Overview

This is a simple script editing app for Kotlin. It is written in C++ and Qt. It uses kotlinc, the Kotlin command-line compiler, to run the scripts.

Showcase

Here is a YouTube video showcasing the app's features https://youtu.be/372DdW9mgQY?si=68zVQvOeze4b9gHe (slightly long but it is timestamped). The same preview, embedded here:

Requirements

Windows

Kotlinc MUST be added to PATH. The winget package will not work. It creates a symlink of sorts, but it does not add kotlinc to PATH. Manual installation is recommended.

A Windows release is provided as a zip file which should work. If it fails to work:

1. Clone this repository.
2. Make sure your Qt version is 6.4.X or higher (tested on 6.6.1).
3. Open it using Qt Creator (it specifically wants the CMakeLists.txt file).
4. Build & Run.
5. (optional) To create the package, build in Release mode and run windeployqt "path/to/exe/folder" (windeployqt is located in the Qt BIN folder).

MacOS & Linux

Linux and MacOS are currently not supported. This is a limitation caused by the way processes are handled. This will be fixed in the future.

Goals

I wish to further develop this project and as of now my next milestones are (in order of priority):

• Compatibility for Linux. Currently limited by the way processes are executed. Should be an easy fix.
• Compatibility for MacOS. Currently limited by the way processes are executed.
• Support file saving/loading. Have the current temp file as the default option, not the only option.
• Batch process exectuion. Should be achievable with threads.
• Better syntax highlighting.
• Code suggestions.
