Its currently enabled on Zone Iphone but not Delteria Iphone. The reason probably is because its half done? It works in NPC Weapons but not classes.

PHP Code:


		
			
//#GS3



function onCreated() {

  echo(getAddition(1,2));

}



function getAddition(a:number, b:number):number { 

  var result:number = a + b; 

  return result; 

}

Works on era, but the class example does not.

We have not enabled it yet on Graal servers. Part of the syntax has already been accepted (but ignored) for a few years.

Guess it's very lenient..i figured it would have kicked up a shitstorm considering you didn't specify a return type for onCreated() (i.e. void)

So how do we go about getting it enabled?

For what it's worth the V8 NPC-Server prototype that we tested was a much better idea than this. :(

Just tested this on Zone, why... It didn't give any error at all.

PHP Code:


		
			
  var list:int[];
  list = {1, 2, "Test"};

Also curious, why this didn't work.

PHP Code:


		
			
//#GS3
class Person extends TStaticVar{
  var nickname:string;
}
function onCreated():void{
  //Create an array of type Person
  var list:Person[];
  //Create some Person objects.
  var me:Person = new Person();
  me.nickname = "Nick";
  var them:Person = new Person();
  them.nickname = "Someone";
  //Add them to the list
  list.add(me);
  list.add(them);
  //Echo each Person element in the list
  for(var someone:Person in list){
    echo("Name: "@someone.nickname);
  }
}

It does nothing, no errors either.

Also will there be constructors?

Sorry for the spam, but will we be able to extend a TSocket :D?

Yes arrays seem to be bugged, we will work on it.

My desires:

Constructors (being able to overload would also be awesome but perhaps taking it too far)

PHP Code:


		
			
class Test {
  var myname : string;
  var myage : int;

  function Test(myname: string) {
    this.myname = myname;
  }
  //Because overloading is fun
  function Test(myname : string, myage : number) {
    this.myname = myname;
    this.myage = myage;
  }

  function echoValues() : void {
    printf("My name is %s and my age is %i", this.myname, (this.myage? this.myage : "Unknown"));
  }
}

function onCreated() : void {
  var TestObj : Test = new Test("Twinny", 25);
  TestObj.echoValues();

I know getters/setters will be on the way but this just seems more natural.

I added that printf as it will fail since it's not being referenced in that class(see: extern). For this, perhaps being able to simply prepend global. to global functions would be better. On a similar note, i've not tried but i hope we could use something like super.whatever to access base class items we inherited from :o

I still hate the whole object:type thing. Would love it if it was more like Java and C#, object something;

Hello,

By essence, GScript is a scripting language. GScript is more close to JavaScript-like languages, rather than Java or C#.

This type syntax was chose among other language syntaxes, because it is commonly-used to annotate types in ECMAScript-based languages.

For example:

HTML Code:

// ActionScript

function foo(a:int):int {...}



// TypeScript

function foo(a: number): number {...}



// UnityScript

function foo(a : int) : int {...}



// Haxe

function foo(a : Int) : Int {...}

So, when converting from GS2 syntax to GS3 syntax, you just have to add type annotations to the original syntax.

HTML Code:

//#GS2

function foo(a) {...}



//#GS3

function foo(a : int) : int {...}

With a Java or C# syntax, this will require more semantic changes to the language, like removing the "function" keyword.
Also, you lose the ability to easily import scripts from similar languages (ActionScript, JavaScript, UnityScript, TypeScript...).

HTML Code:

// Java or C#.

int foo(int a) {...}

Encountered some issues with inheritance,

PHP Code:


		
			
//#GS3

class BaseClass {
  var baseclassvar : number = 3;
  
  function overwriteMe() : string {
    return "You shouldn't see me without accessing baseclass";
  }
}

class InheritanceTest extends BaseClass {
  function overwriteMe() : string {
    return "You should see me!";
  }
}

function onCreated() : void {
  //var BaseClassTest : BaseClass = new BaseClass();
  //echo(BaseClassTest.baseclassvar);
  
  var TestObj : InheritanceTest = new InheritanceTest();
  echo(TestObj.baseclassvar);
  echo(TestObj.overwriteMe());
}

would spit out,

PHP Code:


		
			
Weapon/GUI-script Twinny/GS3-Inheritance added/updated by Twinny
Script: Couldn't create object: type BaseClass is not existing in function onCreated in script of Twinny/GS3-Inheritance
Script: Function TestObj.overwriteMe not found in function onCreated in script of Twinny/GS3-Inheritance
0

Next, uncommenting the lines resulted in,

PHP Code:

      typeName = stub.name.extends.name;
                                  ^

I was going to try and do a var BaseTestObj : BaseClass = TestObj; but figured it wouldn't get me too far :)

The class should extend something , try extends TStaticVar.
It will probably make it singleton but eh as long as you only use it once.
But also GS1-3 not being a proper language, it doesn't act like proper languages.
Oddly playing around, if you create the object, the class can extend it o.0 not the actual class though?

PHP Code:


		
			
//#GS3
class Foot extends TStaticVar{
  var id:int;
}
class Toe extends Foot{
  var id:int;
}
function onCreated():void{
  var Foot:Foot = new Foot();
  var toe : Toe = new Toe();
  toe.id = 1;
  echo(toe.id);
}

  var Foot:Foot = new Foot();

  var toe : Toe = new Toe();

  toe.id = 1;

  echo(toe.id);

}

And yet,

PHP Code:


		
			
class Animal { ... }

class Cat extends Animal { ... }

class Dog extends Animal { ... }

var cat : Cat = new Cat();

var dog : Dog = new Dog();

var cat_as_animal : Animal =  cat as Animal; // OK as the Cat type is a member of the Animal type.

var cat_as_cat : Cat = cat_as_animal as Cat; // OK as the Cat type is a member of the Animal type.

var cat_as_dog : Dog = cat as Dog; // KO as the Cat type is not a member of the Dog type.

var cat_as_animal_as_dog : Dog = cat_as_animal as Dog; // null as the Cat as Animal type is not a member of the Dog type.

Taken from: http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Crea...t3#as_operator

It did resolve my query regarding referencing the base class..need to use 'as' operator :)

Gos_pira

06-18-2013 12:05 PM

What's the point of extending if you still need to use the "as" expression? Seems rather retarded to me.

It would make sense if you used it in a foreach on an array of objects of different type.

Like:

"foreach (djur as Animal in this.Animals)"

while this.Animals contains Dog, Cat, Parrot etc.

I might just be misunderstanding something here, if so, disregard my post.

Gunderak

06-18-2013 02:06 PM

Foreach, I did for(various item:class_type in array)

  for(var someone:Person in list){

    echo("Name: "@someone.nickname);

  }

}

It does nothing, no errors either.

In the above code, the "list" variable was not initialized. The GS3 compiler currently fails to compile uninitialized variable declarations.

As a workaround, the following code should work:

PHP Code:


		
			
//#GS3

class Person extends TStaticVar{

  var nickname:string;

}

function onCreated():void{

  //Create an array of type Person

  var list:Person[] = {}; // Do not forget to initialize.

  //Create some Person objects.

  var me:Person = new Person();

  me.nickname = "Nick";

  var them:Person = new Person();

  them.nickname = "Someone";

  //Add them to the list

  list.add(me);

  list.add(them);

  //Echo each Person element in the list

  for(var someone:Person in list){

    echo("Name: "@someone.nickname);

  }

}

Hey Julien/Stefan,

Any update on my class extending problem? http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...9&postcount=90

Also, will overloading functions be supported?

Julien

06-24-2013 08:06 AM

Hello,

GS3 is currently emulating classes using only GS2 features.
While the GS3 syntax already support constructors, getters / setters, inheritance, classes can only be used as containers as for now.

You can only define simple classes with members initialization but functions do not work yet.

Example:

PHP Code:


		
			
class Animal extends TStaticVar {

  var name : string;

  var canBreathe : boolean = true;

}



class Dog extends Animal {

  var canBark : boolean = true;

}



function onCreated() : void {

  var dog : Dog = new Dog();

  dog.name = "Woof";

  echo(dog.canBark); // 1 (true)

  echo(dog.canBreathe); // 1 (true)

}

I realize that this deals with Graal's actual source code rather graalscript, but does this means it might possible to port graal to other platforms or handhelds, ie. 3DS and Vita?

We also plan to convert the engine to GS3 sometime :) We more look into targeting Javascript and C# though

Gunderak

07-17-2013 07:34 AM

Why C#?

Julien

07-17-2013 03:54 PM

There are several cross-platform game libraries that are based on the Mono / .NET Framework (C#):

Unity 3D (also supports JavaScript-like language)
Xamarin
MonoGame
...

Conversion from GS3 to C# would allow the Graal engine / tools / scripts to be compatible with these libraries, and possibly deploy on new platforms. :cool:

hello!

lets just hypothesize for one moment that i were to put my scripting abilities towards developing a playerworld which uses gs3, what alternative platforms could i then expect the playerworld to be made available on, and what time frame could i expect this to be within?

alternatively, if i were to develop a playerworld using gs2 instead, is the current pc platform even going to be supported in future?

thank you!
