I'm working on a scripting language, finished lexical analysis phase and working on type checking / VM code generation. A prototype of the compiler can be seen at http://www.javaengines.dk/arenabots It's inside an empty prototype that doesn't do anything, just press "test GUI", then when the window pops up, press "login", then "new robot", the big text-area is for code. If you could mess around trying to create some scripts and "compile" them, note if something compiles that shouldn't, doesn't that should, weird error-messages etc. Any suggestions/comments on GUI are welcome too. code syntax: (inspired by C/Java and VB) 4 datatypes: int float boolean string lines / whitespace / case unimportant. //type and /*type comments ignored*/ the code has 2 parts, declarations(optional) and code(mandatory). declarations are of the form: type-specifier id = expr; example = int a = 2; code starts with "begin" and ends with "end" between those keywords are 0-n statements, that are either assignments or control structures (a third kind of statement "external" will be added later to interact with the game, it has the form external-id(expr) and can be both a statement and an expression, but isn't implemented yet) note that only assignments (id = expr) works inside code, not declarations. All statements (except control structures that have other terminators) are terminated by ; control structures: if(expr) statement-list elseif(expr) statement-list else statement-list endif while(expr) statement-list endloop nonsense example:
