Abstract

The algorithm animation language AnimalScript, while highly expressive and versatile, is not easy to edit with no editor support. We have developed an Eclipse plugin for editing AnimalScript that includes a text editor, outline, and code assist. We expect that this plugin will make the editing process much easier and faster. The paper presents both technical aspects of the development and the resulting plugin.
