Zilch Editor

Zilch Editor is a powerful scratch editor writed in C++. In plan, Zilch Editor will be an editor that can make any program by installing and using different plugins. The scratch2/scratch3 project can run under original scratch2 plugin or original scratch3 plugin. If you do your project only with anyone of these two plugins, you can export the project as scratch2/scratch3 type. Otherwise, the project in Zilch Editor cannot be opened in scratch2/scratch3.

To build this project, you need Qt5 library. It's better to use Qt 5.10 or higher to build this project.

You also need a C++ compiler that supports C++17 and C11.

Build the project with cmake. If your cmake cannot find Qt library, you need to set environment variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to your Qt cmake root path. For example D:\Program\Qt\5.12.1\msvc2017_64\lib\cmake.

The generator is your compiler version. For example Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "{generator}" .. #use cmake --help to get a complete list of generators

On windows, to run this program, you need to copy Qt5Core.dll, Qt5Gui.dll and Qt5Widgets.dll from Qt to the program's working directory.
