Adventure (full name: Adventure IDE, formerly called AutoGUI) was originally an IDE designed specifically for AutoHotkey that combines a script editor with a GUI designer, debugger and tools. It is as easy to use as Notepad, and it is both an editor and a structure library, function library, and script library. Once you become proficient, your original development efficiency can be greatly improved.

Adventure started as a GUI designer for AutoHotkey scripts. Later, after enhancing the code editor with various features and the implementation of a debugger, it evolved into one general-purpose IDE and lightweight but advanced text editor, which supports line and text markup, smart syntax highlighting, advanced search, multiple programming languages, auto-completion, and more.

However, since Adventure has expanded its scope to become a comprehensive IDE, it is no longer limited to a specific programming language and can cater to the requirements of programmers across different environments and scenarios. Additionally, it can be customized to suit specific needs.

System Requirements

  • There is no special requirements to run Adventure. AutoHotkey is recommended (not required) because most of the tools included with Adventure were specifically designed for it. If you prefer to run Adventure from the script, the minimum required version of AHK is 1.1.29 (uses OnError).
