mIDE

mIDE is a Windows desktop IDE for writing C-like source code and compiling it into MLOG (Mindustry Logic) programs. It is designed as a nearly feature-complete C-to-MLOG compiler with a custom editor, compiler pipeline, linting, optimization, and debugging integration.

Features

• C-to-MLOG compilation pipeline
• Split-pane editor layout with source and generated output
• Dark mode UI and custom window chrome
• Compiler optimization controls
• Conditional and loop control flow
• Linting and warnings support
• Debug connection to a Mindustry daemon or local server
• Example C source for compiler stress testing
• C-like scalar types, qualifiers, constants, and boolean literals

Project structure

• mIDE/ — main application source code, editor UI, compiler logic, and resources
• mIDE.slnx — Visual Studio solution file
• LICENSE — repository license
• mIDE/CompilerSample.c — sample program demonstrating supported constructs

Building

From source

mIDE is a Windows desktop application and is built using Win32 APIs and Visual Studio project files.

1. Open mIDE.slnx in Visual Studio 2022, or open mIDE/mIDE.vcxproj directly.
2. Restore/build the solution in Debug or Release mode.
3. Run the generated mIDE.exe.

Quick download

For users who want a ready-to-run executable without building from source, nightly builds are available at:

https://nightly.link/Abdullah-Ajeebi/mIDE/workflows/msbuild/main

Download the latest artifact and extract mIDE.exe to run directly.

Usage

• Write or open a C source file in the editor.
• Compile it from the application menu to generate MLOG output.
• Review the generated output in the compiled panel.
• Configure debugging and compiler options in the settings dialog.
• Use mIDE/CompilerSample.c as a reference example for supported constructs.
• See PLANS.md for supported and deferred C keywords.

Notes

This repository is focused on the Windows IDE and compiler experience, and it is primarily intended for use with Mindustry scripting workflows. The compiler targets a restricted subset of C that maps well to MLOG; it is not a general-purpose C compiler.
