Description
RogueScript is a proposed interpreted language with C style syntax. It should be noted that this language is not intended to be used in development of an engine, but as a means to control roguelike objects within a user-made game world (created with a game creation system).
Features
- C style syntax
- table type (but no array type)
- first class functions
- closures
- dynamic typing with javascript style coercion for '==' operator
- basic types (such as bool, null, float, int, string, thing_ref, closure, function_ref)
- thing reference for passing around handles on game world objects
- extensive library of API functions
- reasonable speed
Hello World program
(Note: there is no main function. Several function names are associated with events. The 'begin' event occurs at the start of the game. It gets called only once.)
event begin() { lib::notation("Hello World!"); }
