What text editor you use for game source?

[duwen123 29]

Hello!  

I am curious to find out what text editor or IDE do you guys use for editing game source? I know that for the binary source you can use Visual Studio, with which you build it after all.

But is Notepad++ the only way to only edit the game source?  I don't mind compiling the source using the console. I just find it very difficult to edit the game source only using Notepad++.

I can confirm your statement about VS Code. I used it a lot for different projects.

So, if I got it right, I can just drag & drop my server source into VS code and the intellisense would work just fine (auto-completion, parameters info. for methods and so on) ?

Yep.

Sublime Text 3, Visual Studio Code or Atom is not bad too.

So you just drag the folder with the source into one of those editors? And the intellisense works? For eg. parameter info in methods.

Most of the mentioned editors have drag & drop option, it's almost standard today. I'm editing server source, python, lua in Notepad++ and client source in normal Visual Studio. You don't need something else. You only should take care about encoding of files and that's all, what you need.

Visual Studio Code it's life savior for everything. You can code 10 times faster than notepad++. Finding game functions is a lot easier. You can find anything you want in a matter of a second. Visual studio is good too, but i don't like the interface. My screen is too big and i find visual studio code better.
