What IDE does wick use

@Luxapodular and others who can help.
hello im trying to make my own software and i just wanted to which IDE (for example visual studio) does wick use

Wick Editor is the Wick IDE; it’s custom-made for Wick. Hopefully that makes sense, feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

So its not publicly aviable right?

wick is open source so that means the wick editor ide is publicly avaliable (i think that’s what you mean)

if you’re talking about the script editor, i’m pretty sure they use someone else’s since I’ve seen script editors that look just like Wick’s. I don’t know what it is, though.

I did some researching and I found out Wick Editor uses Ace for its script editor.

When you go to editor.wickeditor.com and make something in Wick, you’re using the Wick Editor which can also be thought of as the Wick IDE. It’s the IDE for making projects in Wick.

If you meant what IDE is used to create the Wick Editor (the IDE used to write the JavaScript that becomes the Wick Editor), it doesn’t really matter; the important thing is the command line tool: npm or yarn, which both work with most IDEs.

As far as IDEs, I’ve used Geany for the bit of contributing I’ve done, but it looks like VSCode is also a common choice. As long as the IDE/text editor is capable of editing text, and you have access to a terminal/command line, anything should work. I would probably recommend VSCode as it’s pretty widely used and has support for a lot of different tools and languages.

Apologies if any of that is unclear, my technical writing could use improvement. Again, let me know if you have any questions.

For our text editor, Wick uses the Ace Editor (check out react-ace on Github for more info!) https://github.com/securingsincity/react-ace
