crplJs

crplJs is a Transpiler created to convert code with Javascript like syntax to crpl.

Usage

To compile files specify them via the command line.
Outputs will be created with the same file name and a .crpl extension

Windows

Download the program from the release section. Or compile it yourself using CMake

crpl.exe foo.js bar.js

Linux & OSX

Compile the program using CMake

mkdir bin
cd bin
cmake ../
make

./crpl someFile.js

Usage

The Syntax is basically just plain Javascript.
There is an example file inside the sample folder.
And a definitions file for ease of use.

All code on the base level of the file will be put into a once block
All code inside the main function will be run every frame.

Input variables are declared by using const.
const foo = 10 -> $foo:10

Normal variables can be declared by using let.
let bar = 3.14 -> 3.14 ->bar
These variables will only be accessible in their current and lower scopes.

Global variables can be declared by using var. These will be accessible from everywhere
var global = 3.14 -> 3.14 ->global

String concatenation should be done through template template strings or the concat function. Using + is also possible but could produce wrong output code in some cases.
`Hello ${var} world!`-> "Hello " <-var " world!" concat concat
or
"Hello " + var + " world!"-> "Hello " <-var " world!" concat concat

Functions work as expected except that you can return multiple elements.

function foo(bar) {
    return bar, 10; // returns bar and 10
}

For functions like these multiple variables can be declared/assigned at the same time.

let [x, y] = CurrentCoords();
[x, y] = CurrentCoords();

TODO

Add all native functions
Add more examples
Add all functions to to definition file
