Just took the time to read through this whole thread... awesome job! I can't wait to see the finished version.

You probably don't need to rewrite much - code just becomes hard to read because there's so much of it, and unlike English text, it does not follow a quite linear pattern.

Just space it out and put comment headers for sectoins (about one header every half a screen is what I use, and then more for really confusing lines of code.

I'm not on my regular, DBpro computer reight now so I can't try it, but this could really make programs smaller - source code takes up much less space than EXEs do, and users could just download the EXE once, then download much smaller patches of the script code.

Great work!

Well I decided that I was going to do a rewrite This time using tokens instead of string comparisons etc.

This time its going to be OO. So imagine the ability to have Classes and Member functions for your class

*update*


My birthday was a few weeks ago and i got a GREAT book, "Game Scripting Mastery". I strongly advise any one with an interest in designing languages and/or understanding multi tasking etc to buy it.


This has meant i now have a resource to design the scripting engine alongside. Im thinking about rewriting certain parts etc.


Just a quick note however. The PE format (for exes) has anyone managed to write code which creates such a file. Any language would be nice. VB would be excellent

Rich

Yes I would be interested, I created a scripting language very similar to the early versions of PowerSCRIPT a few years back. It's a shame I don't have the time to get back into proper coding but I'll definitely buy that book you mentioned.

I’d also be interested in using PowerSCRIPT in a project sometime in the future. You say it’s open source so if I gave you credit would that mean I could edit it for my own purposes as long as I don’t re-release the code?

You can use it. The point about re-releasing the source would be something i will think about.

Still working on new version, should be good

Wouldn't you rather re-use an old thread than create a new one?
