ZeroBrane Studio is a lightweight Lua IDE with code completion, syntax highlighting, remote debugger, code analyzer, live coding, and debugging support for several Lua engines (LuaJIT, Löve 2D, Moai, Gideros, MobileLua, and others). It originated from the Estrela Editor.
- Written in Lua, so easily customizable.
- Small, portable, and cross-platform (Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux).
- Auto-completion for functions, keywords, and custom APIs.
- Interactive console to directly test code snippets with local and remote execution.
- Integrated debugger (with support for local and remote debugging).
- Live coding with Lua (demo), Löve 2D (demo), and Gideros (demo).
- Support for plugin-like components:
- applications: overall control of applications settings;
- specs (spec/): file syntax, lexer, keywords (e.g. glsl);
- apis (api/): for code-completion and tool-tips;
- interpreters (interpreters/): how a project is run;
- config (cfg/): contains style and basic editor settings;
- tools (tools/): additional tools (e.g. DirectX/Cg shader compiler...).
