Suggestion (Notes)

It would be nice if a basic text editor could be implemented in Construct 2. For small games, i think its ideal to just quickly type some notes or outline a rough design doc when starting with a blank project file. It could be a fixed tab called "Notes" where the event tabs are. It can also guide beginners into doing good habits, by writing a plan before roughing game mechanics.

This can save having to have a separate text file, and make construct 2 a even better all around game making tool.

Personally, I'd really rather if time and effort were not wasted on implementing this rather than actual features, improvements and bug-fixes.

We already have the (much more flexible) option of using any text editor or even more sophisticated software for planning and note-taking rather than having an editor included in Construct 2.

As far as you have a text editor on your machine and you can comment etc in the code itself, I don?t think that this is an urgent topic.

I disagree. Don't get me wrong, yes they could spend time on doing whats on top of the priority list. That i am not trying to change, but this feature i think its a good idea down the road, and fits with making the development environment more feature complete.

This is an old request.

User will be suggested to create plugins if they want type some code.

Again, the event + plugin system is perfect for me and my team member. I made plugins, and my team member used them.

When I need an associated text file for notes. I import a .txt file into the files section. That way I have notes now locked into the project. Then I get the advantage of using which ever editor I want.

double win

Actually the Comment lines are quite robust for what they are.

To enter multiple lines in a Remark line, Shift Enter. Previous lines disappear temporarily, but show when you finish. If you open it again to edit, you can edit the whole multi-line passage.

I usually put my notes in my Global variable Event sheet, it's never that full. And always the same place when I look for them. But you could make your own event sheet.

I always have at least one "To Do" list, and 1 Error list.

I cut and paste old basic source code into them for reference when converting old games.

(my comments have been always been green, hard habit to break)

+1 It's not urgent but it'd still be a nice feature to have somewhere down the development road, especially for those without admin rights stuck having to use Notepad or something.
