Here’s my main thing right now: The Toy Programming Language
It’s been a few weeks since my last post here, so lets discuss something related to Toy - not the langauge itself, but rather how I’m using it in practice. Because yes, I am actually using it.
I’ve talked about Toy a lot on here, but I don’t think I’ve talked about any of the interesting elements that I think make the language interesting. Since I’ve been neglecting this blog for a while, and I’m not interested in doing a deep-dive into every facete of the codebase, so lets have a close look at one aspect that surprised me: How to implement opaques.
Last night, I found a video by Tim Cain about implementing a quest system. He lays out a simple, straight forward to coding quest systems, but I realized that my own experience with quests in The Mana World differed from his approach, so I wanted to outline another way to handle quests, as well as my own thoughts on designing a quest system. Brace yourself, we’ll be using some XML and the DSL content.
