1) It isn't done in "eclipse"
2) If you value your sanity, keep away from euphoria.

But I can use something like javascript and will be able to create the same things as what you can do in Euphoria?
He uses Euphoria. Not a very popular language.

Euphoria will make you cooler

JavaScript is more like scripting language. You can't make bots with it.

What is a good alternative to Euphoria?

C++/C#?

That would probably harder to use, though.

Get yourself a copy of Microsoft Visual Studios and learn C# or VB.Net

If you are just starting out this is a great starting point for learning how to code. The error handling and support is unmatched. It has full socket support and has very good threading support as well.

If you need help with this shoot me a PM and I would be glad to point you to some good beginner projects and tutorials.

Botmaker has to type thousands of lines of codes dirtier than your mom in order to get his win32 functionalities such as winsocks and windows.

If you want to be way better off, in my mind, you have two options:
1) Java, simply because of the existing rotmg proxy hacks written in java. I tend to stay away from java since in my opinion its clunky as all hell from the IDE, to its slow runtime.

2) C#/C++. Stay the hell away from visual basic unless you want to relearn everything syntax wise when wanting to code in ANYTHING else.
C#/C++ .NET provides the asynchronous socket model which is a 1000x better then everything else while being a bit more complex for the initial set up.
Dont even worry about that for now though, you need to learn to code in the language itself.

Being the sole VB user around here I think this is very good advice. I learned it because I have the opportunity to use it at my job on a frequent basis.

Coming off of VB.Net to C# or Java you realize that VB Syntax is quite different and it's difficult to make the switch. C# is the way to go if you are a Visual Studios user
