The Squirrel programming language 2.1.2

The Squirrel programming language is a high level imperative/OO programming language, designed to be a powerful scripting tool that fits in the size, memory bandwidth, and real-time requirements of applications like games. Although Squirrel offers a wide range of features like: - Open Source zlib/libpng licence - dynamic typing - delegation - higher order functions - generators - cooperative threads(coroutines) - tail recursion - exception handling - automatic memory management (CPU bursts free; mixed approach ref counting/GC) - both compiler and virtual machine fit together in about 6k lines of C++ code. - optional 16bits characters strings Squirrel is inspired by languages like Python,Javascript and expecially Lua(The API is very similar and the table code is based on the Lua one). squirrels syntax is similar to C/C++/Java etc... but the language has a very dynamic nature like python/Lua etc... local array=[1,2,3,{a=10,b="string"}]; foreach (i,val in array) { ::print("the type of val is"+typeof val); } Entity <- { } function Entity::MoveTo(newx,newy,newz) { x=newx; y=newy; z=newz; } PPlayer <- delegate Entity : { x=0 y=0 z=0 name="testy" } local newplayer= clone PPlayer; newplayer.MoveTo(100,200,300); Whats New in This Release: - new behaviour for generators iteration using foreach - now when a generator is iterated by foreach the value returned by a return val statement - will terminate the iteration but will not be returned as foreach iteration - added sq_setclassudsize() - added sq_clear() - added table.clear(), array.clear() - fixed sq_cmp() - fixed various minor bugs. squirrel programming language (scripting)
