👾 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: Added #define with code preprocessor for byte code fast constant handling
- 🤘 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)
- Made it standalone
- Added optional GarabageCollectionSet
- 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}"
)
