Notepad Py

Notepad Py is a source code editor for the Python language. Its minimalist interface allows you to perform basic text editing operations faster and easier, making it suitable for editing small scripts and/or for users learning the language.

Introduction

This project was made as a complement of my studies in Delphi and Python languages. Creating a delphi source code editor allowed me to exercise concepts of using VCL, using programming logic in developing functionalities such as Find and Replace, and explore and understand third-party components using SynEdit. Because this project also involves my first contact with the Pyhton language, some sample scripts (edited in Notepad Py) were included in the release. There are 2 simple scripts that implement some geometric calculations, a prime numbers generator, which is actually a translation of a classic example of the Pascal language, and an implementation of the Tic-tac-toe game.

Prerequisites

Notepad Py does not require installation, just open the executable file. However, for the Run commands to work correctly, you must have the Python interpreter installed and configured on the machine, that is, if the 'py' command can run on the Windows terminal, the Run features on Notepad Py will also work correctly.

Program Help

This project also has a Wiki with help for the main features of the program. You can access this wiki in Notepad Py via the 'Ctrl+F1' shortcut. You can also access the official Python documentation via the 'F1' shortcut.

Included scripts

Pyramid Calculator

Script that performs some geometric calculations for a rectangular base pyramid. This script uses the object-oriented programming paradigm. The calculations are:

• Height
• Base area
• Surface area
• Base length
• Base Width
• Lateral surface
• Volume

Square pyramidal number

This script determines whether an N number entered by the user is a square pyramidal number. That is, if with this n number it is possible to form a quadrangular pyramid. This script uses a procedural programming paradigm.

Prime numbers generator

Script that generates all prime numbers between 0 and 100

Tic-tac-toe

Implementation of the classic game. It features 1 and 2 players modes. In 1-player mode, the script does not implement any intelligence and machine moves are made randomly. In 2-players mode, the moves are done in turns, allowing two people to switch data entry.
