Today hasn't gone very well.

A few thoughts have been festering over the past week..

Very very very very very very basic stuff, here!!

After a week of thinking, reading, planning and more, I finally got a good second day's grip on the Script Engine, yesterday.

Ugh.. That script engine isn't coming together very well.

The scripting engine takes one step forward, and half-a-dozen back.

Hello again, quirky boxy spaceman!

Over on my last JSE Scripting Engine post, Alan suggested the following...

Day five, and after a bit of tweaking, Function Values are being returned.

Reverse Polish Notation is a form of mathematical layout, whereby your equation function is left until the end of the numbers that it'll work with.

Not 100% sure where this week's SmileBASIC game is heading.

7am, woke up with a banging headache.

Most of the tweaks to the JSE recently have been little bits over the past couple of days.

I was supposed to be starting a Browsercade game, yesterday. I certainly wasn't expecting to do much to the JSE engine.. But the fun of the puzzle dragged me back in!

Took some time to work on the basic UI for JSE, yesterday.

By this point, I've completely lost track of what day I'm up to.

Yesterday I spent most of the day battling with Scales. I added my first "sprite" to the JSE engine, and things went downhill from there!

I took a huge chunk out of the RPN code, yesterday, and sat rewriting it all.

JSE's coming along at a measured pace, and as with all things, SpikeDislike will be my test.

I haven't yet coded the functionality of the Sprite Editor, and instead have chosen to work on its data compression...

Bow Wow, Platdude Bob!!!!000!!!

A lot of rejigging, but eventually I got...

I guess that Covid Jab hit me, after all.

Definitely going to have to cut out a huge chunk of code, I reckon.

The rewrite of the Parser, to account for a more complex set of stackage, is going reasonably well.. .. I think!

Switching from 2 values per line to 3 values per line was indeed exceedingly complicated. I should probably have accounted for further values in the future, and will now be kicking myself that I haven't. Ho hum..

You can try out my scripting language in your browser, right now!!
