My wish for next realise;

make "script write easyer....

* copy paste is not possible jet.
* insert is not possible jet.
* Yellow text on On gray background... can not be read easily

and finally

* a script selecton by pull down menu - wow that would be grat!

And you can't really go back easily.

I did a bit of research on that one since we'd like to have this at Widelands too. Unless you are using a toolkit that provides this function, this is actually not easy to implement. You will need special code for each operating system in order to access their clipboards.

Eek, I agree that should be fixed.

I don't think that I've seen pull-down menus in ST yet, but a pop-up menu should be theoretically doable if somebody finds the time. It's a good idea.

Here's another type of code, blockly. You can snap the blocks together to form a script. Might be easier for users new to scripting.

( Check out scratch.mit.edu if you want to try blockly. )

This is a great idea and something that I have been thinking about as well.

Can any of you guys learn C++ and help me with this? I have other things on my plate for SuperTux.

Not sure if both projects use SDL2, but SDL2 have these functions:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

SDL_GetClipboardText
SDL_HasClipboardText
SDL_SetClipboardText


which does clipboard copy/paste on a cross-platform way. Worth check them out.

Thanks for the hint, we do use SDL2. *bookmarked*

"Can any of you guys learn C++ and help me with this?"

Yes, because we are going to spend loads of hours learning a programming language just to implement this feature.

As for the actual idea, it may work quite well. But there should also still be a plain text option.

Well, once you're learned it, you might surprise yourself and enjoy implementing other wanted features / fixing annoyances.

I believe learning C++ takes less time than your numerous complaints over the last couple years.
