Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 2289	After giving it some serious thought, I think I've figured out how to make a fully customized programming language and compiler in GM6.1 Registered. What you do is create either 1) your own text field, or 2) a list of functions and variables, kind of like Swish Max. Each of the functions can refer to a piece of GML, which refers to an outside DLL. Once you compile the source code for your program or whatever, and convert it into an executable, you can copy all of the DLLs used in production and bundle them with your application. As far as your application knows, it's a saved game refering to some DLLs. Just a thought, and a potential find. I'll experiment with it later on and report back. « Last Edit: March 01, 2007, 01:11:03 am by 4Sword » Logged

In theory, yes but unless you find a dll that can interprate a custom programming language, your pretty funked. Actually, there are several DLLs based in e.g. C++. The custom language is like a C++ based language. Logged

I think you mean...

"Why the hell are you trying to interpret an interpreted scripting language within an interpreted scripting language"

Anyway, don't even bother to try it. Scripting language already take a huge preformance hit (20x for the fastest, several hundred times for the slowest) when writen in native code, an interpreted-interpreted scripting language would just be frankly awfull.

He wants to create a scripting language withing Game Maker itself, imagine something like sgml (Small Game Maker Language), which would be interpreted by the Game Maker Language, which is itself interpreted by Delphi (If I get it right).

But do it for the fun and experience and educational benifit to yourself. Could be fun, and give you a great feeling when it all comes together, right? It'd be easier though, C++, making use of all the abstract data types and especially things fromm the boost library.. Would make this kind of thing massively easier. All you have to do, as you say, is pass the text that someone has written, to a DLL function which can interperate it, though that has its limitations. An easier start, might be adding things to GML, and writing a GML program to unfold this code into a proper GM script for example. Logged

Fear my Blades Reputation: +3/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 562	Hmm... Well it has sort of been done before. I've made a BrainF--- interpreter in GM before. It technically is a programming language, but not something anyone would really try making a game in for any reason other than the challenge, and then it can't work with graphics so everything is ASCII. Actaully Mit did one first, but his was buggy so I did a working one... then broke it trying to optimize it because it was waay too slow, which brings me to the question - why? It would be uselessly slow if it was made in GM. The same reason BrainF--- exists is why. The language isn't useful, it was just done because someone wanted to see if it would work. Logged

Fear my Blades Reputation: +3/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 562	No... I used GM 6.1 though. I wanted to optimize it before I put it up on the site :'( I could probably fix it, but I never really felt motivated to since it was a pointless project anyway. Logged

Things to see and people to do. Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 2289	In my case, this is merely a test. My original thought was creating a programming language called Aspen, but I had no idea if it would be possible, given GM's limits. Ah well... Logged
