Gs3

[Twinny]

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)
}

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

Why C#?

[Julien]

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.

and this benefits Graal and it's developers how?

i hope they really go for C# instead of gs3

[Twinny]

C# will also be useful for me (as it's my language of choice atm )

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!
