Personally I hate WPF and avoid it like the plague.  Every time I've tried it I end up giving up in disgust.  WinForms I feel more closely models how a GUI app actually works.


True there, in fact I can *build* a GUI app three times faster in WinForms. But many businesses (like the one I work at) are not, for some odd reason, looking at people who build WinForms apps anymore.

But yes, WPF workflow is like HTML/CSS, but I'd pout the latter over the former any day of the week, hence Brackets being awesome.
If you use code to help you code you can use less code to code. Also, I have approximate knowledge of many things.

Re opening Sphere formats in a brackets-like editor - Can we reuse the JS-based loading we've already written (i.e. all the web-based format loaders and casiotone's and Flying Jester's desktop JS loaders) to make this happen, or would we need to write brand new format loaders?

Re a brackets-like editor - It's been a long while since I've even looked at brackets; what would be the advantages of basing a Sphere IDE off of it rather than, say, GitHub Atom?

Yes definitely possible. But there are actual file I/O API's that make it a lot easier than before. But in theory all web based approaches would work too.

http://electron.atom.io/

That would be the solution. To me Brackets and Atom are very similar in design and approach, there are no advantages one or the other. The exception being, Atom has this framework called Electron and it seems to do the trick. I'd create such a Sphere Editor with that.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but when I download the zip file in the OP in Firefox, it blocks it because it thinks it's malware. I can right click and have it unblock it, but I shouldn't have to do that in first place. Any ideas?

Looks like a false positive on Mozilla's end (or Google's, since it's their blacklist being used).  There used to be a way to disable the download scanning, I don't remember it now or if it even still works.  Either way, not a lot you can do other than unblocking it after download.

I love the prompt on attempt to unblock:
This file contains a virus or other malware that will harm your computer.

You can search for an alternate download source or try to download the file again later


Not "this file may contain a virus", or "likely contains", no.  "This file contains a virus".  False positives are a well-known fact of life with malware scanning, and yet Firefox is acting like it's so sure of itself.  The ticks me off for some reason.  You're not the only one experiencing it:

Yeah, I thought that was kind of funny. I was just curious why it was throwing this with Radnen's editor

also, the editor won't start now. I tried to run it from explorer and got no response. I tried to run it from the command line and didn't get any output, so I ran it in Cygwin and got this

Windows sandboxing.  The OS recognizes that the files came from the internet and won't run the editor with full trust, preventing plugins from loading.  Easiest way around it is to zip everything up into a new zip file and unzip to remove the flag.  Alternatively, you could just install the minisphere GDK and get Sphere Studio installed that way.

But yeah, I rezipped and unzipped it, and that fixed it.

Yeah, that color scheme didn't come out nearly as well as I envisioned it.  I should probably remove it. :P

so is miniSphere the most feature-complete engine?

Well, more like MSVC.  It's built into the version of Sphere Studio included with the minisphere 1.7 GDK.  You can set breakpoints, step through the JS source, view variables and even inject code at runtime.

Alright, I'm having an issue with setting my games folder. in my Dropbox older, I have Dropbox\Programming\Sphere
Inside the Sphere folder, there is games, minisphere GDK, and Sphere 1.6
I want to set the games folder as the project folder, but when I click save and/or apply, it drops the from the list. The games folder has the usual game folders with the usual game folder contents.
