Syntax scanner complete. *grin*

It actively scans while you type, underlining errors in red like Visual Studio. Additionally, your whole project is scanned before you debug (or on demand from the edit menu);

The final delta, Delta 6, is coming up this week. This version will be a fully-fledged product with a full API (for plugins), all the current bugs ironed out, launch of the reference library, integrated help, and much more.

My original intention of "TorqueDev" was as a codename for an internal release, and I've never been too happy with it. Therefore, from this point forward, the project shall be known as Codeweaver. The domain for the project will still, of course, be www.torquedev.com, and I don't plan on completely making the TorqueDev name disappear. I was really dreading doing this (renaming the project), and I should have done it earlier, but I had other important things to focus on (like actually making this thing work!).

The website will change to reflect the new name when the new version is released.

Oh, yeah, the logo:

... Designed by netMercs' in-house 2D artist. I'm quite impressed and happy with it. I sure hope everyone else is, too.

That's it for now. I expect to get Delta 6 out this week.

Thanks for reading,
Sam Bacsa

Nifty. I only started using TorqueDev/Codeweaver this week, but it's been a good experience. Looking forward to the next release. :)

Might be a little iffy with the name perhaps, there's a company out there called CodeWeavers.

Nick Zafiris (Sep 20, 2005 at 14:10 GMT)

Another great feature! Keep it up!

Steve Miles (Sep 20, 2005 at 15:23 GMT)

Yeah....I'm familiar with the other CodeWeaver too....How about TorqueWeaver? ScriptWeaver? Looks great thought!

Nathan Snell (Sep 20, 2005 at 16:49 GMT)

I like the name... but I could have sworn there was anothe software product that was called Codeweaver.. it may have gone along with Dreamweaver (the webpage development tool).

Anyhow, great job! Looking forward to testing out the intellicode.

Also, how hard would it be to add a timestamp thing? I've looked around and haven't found an insert timestamp... so I wasn't sure if it just wasn't there or if i missed it.

The logo is very nice though...

Chris "DiGi" Timberlake (Sep 20, 2005 at 18:01 GMT)

CodeWeaver? Similer to Dreamweaver? Do you plan on extending this took past Torque Script? Maybe Torque C++?

BTW: Great work!

Chris \"C2\" Byars (Sep 20, 2005 at 21:44 GMT)

I love the logo, name, and work you've completed. Looks amazing.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

The company's name in the site above is called "Codeweavers". There is no trademarked software out there called "Codeweaver". I've done some research, so I shouldn't be violating any copyrights.

I didn't even think of Dreamweaver when I was coming up with ideas. Heh. It's actually better than Dreamweaver ;)

I've been waiting for someone to come up with an IDE/Debugger called Torque Wrench...maybe it's copyrighted however, I'm not sure!

Teck Lee Tan (Sep 21, 2005 at 08:10 GMT)

Torque Wrench would be a great name. Oddly enough it sounds familiar enough to me that it may actually already be in use.

Something I noticed yesterday about TorqueDev: if I've got a line of code/comments long enough to extend past the right extent of the window, the auto horizontal scroll gets a bit wonky. Kinda hard to explain, but I'll attempt.

Say the line I'm typing extends past the right extent. The window autoscrolls to the right, and that works fine. What doesn't work is any subsequent auto scrolling. Supposing I finish up the line and hit Enter. The window autoscrolls to the left, but it doesn't go all the way, so the leftmost characters/tabstops are offscreen (this typically includes the beginning of the line I'm working on). If I start typing on this new line, the window starts autoscrolling, but the characters I'm typing remain hidden to the left of the window.

Hope that was clear enough.

edit: Oh, I should add that the only way I've fixed the scrolling is by grabbing the scrollbar and dragging over so the cursor is in view again. It then proceeds to repeat if I do the above.

edit2: One last observation. The autotab functionality (after curly braces) doesn't seem to kick in if you're working on the last line of the file (ie, new line). If I'm working in the middle of a file, it works fine, but if I jump all the way to the end and, say, start up a new function, TD doesn't kick in an autotab after I hit Enter after a curly brace.

edit3: Final observation. Honest. :p The little function selector dropdown at the top of the window doesn't appear to take namespace functions into account (eg. simObject::foobar() won't show up, but foobar() will.
