Edinburgh, Scotland based Runtime Revolution and Austin, Texas based Daniels & Mara are pleased to announce the release of Galaxy Studio, the high productivity complete scripting IDE for Revolution. Galaxy Studio is a complete replacement for the IDE and designed to maximize screen real estate (especially helpful if you develop on a laptop). Here are some of the features you get with Galaxy Studio:
* Galaxy Scripts. A tabbed script editor that supports up to ten open editors in a single window. Galaxy Scripts also lets you do live searches on scripts while you script.
* Awesome Auto-complete and Comments. Autocomplete support for any method or handler lets you script faster with fewer errors. Have all of your comments appear in a neatly organized column to the right of your code.
* Reference and Lookup System. Right click on term an automatically call up a definition. Right-click on the name of any handler in the script editor to automatically call it up.
* Galaxy Toolbar and other Space Saving Tools. A space sensitive toolbar that saves screen real estate - perfect for working on a laptop. Intelligent Tools palette shrinks when there are no editable stacks open. A new dock at the top of your screen takes up significantly less space.
* Visual Preferences. Set the font size and type as well as the color scheme for all Galaxy windows. Under MacOS X, you can also hide both the Mac menu bar and dock.
* Galaxy Debuging and Tracing. Galaxy Debugger. Galaxy Debugger is an entirely new debugger that lives outside of your running project, letting you more easily step through and trace issues in your code. Available in Galaxy Lite or higher. All your array elements appear in the Galaxy Variable Watcher as local, visual folders.
* Galaxy IDE Component Framework. Component framework allows any third party vendor of Revolution tools make their tool recognized by Galaxy. This feature is only available in Galaxy Studio or higher.
“Galaxy’s modern, streamlined IDE components help make short work of creating even complex applications and really allow the powerful Revolution engine to shine,” said user Troy Rollins, RPSystems, Ltd.
