Found a new coding IDE I thought I'd share

Been toying around with this really nice code editor IDE I found today and setup. It was a massive pain to setup and get looking and working the way I wanted but now that I have, I really like it and thought I'd pass along the discover.

It's actually a plugin for the Eclipse dev environment that add NES support. Originally designed for 6502 based Atari consoles and computers, the plugin dev also added the option to assemble with ASM6 right from the IDE.

It has some very nice error handling where even if you assembled with mainasm.asm, it will open and mark errors in all the include files too. The program also has a nice jump list of labels and variables/constants you can click on to jump right to them in the code. I am quite impressed with it and have already assembled my game from it as it will also auto-launch once it's done assembling. Has native support for FCEUX but am trying to also set it up for auto-launching on assembly into Mesen.

The link to the plugin with instructions on how to set it up https://www.wudsn.com/index.php/ide

And a screenshot I took after successful setup, assembly, and launching of my current project. It makes for a very nice companion to NESmaker.

I'm loving it so far. It's exactly what I pictured in my head that the NESmaker script editor would be like if time and money was no issue and there was a large devteam devoted to NESmaker. Well, I'd also include a special build in emulator/simulator with some of the features similar to the Mesen and FCEUX debugger for stepping through code in real time or dynamic assembly. All in all though, it makes for an amazing companion to NESmaker. The built in NESmaker script editor for quick fixes and adjustments and this one for experimenting and making more drastic changes.

Yeesss, I finally found this post again! I wanted to recreate your setup, but I couldn't find this post. I tried searching with google, then I browsed through the comments of the top 15 posters, but still I missed this thread.
Now I randomly stumbled upon it :)
Bookmarked!

Thanks, I was very happy ^^
My sister wants to learn to program with Python and this made me remember this post. Can't wait to try it out myself.
