Hello, I am working on a project, which is a template that improves the capability of VEXCode and gives it the same power as PROS in functionality, but that means I am stretching VEXCode to its limits with the IDE and compiler as a whole. Some things with VEXCode, after stretching it nearly to its…

[image] anon4126930: It’s infuriating that you cannot have multiple VEXCode IDE’s open at the same time. It really makes multitasking difficult because I’d not have to physically upload my code to a different IDE like VSCode to move code from my project to a different project. You can do this…

I have never learned to use PROS and only use VEXcode “Pro”(I probably should learn PROS) and you are 100% right for 5 and 6 even when not pushing the limits. There are so many cases where you want to open files or different project with out having to push the limits. Just something I would want to …

[image] OscarMNOVA12: You can do this. You just have to go to File > New Window. I have multiple VEXCode instances all the time. Oh shoot, thank you! I’m trying to see if I also missed some important things, and that’s one of them. Thank you, that helps a lot

[image] seenSeal: You can’t have multiple projects in one window(can you?). I am a lazy programer and don’t want to switch from one screen to another. It would be useful to have more than one project open, which is even nicer if you want to copy something from one project to another. Because I f…

the only issue I see Is with okapi at the moment you can send 140 voltage to the chassis motors compared to vex automatically limiting it at 127

[image] anon4126930: Opening files in VEXCode is literally pain. Sometimes I want two tabs for like two .cpp files opened so I can switch between the two quickly. But usually whenever I open a new .cpp file, the previously focused .cpp file closes, which is ANNOYING You can get multiple tabs …

[image] anon4126930: (I know it’s possible to store regular reference variables in vectors, but I can’t find any way to do it with motors) I don’t know how you are storing references in vectors because, if you think about it, a pointer to a reference doesn’t make any sense . You can make a pr…

Some additional thought: It would be really cool if there’s any information to use the vexcode compiler separately so I can code in visual studio instead, for instance. :slight_smile: May have the capability to be competitive with PROS
