Scripty:

An Open-Source IDE for ChromeOS by Jaden Arceneaux. This project was created due to a distinct lack of good IDEs for ChromeOS. The goal of Scripty is to supplement this problem. Scripty takes advantage of the built-in Linux sandbox in Chrome Books to provide the best coding experience on ChromeOS.

Requirements:

• Python3
• Tkinter (will automatically install on run)
• OS (built in Python module)
• JSON (built in Python module)
• Sys (built in Python module)
• Time (built in Python module)
• Threading (built in Python module)
• Linux (not tested for Windows or macOS)
• Java
• C++

Usage:

cd Scripty
python3 Scripty.py
or
python3 Scripty.py [Your File]

This will then bring up a window for you to select a file

Projects you create will be stored in the /Projects/ directory

These projects will be gitignored by default

Tips:

Keyboard Shortcuts:

• Compile and Execute Code:

Ctrl - r

• Save Code:

Ctrl - s

Installing Dependencies:

Scripty will automatically install Tkinter but will not install Java or C++

Easy Running:

Change directories into your root directory

$ cd ~

Start editing your .bashrc file

$ nano .bashrc

Scroll to the bottom and add an alias for python3 scripty.py

alias scripty="python3 Scripty.py"

Now you can just say Scripty [your file] instead of the full command

$ Scripty [your file]
