GDScript mode for Emacs

This package adds support for the GDScript programming language from the Godot game engine in Emacs. It gives syntax highlighting and indentations.

This is currently a work in progress, and my first time creating an Emacs package. Feedback, tips, and contributions are more than welcome!

How to install

As it is in development, the package is not available yet on Emacs package managers.

To install it:

1. Clone the repository to your computer.
2. In your init.el file, add a call to load and require the package.

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/gdscript-mode.el")
(require 'gdscript-mode)

Installing in Spacemacs

1. Clone the repository to the private/local subdirectory of your .emacs.d directory, where you installed spacemacs.
2. Add the package to the dotspacemacs-additional-packages and mark is as local. That's Spacemacs' feature to make it easy to load locally installed packages.

dotspacemacs-additional-packages '((gdscript-mode :location local))

1. In your user-config function, require the package.

(defun dotspacemacs/user-config ()
  (require 'gdscript-mode))

Available features

• Syntax highlighting for all built-in functions and classes in Godot 3.2
• Indentation
• Imenu to jump to functions quickly

Planned features

1. Fixing the support for indentations.
2. Functions to open the project in Godot.

For auto-competition, we should rely on the GDScript language server coming in Godot 3.2. Another developer is working on it.

Customization

Set the following variables to customize gdscript-mode:

(setq gdscript-tabs-mode t) ;; If true, use tabs for indents. Default: t
(setq gdscript-tab-width 4) ;; Controls the width of tab-based indents

Credits

This is based on:

1. The gdscript-mode package that is not in active development anymore.
2. Python support from Emacs 27. GDScript took inspiration from Python so a lot of the Python package works well for it.
