Mod Edit: note: This doesn't actually create mods, you still have to learn how to compile tpt and do a bunch of other stuff. There are compiling guides in the wiki



Hello ladies and gentlemen.
I have developed an application that will allow new modders to get used to coding TPT much easier and will help experienced modders make their work easier. 
The application lets you enter all of the values needed to create an element. All the user has to do is enter the element ID after the file is created. Now optimised with code snippets!

Requirements:
Windows OS (or Linux/Mac but you'll need an extra program)
Microsoft .NET framework 4.0 (or Mono)

Features:

• Easy-to-use organised interface with 4 tabs for easy access to each section.
• Explained element definitions with examples.
• Code frame generators with code snippets and loops.
• Generates the element file with the click of a button, no need to search through the wiki for instructions anymore.
• Free to use!

How to use:
Windows

1. Download the archive, and unpack it.
2. Run the .exe and fill out the element data
3. Click "Generate File" and you're done.

Linux/Mac

1. Download the archive and unpack it.
2. Install Mono using your package manager or software center
3. Write "mono Powder_Toy_Modding_Tool.exe" in a terminal.
4. Fill out the element data, click "Generate File" and you're done.

 Thanks. Any suggestions? I was thinking of maybe adding a background image...

Also, a version for Linux is on its way.

 I created it to help the creation process, not to replace Visual Studio. And it's much easier for a new modder to understand the code in this way, especially the tooltips with descriptions.

 

Use Mono if you want to run this on Linux or Mac.

 I approve of that and thanks for the screenshots. :D

 Thanks :3

 

I updated it (latest version is Beta v3) to include code snippets in the Code and Graphics tabs and I added some drop-down lists to make coding easier.
