I am hoping that some feature will be available for Byond where you can easily hit a print button and it will format + print your code in the proper coloring (or black and white if selected) out of your printer. I have seen other languages have this feature, and think that it would be very useful to developers for reading through complicated topics. Having a copy of it that you can mark up with a pencil and paper, easily accessible, would be very nice. I really would like to see this become a feature, and hope that it is supported by others.

As a temporary solution, you can copy it to notepad++, and save it as a .c, so it gets c syntax highlighting (which is close for what you want, I can imagine).

I think this also would be great when I don't have access to a computer but want to work on my current project, with the current source, by hand.

I do most of my code producing via paper and pen because I cannot afford a netbook/laptop for when I'm mobile and I would hate to have to write down all that I've programmed. DivineTraveller's alternative is nice and all but you would have to get Notepad++ in the first place, then copy+paste the code, then save/print. | |

Great way to review your code while having no access to a computer. When I was more into programming, I used to print the code for whatever my current hobby project was to review on the train. Unfortunately this is of less benefit to me as I will probably never get a proper printer with color support ;).

Well, I'm all for this, someone should go spam lummox's blog about this :P
| |
I'd really like to see this implemented. It would be especially good when I want to work on a program, but can't actually bring a computer to places.
I would like to know if Tom or Lummox Jr have any commentary on this. Would it even be that hard to do? | |
open the *.dm in notepad++ add the custom coloring to it. Once you create the coloring once, it's as simple as opening the file in notepad++ and printing

Software code is extremely rarely useful in printed format. | |
I would second this.
