Hello!

I'm learning both Lua and Python so I can learn Cocos2D. I've done programming in several languages and have always used either VS, ConTEXT, or Programmer's Notepad 2. I'm looking for IDEs that are easy to use and allow auto-complete. What suggestions do you have? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I use https://wingware.com/ for python.

I use PyCharm Community Edition for python.

I use notepad++ for lua.

I use Atom (developed by GitHub) for Lua development with Cocos2d-x. It's a great editor and comes with hundreds of packages. There're auto-completion, Lua highlighting and snippets, linter (syntax validation)... Here's a screenshot Lua code using the Monokai theme.

For Lua: I use both VS with Lua lang pack for writing it, because I already have VS open when writing my C++ code, and also use Tilde for writing/debugging it.

For lua there's decoda, a lua ide/debugger developed for natural seleeciton 2 and being open source now.

I like BabeLua inside Visual Studio, and Sublime Text for quick edits.

Spyder for Python (WinPython distribution is quite nice and has it bundled).

ZeroBrane lua IDE for lua (d'oh).
