A lot of people complained about the RobotSee IDE. Basically, the editor was terrible. So, for the last few months I have been spending a couple hours here and there re-writing the IDE from scratch. The new IDE is very different from the old ( for one the editor actually works ).

1) I am using a open source editor class called Scintilla. This class has been ported to Win32, Linux, and Mac osx. This will make the IDE

much easier to port to these other platforms.

2) The Scintilla class was designed for lexical editors, so it works much better then the RTF class from Microsoft I was using for the original editor.

3) The Debugger is the same, but now runs as a completely seperate process, so you can close the debugger, without the editor closing.

4) I added a RUN button in the IDE. This let's you run a see program directly from the IDE in a seperate process. One click execution.

5) The new IDE is written entirely in C++, as opposed to Visual C++ .net.

See attached screenshot, I will release by the DWF class this week.

In the presentation, I added slides to discuss how to use the IDE.
