👾 Now it's alive :D.
Based on the Torque3D (4.x) source code this is my version of TorqueScript without Torque3D.
- 🚀 ElfScript: Added fastpath for static float fields setDataField which is 28 times faster than before. (ELFSCRIPT_FASTPATH_FLD)
- 🚀 ElfScript: Neat Syntax Enhancement: You can set PoD types in C style: Foo.MyVector = { 50.1, 78.5 };. Foo.MyVector= { $a * 5, $b * 4}; looks much better than: Foo.MyVector= $a * 5 SPC $b * 4; Also implemented for function calls:
myFunction({1,2,3});. - 🚀 ElfScript: Added #define with code preprocessor for byte code fast constant handling (ELFSCRIPT_PREPROCESSOR)
- 🤘 Added ImGui bindings to ElfScript. Demo: BaseElf
- 🤘 Added SDL3 Input (keyboard/mouse) handling and binding with events and polling to ElfScript. Demo: BaseElf
- 😍 ElfScript: Added some handy console functions but this is my favorite: formatString(string format, ...) where you are able to add up to 31 parameter to really format a string :)
- ElfScript: Added Con::ConsoleDocForStub default false to make the classes/function dumps better human readable but kept the code when it's exported for an parser.
- ElfScript: Added IMPLEMENT_ENGINE_TYPE_TRAITS for non PoD console types (C linkage incompatible warning)
- ElfScript: ELFSCRIPT_STRICT_SLOT_TYPE saving the name to type in the VM - not sure it this is faster or slower with the lookup overhead. Not recommended because it save the field name and then all fields with the same name are casted to the type of the first field it found.
- Made it standalone
- Added optional GarabageCollectionSet (ELFSCRIPT_GARBAGECOLLECTION) not recommended it slowdown the delete process when using lots of objects
- Experimental: Really not recommended: ELFSCRIPT_CALLFUNC_CACHED a attempt to speed up but ended up in instable calls.
- EngineGlue for init/process/shutdown
- Ripped out some stuff i dont need like Taml
- Fixed some memory leaks :)
- Added auto enum binding as constants
- Added new Log functions
- Fixed Emscripten and Android Build (Android problem: file loading does not work in apk - i added overwrite exec - example in OhmFlux/ElfTest)
- Replaced Math with Light Version (based on Torque2D) since the Types like Point3F are removed
- Since i also removed nearly all platform code - network is not implemented, because i need to add threading/mutex again in order to get it working.
// Hello World example:
echo("Hello World");
// Variables:
$value = 5; //global Variable
%value = 5; //local Variable - inside function
// Objects:
$fooObj = new SimObject(Foo) {
TypeF32 myValue = 1.0; // dynamic field can be defined in script
class = "FooClass"; // define a class name which can be used by different objects
};
echo(Foo.myValue); // gives 1.0
echo($fooObj.myValue); // gives 1.0
function FooClass::print(%this) { // adding a custom method
// %this is a local variable which holds the SimObject-ID
echo(%this.myValue);
}
$fooObj.print();
echo($fooObj SPC Foo.getId()); //print SPC (space separated) object id of the foo object
// You can also add a new dynamic field with assigning a value:
$fooObj.name = "Tom"; //bad idea overwrites object name
$fooObj.playerName = "Tom"; //a fields which is not defined by engine
echo(Tom.playerName); // since i renamed it with .name= Foo is gone and Tom is here ;)
$fooObj.dumpFields(); //list all fields of the object
$fooObj.dump(); //list all fields and methods of the object
Since ElfScript is based on TorqueScript you can also read this Documentation
The current codebase i use with the latest changes and fixes. Like the stuff in the TorqueScript folder but more cleanup unused Files and Functions.
Located in Folder BaseElf:
A neat basic Game Engine using BaseFlux as base for SDL3/ImGui/ResourceManager and ElfScript. It's also an enhanced example how to embed ElfScript.
This is a nice place to learn ElfScript (aka TorqueScipt ).
My first working Version. I will not change this anymore. I work on the code in the ElfScript folder.
Unfinished non functional attempt to make it much smaller.
added math (using also Ohmflux functions)- added Platform functions (not complete)
- added some classes to test Sprite/Texture/Label/Font/Audio instance ....
- Using the raylib commands but in three Main-Callbacks:
- function MainInit() { return true;}
- function MainUpdate() {}
- function MainShutDown() {}
Just tested BaseElf on Windows. All Projects using ElfScript needs:
# Windows - winVolume :: need to set on all builds
if(MSVC)
target_compile_options(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE "/Zc:wchar_t-")
target_compile_definitions(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE
NOMINMAX
UNICODE
_UNICODE
)
endif()
And if you want the binary in the base directory:
set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}"
# -- for windows:
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_DEBUG "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}"
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}"
)
