phi-editor
Phi is a minimal text editor designed to look pretty, run fast, and be easy to configure and use. It's primary function is for editing code.Note that this is a work in progress and is very buggy! The editor is written as if it's a game, so it will probably eat up your battery, as well as run possibly quite slow - especially if you dont have a dedicated GPU - and probably crash frequently.
Do not edit your precious files with this editor!
Here's a screenshot of the editor:
goals
The editor must:
- run fast;
- load and edit large files with ease;
- look pretty; and finally
- be easy to use
building
You'll need Go with the GOPATH, GOBIN, etc. setup, as well as SDL2, SDL2_image, and SDL2_ttf. Here's an example for Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev
$ go get github.com/felixangell/phi-editor
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/felixangell/phi-editor
$ go build
$ ./phi-editor
If you're on macOS, you can get these dependencies via. homebrew. If you're on windows; you have my condolences.
