Hi all Has anyone tried this with blitzmax ? Before I shelve out the dosh, just want to know if it is worth it or not. Thanks |
| ||
It works very well. No intellisense yet, and i'm beginning to like the debugger. Added bonus is that you get Protean for the classic versions of Blitz as well... |
| ||
how did you get the debugger to work ? I love the IDE btw :) |
| ||
The newest beta has it in. Just put a debug stop in and you will get a similar debug view as in the actual orig IDE. |
| ||
I see the guy who made protean is going to intern at microsoft, I really hope he carries on with the protean max ide. |
| ||
I simply cannot get debuggin to work, Also my contexts are not showing up, like my functions and types in an organised box. Anybody else get this ? |
| ||
oh btw I have the 1879 version |
| ||
any ideas guys ? |
| ||
Demo available? How many bucks? |
| ||
A demo is available - but doesn't work with BlitzMax. This needs updating as I'm not going to pay for anything I haven't tried. ;-) |
| ||
There is no demo, but what I can tell you is that it is worth every penny spent, $47 IIRC. I got the debugging working and it helps a lot. It really helps in organizing files, completing common code, function folding, regions etc... |
| ||
There is no demo What's this then? http://www.proteanide.co.uk/index.php?pid=downloads |
| ||
There is no BM demo as the Blitz Max Version is still in closed beta for registred users. |
| ||
I've been using Protean since Rob first released it way back. Without a doubt the best decision I ever made since buying Blitz itself. |
| ||
@Steve http://www.proteanide.co.uk/index.php?pid=downloads I think is for the regular Protean. There's a specific Protean-BlitzMax beta that only registered users can get. |
| ||
I am having the trouble that I cannot seem to get the Protean IDE debugger to work (BlitzMax build 1879). I'm running with Graphics 640,480,0, which under Blitz IDE launches my game in a window, but under Protean nothing happens when I hit f5 (it launches the process and just hangs). I'm also having the problem where my data types aren't showing up. But in general, I give a big thumbs up to Protean. |
| ||
I'll certainly consider it when it's out of beta - perhaps BlitzMax will be out of beta as well by then. ;-) |
| ||
@Tigger To break into debug mode ( which kicks serious ass btw ) at the line you want to break, type DebugStop you will then have debugging capabilities. What do you mean about data types not showing up ? You mean contexts ? |
| ||
Yeah Protean rules I gotta say. Lame thing is, for now Im sticking with the multi-platform IDES just cause I own a Mac and a PC, so Im actually almost always using the Blitz IDE. Hell I can wait, I mean Blitz is only what, 4 months old? Im digging every bit of it. In the beginning, I was hunting around for IDEs like crazy, but then I realized I spent more time diddling with IDEs than actually coding! :) |

Agreed, bmax kicks ass. Protean however has made me like it even more :) |
