About

SublimeText.BlitzMax is a Sublime Text language definition that provides syntax highlighting, build systems and code snippets for the BlitzMax programming language.

Installation

This package has been submitted to the Package Control index and you can install it via the Command Palette (CTRL + Shift + P), typing install and selecting Package Control: Install Package. In the subsequent popup text box type blitzmax and pick the BlitzMax package.

If you do not use Package Control, download a zip or tar.gz archive of the latest release, extract the archive, rename the directory to BlitzMax and simply drop this directory into your Sublime Text Packages directory.

NOTES

Syntax Highlighting Limitations

In an effort to ensure that custom BlitzMax types can be highlighted correctly an assumption has been made that type names match the following regex [T][A-Z]\\w*. For example: TMyType, TAABB not Tmytype, MyType or mytype, etc.

This format is already widely used by BlitzMax developers, and is pretty much the standard in the existing BlitzMax code base.

Systems

In order for the build systems to work the BlitzMax/bin directory needs to be in your system path.

There are 4 build systems included with this plugin:

BlitzMax - Build and Run Console
BlitzMax - Build and Run GUI
BlitzMax - Build Console
BlitzMax - Build GUI

Again, certain assumptions have been made with the build systems to support building with both Sublime Projects and individual BlitzMax source files:

If you don't have a project open, then the build system will attempt to build the file currently being edited.
If you have a project open, the build system will attempt to build a BlitzMax source file with the same name as the project in the root directory. This means you don't have to keep reselecting the main entry point source file before building. For example if you're editing file PROJECT_ROOT/Include/MySourceFile.bmx and your project file is called MyNewGame.sublime-project then the build system will attempt to build PROJECT_ROOT/MyNewGame.bmx rather than the currently edited file.

Bug Reports and Feature Requests
