An Open-Source IDE for ChromeOS by Jaden Arceneaux. This project was created due to a distinct lack of good IDEs for ChromeOS. The goal of Scripty is to supplement this problem. Scripty takes advantage of the built-in Linux sandbox in Chrome Books to provide the best coding experience on ChromeOS.
- Python3
- Tkinter (will automatically install on run)
- OS (built in Python module)
- JSON (built in Python module)
- Sys (built in Python module)
- Time (built in Python module)
- Threading (built in Python module)
- Linux (not tested for Windows or macOS)
- Java
- C
cd Scripty
python3 Scripty.py
or
python3 Scripty.py [Your File]
This will then bring up a window for you to select a file
Projects you create will be stored in the /Projects/ directory
These projects will be gitignored by default
- Compile and Execute Code:
Ctrl - r
- Save Code:
Ctrl - s
Scripty will automatically install Tkinter but will not install Java or C
Change directories into your root directory
$ cd ~
Start editing your .bashrc file
$ nano .bashrc
Scroll to the bottom and add an alias for python3 scripty.py
alias scripty="python3 Scripty.py"
Now you can just say Scripty [your file] instead of the full command
$ Scripty [your file]
