Slime Salad

OK. Thank you hugely for your work. How do you want to be credited, just "Lenny"? I'll commit it to the OHRRPGCE SVN repo (downloading and uploading the source is really not fun, why did we do that?) and continue working on it there, now that I know I won't be conflicting with your changes...

Yes, I mentioned that HSpeak does 3 passes, first for all the defineconstants and also definetrigger, second to process other top-level blocks once the constants and the names "script" and "plotscript" are known, and third to compile scripts after all script call signatures are k...

Not a very satisfying fix when you can't see it for yourself and don't know what the problem was!

It's nice that it continues on an error, because otherwise you wouldn't get anything useful out of it. Reading about doing error reporting with PLY. I guess you're referring to the fact that default arguments are written to scripts.txt, but the script compiler needs to add defaults for missing argum...

Oh, yes, very nice. I think the biggest missing feature is default arguments for function and script calls (and argument count checking). I'm amused that string_ref can be only a constant, not an integer literal, which is by far the most common case. Actually, it should be an arbitrary expression. R...

Oh, wow. (You really should start making new posts instead of editing your previous post, I missed that update) commands.bin is only used for certain error messages and is optional. A bit surprised you went for Python 2 compatibility, but not unwelcome. I did just backport DWRL's Python 3 fixes to P...

:( rm is so dangerous, no rational person would believe it or accept it. I don't know how I've avoided any major mishaps deleting whole directories with a typo. I keep whole-disk snapshots and backups, and I have had to recover accidentally deleted files from snapshots a few times. (I trust you know...

Ah OK, it's not strange that programs freeze while they compete for harddisk access. You aren't the first person asking for help with a corrupt file who didn't know about autobackups. The only hint in the engine is the brief message when you save, "Saved, and copied to autobackups" (which ...

Yes, every time you save the game (not just when quitting but also "Save and continue"), the .rpg is also copied to autobackups. It's probably also possible to recover data out of that corrupt .rpg since it doesn't sound like it's completely empty. I could take a look if you want, but basi...

Did you hear that a few months ago someone came by wanting to record a Let's Play of Alien Squatter, but complained that the game was running at a low framerate. They didn't want to do it before the game gets upgraded to 60fps. The only other thing to consider are slice and camera movement/velocity ...

I thought you were going to say that you removed none nodes in order to remove "variable" and "subscript", which can't be put in the hsz. They need to be removed so that the correct number of children is known for every node in compile_recurse. I think a variant of your previous ...

Oh, right, I forgot that t_NAME doesn't handle :, but it can: def t_NAME(t): r'[a-zA-Z_]([a-zA-Z0-9_ ]|:(?!=))*' t.value = t.value.replace(' ', '').lower() t.type = reserve...

Ah, an example of a script name starting with "do ". Actually, I think that's going to be far more common than identifiers starting with any other reserved word, so I guess "do" could be brackets-mandatory. Or use "do:" syntax instead... it's not python syntax, but it's...

Did you check the private app files ("persistent storage"/getFilesDir()) directory for it, which AFAIK is unreadable unless you rooted you phone? That's not the same as the data directory where the .rpgdir is extracted to. Even when the app is installed on external storage, the files dir i...

Yes, the parsed AST for baconthulhu.hss (and plotscr.hsd) looks great, as far as it works! And the grammar is a lot more straightforward and makes more sense to me. I see you've been working on hspeak_gen.py too. BTW, I just noticed you replaced the original lines from compile_recurse: if kind in &a...
