Visual editor for CGFunge

Visual CGFunge

Visual editor and batch runner for CGFunge Prime optimization game at CodinGame.

Dependencies

• Python3
• Pygame (for the visuals)
• win32clipboard from pywin32 (to manage copy/pasting)

pip install pygame
pip install pywin32

In this current version, it may only be supported for windows (not tested in other operating systems).

Usage

Execute "visual_table.py", either from python idle or cmd.

Edit your code cell by cell or paste a raw text directly.

Run your code to find out which cells are visited by any validator or which validators fail (hover dark cells to review the cause of each failed validator).

Copy the resulting code to export it (paste it in a text file). Changes are not saved after exiting the program, to recover a previous session, copy again the resulting code and paste it again in the program.

See more details about how to use the program in the section below.

Controls

Mouse

• Drag window border: resize screen.
• Click: select grid cell.
• Shift+click/drag mouse: multiple cell selection.
• Hover cell: display extra information (character unicode, failed validators).
• Scroll: displaces tooltip information while hovering a cell, if there are more lines.

Buttons

• Ctrl+Shift+V: pastes the clipboard content with the origin as reference (top-left corner).
• Ctrl+Backspace: Clears all grid.
• Ctrl+Enter: runs simulation (as with "Run" button).
