Code Jumper

Here you'll find a list of the global vars and engine objects of your script. If you want to edit a certain object, look for it in the code jumper. A click onto it jumps to the position in your script where the object was defined.

Code Templates

Some templates for often-used code snippets. Click on a snippet for inserting the code at the current cursor position. You can add your own code templates by saving a code snippet in a file with the extension "wdl" and storing it in the sed_templates folder.

Project Files

This is the Project Navigator, a very handy tool to manage projects. It is located beside the Code Jumper. To the left you see the files that the project "TechDemo" includes. We will go through the step of creating a new project creation below. From the list of files, you can click an item to execute the file. If it's a source file, the editor will open it, otherwise the associated application will execute it. Right click will bring up the project menu (see below). From which you can create a project, load and save, etc. You can also find this menu right next to the Options. The menu contains the four most recent projects. What's also good to keep in mind is that each time the editor is started it will remember which project you did use before you exit last time. This project will be loaded and all it's opened files will be opened when the editor is started. So a project file contains the files in the project and which files that is opened, also other parameters as project name, base directory (described below), etc. When a project is saved, all paths to the files added to the project will be relative to the project file (the folder where the project file is to be saved is used). A good suggestion is to save the project file into the base directory to easily share the project files with other users. A project file could look like this: Project Name: Tech Demo Base Directory: C:\Program\GStudio6\work File: ..\work\auge.mdl File: .\techdemo.cd\ackfont.pcx ... You can open a project file in a simple text editor to edit it manually. New Project Create a new project. If a project is opened and has not been saved, you will be asked to save it. 1) Write the project name, "Tech Demo" for example. 2) You choose base directory, the base directory is a directory where most of the files in your project are located. You don't have to place all files in the project in the base directory. But it will be easier for the adding files procedure in the next step. An example would be to select C:\Gstudio\work 3) Now you get the opportunity to add all files that the base directory contains (including sub-folders). It is strongly recommended to have all the project files in the base directory (in sub folders, etc.) to easily add the files. 4) You're done. The project is created and all files is hopefully added, otherwise you will have to add the files manually. By Add File... in the Project menu. Open Project... Opens an existing project. Loads the project files and open the files that where opened when the project was closed. Save Project/As... Saves the current project. Saves the project files and the files that are opened. Add File... Adds a file to the current project. Remove Deletes the selected file from the project. Notice that the file will NOT be removed from your computer, just removed from the project.
