  • Uh-O .... look what I did.

    Renegade BBS now has its own internal programming language. And on top of that, I made a converter for MPL's to Renegade's RGL files so now you can use your mystic MPLs in Renegade if they aren't mystic data specific when you switch over to Renegade/DOS/Win32/Linux next month.

    ... He who hesitates is trampled by the mob.

    I'm curious, why invent a brand new programming language for it? It's possible to embed an interpreter for an existing, mature language like JavaScript or Python into a piece of software and customize it with functions to call and objects to use, so that you can leverage that language's existing capabilities. You'd still be making a custom function/object interface for the language, but you'd be using a language that's already mature and familiar to some people.

    It's not really new. It's Pascal-lite. Which the program is written in. Pascal has been around for years, so it is mature and familiar with anyone that has programmed.

    Ah, that's cool.
