Installing a Text Editor
We recommend using the Atom text editor. A LiveCode package is available which provides some colorization as well as indentation.
If you are on Mac and prefer to use TextWrangler, there is a colorising script here. It should be placed in /Application Support/TextWrangler/Language Modules/.
Note: Since this course was written TextWrangler has become unavailable. The colorization script can be used with BBEdit.
Installing the Atom LiveCode Language Pack
To install the LiveCode Language Pack in Atom
- Open the Settings from the File menu
