Re: [F-Script-talk] Re: Problem with variables defined in block

Hi,

thanks for the quick and detailed answer. It really helped me to =20
understand what is going on behind the scenes a little bit better and =20=

solves my problem.

Yes, I had seen that. but [Block save/load] will serialize/deserialize =20=

the Block-object, and not save a text representation, correct? And =20
since I want to be able to generate and manipulate my scripts in a text =20=

editor, I think a cannot use this method.

Well, it's nothing professional, but a project I want to submit to a =20
Macintosh game programming contest called uDevGames (see =20
http://www.idevgames.com/content/contest.php?id=3D10). The game ("Retro =20=

Maze") is an oldfashioned role playing game with a very simple, tile =20
based 3d-engine. The game's basic framework is done i Cocoa/ObjC. Now I =20=

plan to use fscript to glue everything together. More important, I want =20=

to attach scripts to various game objects (tiles, monster, walls, ...). =20=

These scripts will be executed whenever some condition is met (e.g. a =20=

tile's script is executed when the player walks over it) and provide =20
the game with the actual action.
I guess I could have used just about any scripting language to do that. =20=

However, fscript caught my eye through the articles on the =20
O'Reilly-network. It looked different, but very interesting and elegant =20=

- I was really fascinated by the fact that control structures are =20
implemented using blocks and messages! Since portability to other =20
platforms is not a concern for me, it doesn't matter that fscript is =20
only available on OSX at the moment.

Merci bien,

Knud
