Video introduction:

There are two aspects of the project - the runtime editor and a practice problem platform.

Editor features so far:
* Code completion.
* Compile time error overlay.
* Shows overload options
* Detailed customizable code highlighting(coloring)
* Can generate using statements for unrecognized types

The editor can potentially be useful as a debug helper that you put in dev builds that lets you manipulate and fix things from within the build, although I have not given that too much thought.

It can also be used as a game mechanic, or the core of an educational software, something like the three levels which exist in the project currently.

I wanted a runtime editor for a long time, since I believe coding can be very interesting if niche mechanic, so I made one. Also Lua, while it makes much more sense, is not something I want to explore for personal hangups about what a "real" programming language is.

Do you see usefulness for a tool like that, or promise in the educational game aspect?

Also I understand this will not build on all platforms, since it uses Roslyn dlls and runtime compilation, from someone with experience in this area, what can I hope to run this on?

 

At a minimum, it will not be able to run on these platforms due to runtime code compilation restrictions:

• iOS
• UWP
• WebGL
• Consoles (Playstation, Xbox, Switch, ...)

Not sure about Android and Android-based VR headsets (Quest).
