Yeah it wouldn't. A lot of things are now being done on serverside. For example if you tried taking GK offline, it would not work since most of it is serverside script and we do not have a NPC Server to use in combination to the level editor.

Helps to write code which is more reliable and readable
The structure of objects can be analyzed for automatic script documentation
Dependencies can be analyzed so you can know which scripts access an object or function
We can make scripts running much faster (not right now but in the future
GraalScript3 can be converted to other languages and platforms, we are preparing something interesting for this to show in a few weeks

@Stefan While you're actively reviewing this thread can you elaborate on this and what you're preparing that's interesting?

Hey Julien/Stefan,

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

Also, will overloading functions be supported?

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)
}
