren'py syntax package, is there anything Atom does differently or better? I'd hate to be missing out on a good thing

[williamd1k0]

Well, I got to test the Sublime plugin too, which is very good.

About Atom, it is a relatively new editor yet, but the advantage is that it has an incredibly large community, since the editor is maintained by GitHub.
It comes with several useful features and is well organized on the extensions.

A great advantage over the Sublime, it is totally hackable, which means you can customize even the original extensions of it, for example. You can also create or change snippets according to what you do most often.

It's almost impossible to say that an editor is better than the others, so it's always good to test before drawing a conclusion, after all everyone has their own taste.

I haven't tested the Atom version for a while, but the differences I noticed (looking at the .cson) with the ST plugin are:
-Each have some highlighting that the other doesn't (eg. ST doesn't highlight "dissolve" in a "with dissolve", Atom doesn't highlight labels)
-Different snippets/auto-completes
-As far as I can tell, Atom's plugin isn't context-aware (this was a huge rewrite for ST, but the Atom plugin is more modular than the ST one was at the time, so it would be much easier)

[williamd1k0]

So, as I said, I started this plugin for their own use it because I am not an expert on regex and I decided to share with the hope that someone could help improve it.

Long after I found out about this question of "context" and I intend to rewrite it to let organized that way, so I have time to do that and be able to study better about Regex.

About the "labels", they are working, maybe the version used is not or something.
