[Gsg0-devel] [dev] Scripting Language - Draft

[Tim C. <tf...@le...>]

This is a draft of the scripting language.  Bounce ideas back.

Statements end with a <cr>
Variables are defined dynamically and are dynamically typed
Types of variables:
 Float
 String
Operators:
 Standard math (+ - * /) on floats
 Assignment, equivilance (=)
Statements
 *Conditional
  if (condition)
  end if
 *Loops
  while (condition)
  end while
  for (a=0;a<5;a++)
  end for
 *Functions
  function name(parm1, parm2)
  end function
 *Calling Functions
  name(parm1, parm2)

Only some commands are allowed in the console
 *Assignment
 *Calling a function

Variables are either global or have scope local to the function they're
created in.

Commands are executed in order; functions are stored for future execution and any statement outside of a function is executed immedietly.  Variables defined outside of any function become global variables, and a local variable by the same name will override them.  (Have a way to reference the global one explicitly?)

You can't define a function inside of another, although that would seem to be allowed at first glance.
