#sunscript# a legibility-driven oop scripting language compatible with the love2d game framework

!!! THIS IS MEANT TO BE A WORKING CONCEPT !!!
there is no easy way to debug sunscript right now. errors cannot be traced and sometimes don't even show up explicitly. it should not be used in production unless you're super crazy.

#how to use#

require("sun")

then require .sun files as you would with .lua files.

#check out some sunscript#

###classes###

class Vehicle {
    constructor(x, y) {
        self.x = x;
        self.y = y;
    }
	    
    setPosition(x, y) { self.x = x; self.y = y; }
    getPosition() { return self.x, self.y; }
    
    start() { }
}

local v = new Vehicle(10, 10);
v.start();

###polymorphism### class Motorcycle extends Vehicle { start() { super:start(); } } ###multiple inheritance### class Person { eat() { print("oishii"); } }

class Chef {
    cook() { print("pastrami"); }
}

// did you know that a programmer is both a person and a chef?
class Programmer extends Chef, Person {
    program() { print("i know python"); }
}

local programmer = new Programmer();
programmer:cook();
programmer:eat();
programmer:program();

###C++ inspired syntax###

for (local i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    local car = new Car(i);
    local motorcycle = new Motorcycle(i);
    continue; // continue keyword compatible with lua 5.1 and 5.2
}

###do pcalls with try-catch###

try {
    unknownfunction();
}
catch (e) {
    print("we got this: " .. e);
}

###new and old operators###

i = 1 << 1; // bitwise operations
i = 1 & 1;
i = 1 | 1;
i++; i--; // increments and decrements
i += 1; i-= 1; // self operation

###and more### this scripting language is still new and the philosophy behind it is still being mulled over. expect features to being constantly added and removed.

the current philosophy is, "be a less strict c++, but still be lua"
