Hi all, I'm writting a compiler and VM for fun, here is the first release, it has quite a few scripts you can play with I would really appreciate it if anyone could try it out and report any bugs or improvments etc. in this thread. the language is a similar dialect to Visual Basic except without the object orientation. UPDATE: 1.3.2 [download R1.3.2] Side Notes: I havn't had time to document it much, so please use Tide and browse the Scripts and Scripts/Simple Scripts Directories Also, Read the CONTENTS.TXT file in each folder for a description of the directory and some tips etc. Current Language Feature List: * Arrays (1D), Arrays as Arguments, Arrays as Return Types * Automatic Type Conversion (Float->Int vice versa) * External Library Support for DLL's * String Support with DLL Library * Math library with around 35 functions (Trig,Hyp,Arc,Log etc.) * Very Simple OpenGL library (for fun) * File I/O Library * Simple Timer based Profiler Library * Syntax Highlighting Text Editor (Tide.exe) Current Language Keyword List: * For, Next, To * While * If, ElseIf, Else * And * Function * Sub * Declare * Typeless Const * Dim, ReDim * GoTo Unsupported Language Keyword List: * Not, Or * Wend, Do, Until * Select, Case * Is * Type * With, End With * Exit Any Questions, Post Here. Cheers, Danu [Edited by - silvermace on September 14, 2004 1:36:19 AM]

anyone had a look?
im going to put the Source code under LGPL or something a bit
more liberal than GPL

I looked through some of the source files. It looks well designed and easy to use. You have also included a great number of string and math functions in your libraries.

Some more documentation would be really night...
can I check out your design documents?

Since I'm making my own, it would be mean not to have a look at yours...

Nice! [smile] Reminds me of QBasic. You should make an IDE (or was there one?).

He has a syntax highlighting editor named Tide (tide.exe). Obviously, he has "been there" and "done that" =D

Again, good work. I like it.

I was telling you that he DOES have an IDE. You were the one asking for it. Obviously YOU were the one who didn't read the info too carefully.

Noooooooo.

I was asking that question to him, meaning how long did it take him to make his whole package. So sorry for the misunderstanding... I'll edit for clarity.

Haha, sorry for the snappy response. I thought you were being sarcastic with me, being like "How long did it take _you_ to figure that one out, einstein."

Sorry 'bout that ;)

I deleted my post.

No problem. [smile]

Thanks for the testing guys.

Compiler + Libraries = 3 weeks on Thursday.
Virtual Machine = 1-2 months.

Theres No Design Document :)
The source code for the entire system will be availible soon

Also, side note 1.3.2:
Updated the String Library, added StrComp and a Split function
Updated Added "From String" Conversion functions
Updated VM Bug, Strings & Arrays didnt work properly.
