FrostEd Alpha 1

Posted by Johannes Stein on Jul 19, 2010 in Applications, Development | 1 comment

So I finally decided to release FrostEd Alpha 1. If you don’t know what FrostEd is, click here for more information. Remember it is an alpha version, so there is a lot not working here, but I’m already using it productively for my job and some programming stuff where I don’t have to use and IDE.

So, here is a list what is working (because the list with the stuff what is not working would be much longer):

- Opening, editing and saving files
- Find, search replace (although that’s buggy)
- Mostly everything SynEdit supports that means code folding support Object Pascal, HTML and XML
- Full syntax highlighting support CSS, Diff, HTML, Java, Lua, LFM, Object Pascal, Perl, PHP, Processing (including the whole Processing API), Python, Shell, SQL, TeX, Visual Basic and XML
- Partial syntax highlighting support for ActionScript 2, ActionScript 3, C# and  HaXe

You need Lazarus to view or edit the source code. Install all components from /Third-Party. TMyRollout is licensed under GPL2 and has some small modifications made by me to use TBitBtn instead of TButton.

FrostEd – Cross-platform text editor

Posted by Johannes Stein on Jun 16, 2010 in Applications, Linux, Mac OS X, Windows | 2 comments

When I switched to Mac OS X something I was really missing was an easy-to-use and free advanced text editor, something like Notepad++ on Windows. I found Smultron and Fraise which are really great editors but lack some features regarding some syntax highlighters and code folding and I came across some annoying bugs when I’m trying to edit larger source code or text files.

What I’m looking for in a text editor (and I’m trying to implement those “features” to the best I can):

Currently I’m trying to decide on a license (MIT, MPL or GPL), but after that’s decided I will officially release it which will possibly be in a few days.

MobileBrowser Emulator released

Posted by Johannes Stein on Dec 22, 2009 in Applications, Development | 0 comments

A couple of years back former co-founder of Freeze.Dev, Bengt Beier, wrote a tool called Palm Browser-Emulator. To this day I’ve been getting a lot of e-mails with suggestions of how to improve this application and questions when a new version will be released.

And here it is:
MobileBrowser Emulator, the successor of PalmBrowser Emulator. It is a tool primarily intended for web developers for viewing what their web pages would look like on a mobile device such as Palm, Android devices, iPhone, etc. without needing to install a specific mobile device emulator or SDK.

Play The City

I would like to share with you guys what I’ve been doing the last few months and why I didn’t participate in a few competitions like Game Jolt Shocking Contest or Mini LD #10.

It all began two months back on May 20th in school when a few volunteers including me were introduced to the idea of a business game. The goal was to develop a business idea within eight weeks with a seed money of only five euros.
Our idea: An educational game about a city. We choose Augsburg (a nice city in Germany), it was an obvious choice, because we all (our team) are studying at the university of Augsburg.
And on top of all, we won this business game. *YEAH*
