Mudlet uses modern C++17 for the core functionality of the application.
For programming newbies
- C++ - covers everything C++ basics to advanced.
- C++ Discord - great community for help with C++.
- Qt Discord - also a great community, this time for coding in Qt.
For experienced programmers
- Pointers - the core basics of C++. While you can by without needing to know the details, you'll find it really, really useful if you do.
- C++11 - know how to make your life easier with modern C++11.
- C++11 Guide - fantastic guide on everything C++.
- emoji breakdown - everything to know about emojis, is useful to know when working with Mudlet's internal text editing classes.
Helpful tools
- Source Trail - get quick overview of an unfamiliar codebase (like Mudlet, if you're just joining here)
- draw.io - Draw and share diagrams online
- http://www.rexex101.com/ - test and explain your regular expressions online
- http://www.rexegg.com/regex-quickstart.html - a good little cheat sheet for regex
Support tools
- https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/ - for all OS, so users can show their problems with ease
- https://color-hex.org/ - Catalogue of colors in different styles, shades, gradients, etc. Very useful for UI design, etc.

Random tips and tricks
Determine what auto resolves to with:
template <typename T> struct watzattype;
void TriggerUnit::doCleanup()
{
for(auto & trigger : mCleanupList)
{
watzattype<decltype(trigger)>{};
Compiler will error and tell you the type, TTrigger*& in this example.
