Sword of Jade: Parallel Dreams
Complete Hamsterspeak Source Release!

I am happy to announce the release of the Jade scripts under the RPL license, which is included with the files. This is all of the scripts needed to compile and run Sword of Jade.

You will also need the Windows version of HSPEAK to compile.
This is required. Sword of Jade's scripts WILL NOT COMPILE in the MSDOS HSPEAK.EXE
Download Windows HSPEAK here

Notes:
* there is an extreme lack of any helpful commenting.
* when compiling... give it lots of time. like 5-10 minutes. you will be sitting there for a while.
* there is no support for these scripts. although if you ask a question and i can understand it, i will try to answer it.

Knock yourselves out.

Hmm, I just thought of something. I wonder if anyone would care for a new flag in hspeak which outputs the names of the scripts as it's compiling. So:

It would be probably better to show the script name in the error message. Then you don't have to choose between garbage and more information.

These scripts are epic. They are over twice the size of the GAME plus CUSTOM sources put together :O

Wow, setmaps split into 7 scripts to prevent buffer overflows...

And footoff: aren't you glad this is a command now? :)

Reading through these sources, I discovered: HS suffers from lack of switch statement.

It's called a joke, Mike. ~~HamsterSpeak isn't lacking anything.~~ Problem is, I don't see an easy way of doing it. But I'll look at implementing break anyway.

Is a 'switch' operation (I suppose that's not really the correct word for it) impossible? It would be lovely, if it is what I am thinking of (sort of an extended if, with case by case blocks of code). What is a 'break' statement?

It'd be easy enough to implement at the compiler level, if only someone still had a Euphoria compiler.

Break = stop executing this script, and let the next-up script run

Switch =

The Euphoria interpreter is free. How else do I work on HSpeak?

And I'm not so sure that a HamsterSpeak switch statement should fall through at all. This isn't C.

(Also, Mike, that isn't break. That's exit (a HS version of exit that is))

Break = pop the execution context stack, i.e. exit the innermost loop/block. If it's at the top level, the script should then terminate.

And, yes, it should fall through. If not, I will asplode. There are soo many uses for fallthrough on switches it's not funny.

Select Case doesn't fall through.

It would be useful enough without a fall through, I think. If 10% of the work gets 90% of the benefit, then it's probably worth it.

Anyone's eyes cross looking at all the code yet?

I discussed with TMC the possibility of setting this up in some sort of repository, which would make it a lot easier to track.
