I've been developing a little tool for making it easier to develop PyWright games. Originally I was planning to post it here in a more complete state, but real-life stuff prevented me from working on it lately, and I got a lil too impatient with showing it to you guys. The available featureset should be enough for you to work on cases though.
Current features include:
- A tabbed text editor, that can colorize PyWright scripts
- Dialogs to make case/game creation as user friendly as possible
- Ability to run PyWright from the selected folder
- Browsing the available textures/music/SFX and the ability to play the latter two within the IDE
Known bugs:
- When you run the IDE in certain ways (like from Windows Search), none of the icons will show up at all. The program will be functional otherwise.
Other things of interest:
- If you press a button and nothing happens, it probably means that the functionality isn't implemented yet.
- I've been made aware that Norton Antivirus thinks that the app is doing suspicious activities. My guess is on this being due to the ide being able to run PyWright within itself, but rest assured, it is a false positive. Feel free to check the source code out (and optionally generate a Windows executable from it by yourself) if you're still having any doubts!
Source code is available on GitHub, it is written in Python with PyQt5 and QScintilla: https://github.com/LupertEverett/pywrightide
Some screenshots:
Windows builds can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/LupertEverett/pywrightide/releases/tag/prerelease-23.03.16
(Last updated: 16/03/2023)
- IDE is now using pygame.mixer, thus eliminating the "playing the short sounds twice" bug, as well as requiring an external program on Windows!
Special thanks go to BirbIsTheWord for his extensive testing and support. Without his help, this program wouldn't be as usable as it is right now. :)
Hope you guys enjoy it!

That is actually a really cool idea, since PyWright is a little complicated and outdated, so making it more advanced and user-friendly is cool as hrck. I am excited to see this in a more complete state(and with a tutorial too, if you can)
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Tbh never considered a tutorial myself, but having one once things get more complete is a pretty good idea!

There's been significant development with PWlib as well recently. i believe they've started to create more of a GUI.
Never heard of that one, so I cannot say much. However, I do this project mainly to help my friend BirbIsTheWord, and as a curiosity/for the fun of it, and if it gets traction and/or people provide some help to improve it/make it work for other case making engines, that's cool! Other way around? Still cool!
That being said, I finally worked on it a bit more! Now one can browse and add sfx using the asset manager! The link in the first post contains the updated version. Enjoy!

The only things I'd add are the ability to play sound effects, because I frequently get those mixed up (though I imagine an audio player might be tricky to implement) and the ability to find/replace certain words. Still, it's fantastic as is and I'm so glad to have it.

I have just downloaded this after having almost completed an entire case using nothing but text files and I must say that this program is a lifesaver. No more will I have to constantly go through folders to find the exact scenes I'm looking for and then switch between a dozen notepad files! Thank you so much for making this! I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate it.

I am so glad to hear that haha! Happy that the IDE is useful for ya!
As for your suggestion, I just put a new version of the IDE on Github that implements the functionality you asked for! It is a bit buggy when the sound you're trying to play is extremely short, you just have to "play" such sounds twice.
https://github.com/LupertEverett/pywrightide/releases/download/prerelease/PyWrightIDE-Windows-23.03.06.7z
EDIT: If you don't hear any sounds playing (and you're using Windows), you might also need to install the DirectShow filters for Ogg Vorbis for the sound playing feature: https://www.xiph.org/dshow/ (Click the link that's next to "Windows 32/64-bit Installer:")

I've just downloaded the new version, but I can't figure out how to do the find/replace thing. The sound system is great though!
I haven't implemented a find/replace dialog yet haha.
It is planned though! (Might take a while)Also glad to hear you like the sound system!

Oh okay, no problem. Yeah that'd be super useful, as I will sometimes rename something and then have to manually go through and replace all the instances with something else. The sound system doesn't work at all for me for some reason. Ah well.

Had updated the sound system to use pygame.mixer instead. Could you try this build out? It also fixed the "having to play short sounds twice" on my end.

It works great for me now! Sorry for the delay, I kept forgetting to download it. ADHD brain. This tool has saved me SO much time.
I'm the dev of Truth and Consequences btw (there's a thread on the game here), so you're welcome to see what your work has spawned in about a month when I can finally release the first case!
But yeah, find/replace is literally the only other thing that'd make this perfect, and I can technically do that with the text files. I can't believe I used the text files to make almost an entire case; now I don't use anything other than this!

Its alright lol! Glad to hear it is working now!
And I would like to check it out! I hope work doesn't prevent me from doing so :V
For the Find/Replace dialog, I have done some initial work for it, so far it can find the next and previous occurrences of the word you're searching, on the current tab you have open.
(Interface and features are subject to change, also took the screenshot on Linux cuz why not :V)
