Part 3 of makin custom #coding language for game ✧˖°.
After STRUGGLING for a week, finally got custom syntax declarations working. 🎉
Since each project I use this for may require different structures for conditional statements/loops/etc., wanted a way to define them on a per-project basis #gamedev

Its content is:
syntax [SYNTAX_NAME]:
pattern: # First possible pattern
[SYNTAX_PATTERN_1]
# Can have multiple patterns...
pattern: # Second possible pattern
# Patterns can use any characters.
# Pattern starts after first indent after pattern
a 1 🎃
# Use triangle-brackets for expression inputs
# <[NAME]: [TYPE]>
<myNumber: int>
# Whitespace is ignored unless identation changes,
# so this is valid use of the syntax.

Part 2 of making my custom scripting language for my game.
Making a whole interactable demo for the documentation cause why not. The compiler is written in #haxe allowing me to export it as a JavaScript library that runs entirely on the frontend, making it just a liiiiiittle easier. #gamedev #code

So the programming language I'm working on is named "SillyScript". It's intended for scripting scenes in my games by generating JSON that the game interprets. It's technically more of a markup-language disguised as a traditional coding language.

Oh hey! Shout-out to a year ago when I would post almost daily. 😶🌫️
The October vibes are HITTIN, so I'm going to try daily posting my gamedev shenanigans again. Let's see if I can keep it up for the rest of the year.
Please bear with me this first week as I finish making my programming language. 😅

Okay!! It maaaay seem like I haven't done much, BUT I wrote Steam descriptions, got page prepped, website/email registered. Bunch of small stuff I needed to get out of the way.
+ Finished FOUR environments for demo; some still need unique decor.

Added system for various decor objects like rocks and tall-grass (or seaweed for underwater world). Helps make the world look a little more alive! :D
Still need to give them proper particles upon destruction.

One of the core issues with Codfather was the fact all turns ran simultaneously, making it difficult to determine turn order + why certain attacks missed (AND caused TONS of painful, overlapping sound effects). (1/2)

New year new me. My goal was for Steam demo/page of Teleport Man out by Feb. Next Fest, but that's not happening.
I enjoy Codfather development, so let's see if I can finish+release it as Steam game in 1 month.
I'll allot 1 week to make Steam demo I like, if I hate it, I drop & don't look back. 😏
