Danmakufu Function Highlighting for Notepad++

[Sakuya Izayoi]

I recently went into a strange mood and created a custom Notepad++ language that highlights every function for Danmakufu, and includes some nice highlighting of numbers, strings, and comments.

Screenshot:



Danmakufu initializations with # and comments are in green.

Basic functions are in purple.
Graphic and Sound related functions are in sea-green.
Basic loop and ifs, whiles, lets, are in blue, as well as math operations.
Get information functions and math functions like sin() are in maroon
Numbers are in orange and strings are highlighted, and you can escape strings using /.

Folders were implemented (and remain in the language) but I removed them because they disabled NPP's default bracket pointing.

And now for the download. Just open View -> User Defined Dialogue and Import the .xml.

I'd like that, I have a hard time remembering the code so that should be helpful.

It should at least cut down the frustration caused by forgetting to capitalize some random letter in a function. I've had that happen to me so many times.

[Mr. Blue]

Yes! Please continue working on this program. Danmakufu needs something like this and it's a pain to have to keep going to danmakufu wiki just to work on something. Good Luck!

Even though there's a new version, it's currently not usable, I..e. it's actually Alpha stage :V I'd love this personally!

Now I only wish that Notepad++ would let you create custom syntaxes for each individual function. i.e. Typing in CreateShot01 and it would show you all the parameters necessary for the function. AFAIK this hasn't been implemented, even for officially supported languages.

If it was then it would take a while to enter each parameter in manually. They should implement an .XML importing system for parameters so I can download the wiki page and write a perl script to sort everything out.

AWESOME EDIT: I just checked SourceForge and found out that function AutoComplete does exist for User Defined Languages. It's an .XML file wil the title of the language (東方弾幕風.xml) put right in NPP's API folder. I will begin creating this file that will actually SHOW you what parameters you need as soon as you begin typing a function.

Code: [Select]

CreateShot01(
       [x,y,speed,angle,graphic,delay] <-A little tooltip to make you life easier.

Oh man! That is the best thing ever, I regularly forget what order they go in O:

That definitely help

[Sakuya Izayoi]

SUCCESS!

Now all I need to do is import EVERY single set of function prototypes from the wiki. For now I'm going to do the Bullet Control Functions by hand and maybe see if I can make a perl script to automate it.

OMGEdit: Wow Notepad++ wants everything sorted in alphabetical order. All 300 something functions.

This makes me cry of happiness.

[Sakuya Izayoi]

Well now I imported every function into the XML file, but right now it doesn't seem to be working anymore. It might be because I haven't put the parameters for EVERYTHING yet, and Notepad++ want's it's XML made PERFECTLY.

I'm going to ask at the NPP Wiki forums and I'll pace myself with defining these functions. There are 334 in total, and I'll probably go 20 a day, but it will most likely be erratic because I'm currently on vacation in Italy. I return to the USA the 1st of September and school doesn't start until the 20th.

It should be easy enough to have a macro sort the functions in alphabetical order for you. But yeah, this is fucking amazing. Godspeed to you, good sir.

[Schezo]

This is so awesome and it really helps in my scripting!  Thank you!

[Sakuya Izayoi]

Status Update: I have confirmed with the NPP forums and with a small experiment that I am formatting this file correctly. I removed every function that I haven't described yet, closed off all XML tags, and everything is running smoothly.

The only little dings in this thing have to do with functions and their return values. You can input what values the function returns into the tooltip, but it looks a little awkward. I am generally only doing this for functions that only return values (e.g. GetPlayerX) and functions that return non-integer values.

Some other tooltips might look wierd as they require no parameters (GetAngleToPlayer), but I will give each and every function a description, so you don't need the wiki if you discover a function that you are not quite sure what does.

[Elementoid]

Bleghhh. This looks really useful and I want to use it, but I'm not sure what it means to import an XML files or how to go about doing it. I opened the "user-defined" dialog but it's not letting me interact with it at all.

Halp?  :ohdear:

Assuming that you imported it correctly, go to the language button at the top.  Near the bottom should be the code for the Danmakufu highlighter.
