Kafe lang

Goal

This language is aiming video games, and was created to replace Lua, which lacks proper classes and convenient arrays.

Example code

cls Player
    // constructor, must be unique
    new Player(x: int, y: int, name: string)
        m_x = x
        m_y = y
        m_name = name
    end

    fun getName() -> string
        ret m_name
    end

    fun sayHi(other: Player) -> string
        ret format("%s says hi to %s", m_name, other.getName())
    end

    // all the variables in a class are automatically private
    m_x: int
    m_y: int
    m_name: string
end  // terminator is mandatory for classes

fun main() -> int
    superFola: Player = new Player(0, 0, "SuperFola")
    someone: Player = new Player(10, 5, "Someone")

    superFola.sayHi(someone)

    ret 0
end
