Atom plugin #44

Open ladyisidore opened 8 years ago

ladyisidore commented 8 years ago

Would it be possible to make an Inky Atom plugin?

If it is, I'm willing to give it a shot myself, I'm just not quite sure if it is achievable.

By an "inky atom plugin", do you mean an ink plugin to make atom inky-like? :)

Yeah, should definitely be possible, and you could reuse some code from inky. Inky is built on Electron, which is part of the Atom project (it's the foundation). I haven't used Atom itself much though, and I have no idea what their plugin architecture is like. On Fri, 29 Jul 2016 at 18:02, Isak Grozny notifications@github.com wrote:

Yup, that's what I meant! An way to preview ink games in Atom itself. I prefer using Atom to actually write the code and prose, but switching between it and Inky is a pain.

I'll take a look at how the plugin stuff works and when/if I have something workable, I'll post it here.

Cool, sounds good! It's probably a fairly Major Project, depending on how full featured you want it to be, but the basics may be easy enough.

Eventually, I'd like it to be a moderately-featured IDE, but initially I'm just going to work on the very basic "display compiled, playable ink story as I'm writing the ink source", since that's the most helpful aspect of Inky.
