yeah its a nice feature to have! A good compromise between C style switch and overly complex pattern matching. I decided to try it after reading journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2011/01/16/p...

I know that feeling ! The difference between designing the language and actually using it is wild.
"its going to be so nice and convenient"
vs
"wait how am i expected to do X again ?"

Interesting take, CMake is indeed a weird thing. It's scary at first, but when it works it "just" works... never stopped being confusing to me tho. I don't even know what to think about the documentation at this point, StackOverflow has been much more helpful for me.

Not a lot of visually interesting things going on atm (for now). Regardless, here's an update: every pixel on this gif was drawn through my own scripting language !
Re-writing nemo-lang with a stack vm is really paying off, integration is going SO smoothy this time !

Making my own engine's api for my own language is actually really fun!

what the code looks like:

Quick favour to ask - this looks like it might have been delisted as it's not showing up in new or in search results for me - would anyone be able to search for it on itch and let me know if it shows in either for you?

Kinsplant is a online asynchronous game of hide and seek made for GBJam10.

The server has been down for a few months but I've popped it back online now.

Long time no post ! I attempted the recent 7drl jam using my scripting language, and the compiler blew up in my face, so i decided to re-write the whole language. That's what I've been up to this past month... 🧵
("alt": gif of how far i got in the jam project)

PS: the code shots are all weird because i couldn't find a pretty code tool with options for custom syntax, and no language matches mine exactly...

There's some more in there that I could talk about, both feature and implementation wise... Overall, It's the most complex and fascinating programming project I've ever tackled.
Its crazy I managed to write 2 compilers in 3 month in C... Anyway, I'll gladly answer anyone's questions.

a snippet showing how nemo's "puts" built-in function can be used to print or interpolate / concatenate strings, as well as the different rng functions.

some built-ins:
'puts' statement prints expressions, separated by semi-colons or commas. Semi-colons insert a new line.
Used as an expression, puts returns an interpolated string.

Nemo also has a built-in random number generator (using @mattiasg.bsky.social 's rnd.h library).

demonstration of the := value assignment operator, in record objects

demo of the slices syntax. It looks like: [ start : end ] where start and end are, if omitted, respectively index 0 and last index.

Heap container objects (arrays and records) are assigned by reference using '=', and by value when using ':='.
Arrays and string support slicing. A slice from first to last element is effectively a copy.

a series of functions returning arrays and records. this snippet also shows arrays initialization.

Arrays and records can be returned from functions.
Arrays can be initialized with or without values.

cheap infinite recursion goes brrrr

the separation of exit and return allowed me to implement TCO very easily ! return followed by a function call ? that's a tail call !

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_call

nemo functions, declared with "def ... end", showing void and typed functions, as well as a single block typed function.

Nemo functions are statically typed. Inside functions that don't return anything (void functions), the 'exit' keyword must be used to stop the execution early. Using exit is not allowed in typed functions. 'return' must always be followed by an expression. Nemo has closures.

A chain of conditional blocks, using if elif else, closed by an 'end' token. There's also a single statement if statement, using nemo's arrow syntax.

a match statement, demonstrating pattern matching

a classic while loop, with continue and break

a lengthy demo of nemo's for loop. showing the possible syntax, with or without iterator, default iteration step

Control flow and loop primitives:
- if - elif - else - end
- while and for loops (numeric bounded loop)
- match case (pattern matching)
- ternary expression

code snippet showing the different nemo types, with the exception of functions

It features lexical scoping, first class functions, optional semi-colons and 0 base indexing.
Supported types are: null, num (numbers), strings, functions, arrays and records (structs).

a snippet of nemo code, implementing the rule110 one dimensional cellular automaton

the code output

Now that I'm finally done re-implementing its previous features (and more!) here is a little tour of nemo lang.
It's an imperative and procedural high level scripting language. Nemo is dynamically typed at its core, with optional type contracts and statically typed functions.

Hi everyone!
I've organized a jam for artists to celebrate 30 years of Tamagotchi!

The goal is to create lots of little digital monsters inspired by the famous virtual pet.
