Using external programs to code

There are two things we need to look at when deciding what programs to use to help us write UnrealScript code. The first, obviously, would be something we can use to write the code itself. Script files can be opened and written in a plain text editor like Notepad if we prefer, but there are free programs out there we can use to make our lives easier.

ConTEXT

ConTEXT is a freeware text editor designed to make working with various programming languages easier. It has text highlighting to make reading code quicker, and tools to make compiling code as easy as pressing a button. Let's install it so we can use it in our project.
