Implement a script language similar to Python/QBasic about neko8 HOT 10 OPEN

Actually to my knowledge, neko8 implements Lua, with ASM being interpreted within Lua.

from neko8.

Yup, neko8 supports lua as main scripting language, moonscript, asm and BASIC. To switch between them use new 'lang'. new defaults to lua, new asm creates asm cart.

Thank you for your feedback ;) We are porting neko8 to c++ at the moment, so the lua branch is not being developed anymore.

And you should use lua build for now ;)

To run it, you will need love2d. Run it with:

love ./GJSE.love

@pi-pi3 did not you want to keep it? It is awesome, yet simple. Porting it to c++ (or implementing lua sandbox for it) shouldn't be hard. As we all know, I'm working on a few jams at the moment, that's why I did not make a single commit in the last few weeks. But the project is NOT dead.

@incinirate I compiled the source 1 hour ago, i tested helloword_asm. Now I try to do something and see how she uses LUA.

Thank you for your response, I really hope that my idea is taken into account. The project has great potential, a language like Python is much easier and recalls the 80's ;)

Let's start a Lua vs Python war: Hey, LuaJIT is a lot better than Python, a code file would take 100 light years to compile, while LuaJIT compiles the code in 0.0001 seconds.

Hi there, I'm the developer of asm.lua. asm.lua isn't being supported anymore. It was a quick experiment that is now in stagnation and it won't be supported in neko8 anymore. Lua remains the default in neko. But there have been ideas of implementing other scripting languages, like JavaScript and a BASIC. If anyone is willing to implement Python, it shouldn't be too hard, now that a C++ port is being worked on

I'm fine with you working on it, but I won't be anymore

Ok, that's fine ;)

@RamiLego4Game Liko-12 is very cool <3 the font changes because the standard one can read only an alien with 12 eyes :D

Thanks for the gentle response guys. The new C ++ port is a nice idea, I guess I can see new features and improved performance in the future. Thanks for your great work.
